Exterior Design Trends
If you’re considering re-doing your home’s exterior, several trends will be coming around in 2023. Here’s what you need to know:
Paint Color
The paint color you choose for your home’s exterior is one of your most important decisions. Not only does it help your home stand out, but it also helps define the mood you want to set with your design. This year, we’re seeing a trend toward earthy browns and other warm neutrals that mimic the colors found in clay, soil, or stone.
Entry
The front door is a critical element of any design, and the trend for 2023 will be to keep it simple. The most popular color for a modern exterior house door is white, but you can opt for a lighter or darker shade depending on your personal preferences and the style of your home.
Porch
Many home buyers prefer to have a porch as part of their property. It’s an intelligent way to extend the living space of your home without breaking the bank, and it gives you more options for entertaining family and friends outside.
Materials
Natural stone, like granite, limestone, travertine, and slate, is another trending material for exterior home design. This is one of the most durable and affordable building materials available, and it adds a rustic yet timeless appeal to any home.
Brick is another common building material, and it’s a favorite of builders because it’s incredibly durable. It’s also an excellent choice for cladding a home, offering an elegant and timeless appeal.
Textures
Another big home design trend this year is to create a layered look with varying textures on your home’s facade. In the past, this was typically done through textured concrete or poured-in-place brick, but now homeowners are adding a variety of materials for texture to their homes, including wood.
Cottagecore
Inspired by idealized rural living, cottage-core incorporates a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle into its designs. This design style features natural and neutral colors, reclaimed furniture, and other antique and vintage elements.
Indoor Outdoor Flow
Blending the inside and the outside of your home has always been a hot trend in interior design. With this in mind, we’re seeing more and more homeowners turning their backyards into spaces perfect for entertaining and relaxing outdoors.
Windows and Doors
This year, we also see a growing interest in using new and updated windows on exterior home designs. Often used with siding and cladding, new windows provide an airy feel to any room inside the house while creating a brighter outside space.
