5 Exterior Home Design Trends for 2021
Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to improve the curb appeal of your home? Maybe you’re planning to put your house on the market and need to make a few upgrades before listing it. Or perhaps a new garage door has been on your family’s “want it” list for long enough that it’s time to finally pull the trigger and make it happen
Whatever the reason, you’ll want to make sure that any changes you make are on trend. Now that 2021 is underway, here’s a peek at five exterior design trends we’ll all be seeing a lot of in the coming months.
Natural Light
Natural light is very trendy right now, and one of the best ways to enhance the natural light inside a home is to add windows. Of course, adding windows to a house is a big project that you may not be able to take on. Easier options include removing shutters to highlight existing windows or installing a full-view glass garage door.
Back to Nature
Wooden garage doors will continue to increase in popularity as we enter 2021 and more homeowners choose this natural alternative to metal and plastic. There are many different wood options to choose from, such as timber and oak, and plenty of stains to find the perfect look for your home. The wood goes through special processing to enhance durability and practicality.
Painting Brick
Homeowners are finally coming around to the conclusion that there’s nothing wrong with painting brick. In fact, a white coat of paint can really modernize the look of a brick exterior and enhance curb appeal. If you’ve been itching to try this but haven’t had the confidence to move forward, 2021 is the year to go for it.
Mixing Brown and Black
Much like painting brick, it was once considered a design faux pas to combine black and brown. But 2021 is all about stepping outside the box. It’s even okay to mix black with navy blue if that’s more your style. If you’re going to try combining these trending exterior house colors, just be sure to choose shades that contrast well enough that it looks intentional.
Statement Garage Doors
Garage doors are such a prominent part of a home’s exterior that homeowners are deciding basic and traditional just won’t cut it. Experts are predicting that 2021 will be the year of statement garage doors. Don’t be afraid to venture outside your comfort zone when looking at garage door colors and designs. You may be surprised to find that you even prefer a bolder look.
