When it comes to interior design, the inside of the house is usually the main focus, so make sure it’s current and represents your style. However, if all of your attention is on measuring up rugs or designing the ideal kitchen design, you’re neglecting one of the most important and significant aspects of your house, which is the exterior design trends.
While concentrating on the outside may seem intimidating, there are many minor and large ways to ensure that your home’s exterior is stunning and has a lot of curb appeal. We spoke with a few professionals in Cubes Construction and Archi Cubes to get their thoughts on the outdoor home trends that most excited them this year, in hopes of inspiring you.
Find out the best exterior design trends for your home to enhance the beauty of your house with cubes construction.
1. Blending the Outdoors With the Indoors
It’s obvious why combining indoor and outdoor areas is unquestionably the hottest trend. It not only complements the current interior design trend (biophilic vibes that foster a sense of connection with nature) but also gives homeowners the impression that their home is larger and that the outside space is an extension of the interior, which is a very useful feeling given that new homes are typically smaller.
2. Outdoor Kitchens and Other Entertainment Spaces
Adding facilities that are comparable to those found indoors is another popular trend in outdoor home design. You may be sure that your guests won’t even need to (or want to!) go inside with these extra features.
Designers and companies have embraced this trend, outfitting outdoor kitchens with opulent features like full-size refrigerators and induction stovetops, as well as extravagant fire pits and comfortable outdoor furniture. If you own the property, a lot of exterior home designers have even started to gravitate toward creating specific outdoor spaces for dining, lounging, and cooking—sometimes even dividing them with walls or obstacles. Basically, everything that contributes to the outdoor area feeling like the main place to entertain is welcome.
3. Show-Stopping Lighting
Any outdoor space needs outdoor lighting as a necessary ornamental and safety feature, but modern home design trends advise you to consider options beyond basic lighting that is mounted on your house’s side. The big outdoors is a perfect area to add ornamental lighting, such as chandeliers or hanging lights with interesting lampshades and colorful bulbs, much like inside your house.
4. Luxurious Furniture
There are various methods to improve your outdoor décor and hardscaping, but it usually involves choosing more opulent outdoor furniture, upscale outdoor cooking appliances, and climate-appropriate premium materials so they can last for many years.
5. A Focus on Sustainability
The use of sustainable materials has become more popular inside homes in recent years, and it is now proving to be a lasting trend for outdoor areas as well. More and more homeowners are demanding exterior materials that prioritize sustainability. Several studies have demonstrated that buyers who seek sustainable materials are prepared to pay a premium for them and are becoming more aware of the consequences of global warming. Businesses and builders of homes are responding to the call.
6. Vintage Elements
Although fashion fads always resurface, comforting, vintage accents have been increasingly popular this year, displacing colder, more contemporary ones. Additionally, we see this reflected in exterior details, even if it is somewhat more evident within homes.
Our favorite ways to recreate a vintage exterior feel are with materials that were popular decades ago but given a modern twist, such as wood-like accents, wrought iron fences, and outdoor décor pieces.
7. Warm and Bold Colors
Warm hues are another trend that is making a comeback. Although black and white exteriors will always be trendy, more and more homeowners are choosing to combine warm metal elements like gold and brass with warmer, off-white tones, browns, and tans.
Additionally, homeowners are adopting some warm and strong colors in highlights like door colors and trim, even if it’s still uncommon to see a home exterior entirely painted in vibrant hues like red, pink, or orange.
8. Texture
Texture is becoming more and more popular for home exteriors, and designers are seeing it paired with some trends like warmer tones and stronger accents. There are several methods to accomplish this, but our favorite is by incorporating organic elements like stone. This is seen on pillars, house siding, hardscaping in backyards, and other structural components.
Although you might believe that only a specific kind of house can “pull off” textural elements like stone accents, designers reassure us that’s not always the case.
