The first thing a guest notices in your home is your exterior. It\u2019s your best chance to make your home look palatial, and dramatic, and pose an awe-inspiring look, to build suspense in their minds before they actually get to see the grandeur of your interiors. Notice how we didn\u2019t say large, or expensive homes? That\u2019s the point. No matter what type of house you\u2019re planning for \u2013 a small cottage or a large mansion, you can bring home exterior facades that make your home look like a million bucks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 14 popular facade choices you should capitalize on when building your dream house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Timeless Exterior Facades<\/b><\/h2>\n

1. Textured Paint<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

Textured paint in home exteriors is a type of paint that contains additives such as sand, silica, or other textured materials to create a tactile surface. This textured finish adds depth, dimension, and visual interest to the exterior walls of a home, providing a unique aesthetic and helping to disguise imperfections on the surface. Creamy white textured paint is a lovely color for home exteriors. Bright white colors were all the rage, but it looks clinical, fades easily with the weather, and shows wear and tear. You can replace the bright white with softer, warmer whites that look like white.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Earthy Tones and Dark Paint Colors<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

Soft home exterior colors are OK, but darker colors are taking root in the interior design industry. Dark, rich, moody exterior colors like charcoal, deep green, and royal blue make the house traditional, palatial, and one-of-a-kind. A fully dark exterior can be too much to look at, but here\u2019s a neat trick. Consider color blocking \u2013 where you use dark colors on one or more sections of your home without committing one color to the entire exterior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Wooden Accents<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

Wood headers over your window, wood posts on your porch, and natural wood gables are perfect accents to add to your home exterior facade if you don\u2019t want to go all-in with a wooden facade. It adds a level of comfort, depth, and a natural home feeling when looked at.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. White Painted Brick<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span> timeless trend, and an indicator of a classic, palatial home. No matter how new your home is, white-painted bricks can add character, and a sense of luxury no other material or color can bring in.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Red Brick Exterior<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

Rustic, and a traditional exterior facade, it has been used for centuries. It\u2019s naturally fire-resistant, battles any weather, and is pretty easy to maintain. It can be installed easily.

You can get red bricks in different shapes, finishes, and forms, and incorporate them in any design style you\u2019re going with.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. English Cottage<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

These are exterior styles and facades you see in quintessential, cozy cottages in the English countryside. They mostly have a combination of stone, wood, brick, Pickett fences, dormers, and thatched roofs, and even when you completely customize them to infuse your tastes and preferences, they\u2019ll still look impeccable just like the cottages of yore.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. All-Stone Exterior<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

You can select one or a few areas to install an all-stone exterior. Stone is one of the most expensive facade options, like granite, or limestone \u2013 you can either choose to go big and make it look luxurious, or go for less expensive options like faux stone, or stone veneer options. If you go for natural stones, you can rest assured they\u2019ll be super durable, and weather, and fire-resistant. It has several decades of lifespan, and no damage can be done to fading caused by UV rays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Faux Stone Exterior<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

Faux stone is made of PPC, and materials that are soft and lightweight, but super-strong. They can be painted in any colors you want, any finish or texture you want. They bear the brunt of the climate, rain or shine. You can install them easily if you want to go for a DIY project or get a handyman to help out. The faux stone is a much cheaper option than real stone. The added benefit is it\u2019s affordable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Aluminum Composite Panels<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

Aluminum composite panels are also called Alupanel, Dibond, and Alubond, by the build community. It\u2019s a sandwich panel with three layers \u2013 a core layer of polythene, and black plastic material surrounded by two aluminum outer layers. It\u2019s weather, wind, and temperature resistant. It doesn\u2019t shrink or expand and is strong and durable. You can use it for interiors and exteriors and is lightweight. The material is easy to maintain, install, and color. You can either spray paint or paint on it with a roller brush. The material will stay fit the entire time you use it in the exterior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Fiber Reinforced Concrete<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Home<\/span><\/p>\n

Concrete is weak in tension, and if we don\u2019t have any reinforcement in the concrete, it can\u2019t be good because it can cause cracks. The concrete won\u2019t crack if it\u2019s held by these fibers. These fibers don\u2019t stop cracks from forming, but they keep the crack small and increase the strength of the concrete. It has a long life, and immense strength to hold up if the weather turns fierce. The material reduces damage in a fire and prevents corrosion over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
