Roofing Trends for 2025

Copper-toned roofs are gaining popularity across Canada, adding a warm and elegant touch to the homes they adorn. This growing trend reflects a strong preference for shingles in rich, natural hues. Another emerging trend is Colour Drenching, which highlights monochromatic colour schemes in both interior and exterior design. Discover how to choose the perfect roof colour with advice from BP Canada’s CHROMA® Colour Lab experts..

The Colour Drenching trend for exteriors

The trend of using a single colour throughout an entire room (Colour Drenching) has taken the interior design world by storm and is now making its way outdoors. More and more Canadians are embracing this approach by choosing monochromatic colour schemes for their home’s exterior siding and roofing.

Colour Drenching involves painting a room in a single hue or using different shades of the same colour. This tone-on-tone effect is both inviting and luxurious. While this trend is gaining in popularity, many homeowners still prefer a mix of colours for their home’s exterior.

Copper-toned shingles

This Colour Drenching trend has boosted the popularity of neutral and saturated colours in asphalt shingles , such as copper.

Although black remains the most popular colour for roofing, shades of coppery brown are gaining ground in outdoor decoration, particularly for furniture and garden accessories. More and more homeowners are also turning to these hues for their roofs as well.

Copper-toned roofs also align with the return-to-nature trend, thanks to their authentic appearance that blends perfectly with rustic or wooded environments. These roofs pair well with various architectural styles and offer timeless elegance.

Copper, tan, and orange-toned hues are gaining popularity in interior design. It is therefore no surprise that they are also making their mark outdoors. Homeowners appreciate the warmth and inviting feel they bring to a roof, creating an attractive visual effect and harmonizing seamlessly with different home styles.

How to choose the best roof colours for your home?

Choosing the right shingle colour is the biggest challenge homeowners face when selecting a new roof. To help guide you in your roofing project, here are some essential tips:

Choose your style

Identify the look you want for your house. Do you prefer more modern or rustic? Grey or blue tones deliver a more urban, contemporary feel, while copper, browns and greens work best to deliver a nature-infused vibe. If you’re not ready to take the colour plunge, black – such as BP Canada’s Cumin (available in Eastern Canada) and Kanji (available in Western Canada) Signature shingles, the blackest black on the market – as well as nuanced grey are safe choices for a classic, timeless look.

Pairing colours to create harmony

Since a roof makes up one third of a home’s exterior, its colour will inevitably play a major role in the overall appearance of your home. Decide if you want a monochromatic effect for your exterior or if you prefer a roof hue that contrasts with the rest of your home’s features. If your facade has beige, cream, and brown tones, for example, a copper roof will provide a designer look that goes a long way in maximizing curb appeal.

Defining your personal tastes

Regardless of trends, a roof is a major purchase that will last for years, so you will be better off choosing a colour you love rather than one that is trendy. Start by searching through home decor and roofing websites – such as BP Canada’s, which has an inspiration section to help narrow down your choice – or browse through magazines and then walk around your neighborhood to identify roofing colours you like best. Create a board of ideas highlighting your top picks to help with your selection.

Get a preview before finalizing your choice

Given that your roofing choice is a decision that will last for years, it’s a good idea to ‘try before you buy’ with online tools — such as BP Canada’s free Visualizer — that allow you to virtually view different roofing options on your house. Always ask your dealer or roofer for an actual sample to confirm your choice.
