Bring Natural Beauty Home: Elevate Your New England Home Exterior with LP SmartSide’s Naturals Collection

New England homes are known for their timeless charm—weathered shingle-style cottages, crisp white Colonials, and cozy Capes tucked into tree-lined streets. When selecting siding for your home, you want something that will withstand the elements and fits your home’s aesthetic. LP® SmartSide’s Naturals Collection™ gives homeowners the best of both worlds, combining the beauty of natural wood tones with the advanced durability of engineered wood siding. 

Color That Respects Tradition — and Stands Out

Many New England homeowners are drawn to timeless exterior colors: deep greens, soft browns, earthy grays, and rich neutral tones. The Naturals Collection™ checks all those boxes, offering prefinished colors that blend beautifully with colonial brick, natural stone foundations, and classic white trim.

For homeowners in historic districts or traditional neighborhoods, Naturals gives you a way to enhance your curb appeal while staying true to the architectural integrity of the home.

“The new Naturals Collection reflects our continued commitment to style, performance, and innovation,” said LP President Jason Ringblom. “These new colors not only complement our core 16-color palette but also meet the growing demand for wood-inspired tones—without compromising on durability or ease of installation.”

The new Naturals palette includes Bonsai Black, Weathered Walnut, Aged Amber, Saffron Cedar, Smoky Slate, and Washed White. These prefinished colors, available in both cedar and brushed smooth finishes, are designed to mirror the organic tones found in nature, making them ideal for homes surrounded by the woodlands, rocky coastlines, and dynamic seasonal backdrops that define New England.

Built to Perform in Harsh Northeast Conditions

Let’s face it—New England weather is no joke. Siding here needs to hold up to:

• Heavy snow and ice
• Nor’easters and coastal rainstorms
• Intense seasonal temperature swings

LP® SmartSide® is engineered wood, which means it offers superior impact resistance, resists warping, and won’t chip or peel like painted wood. The factory-applied finish on the Naturals Collection™ adds another layer of protection and eliminates the need to paint right after installation—saving you time and money.
