Outdoor-Indoor Integration
More homeowners are opting for smoother transitions between the indoor and outdoor spaces of their houses. For this reason, walls are being replaced by wider floor-to-ceiling sliding glass windows. The doors can then be slid open to make it easy to move between the lounge and the patio. This has been an existing trend that has stayed relevant due to the demand for easy indoor-outdoor access. From the exterior, the floor-to-ceiling windows also bring a contemporary aesthetic appeal to the home. The appeal is further enhanced by the outdoor furniture on the patios set on the outer side of the windows.
Use of Different Shades of Gray
The color gray has been used more often and especially in contemporary home designs. Grey combined with the flat roof designs give homes a futuristic aura. It brings warmth and creates a welcoming feeling to both owners and their guests. Grey is also the best choice for those who are going for a minimalist design.
Mixing Colors
More and more homeowners are painting their homes with different colors, bringing a high contrast to their home exteriors. One of the ways they are doing this is by painting the bigger portion of a wall with one color (e.g. white) and using a bright color such as purple to give the wall more character. Other homeowners, working with their designs, are painting a side of the house with two different bright colors on equal portions of the wall. If done correctly, contrasting colors will create a beautiful exterior.
Wood
The use of wood was prevalent in the 70s where a whole wall or side of a house was clad with black or brown wood. This trend has been revived and refined to give homes charming exteriors. Wood does not just make the house attractive, it is also long-lasting, and as such, homeowners won’t have to worry about having to renovate frequently. You could use wood, either on the entire wall or just on a small portion of it to accentuate the design.
Flat Roofs
The futuristic aura of flat roof designs is appealing especially to younger homebuyers. Homeowners who prefer subtlety also go for this design as flat roof structures are less pronounced than high roof English architecture, Chateaux designs, or Cape Dutch designs that may need thatch fire proofing. Flat roof designs also allow you to set up rooftop spaces, when you can host events. Rooftop spaces also provide a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape.
