As you plan your dream house, the exterior should be something that you should also plan out carefully. After all, it is the exterior that would give people an idea of what they might expect inside your home.
Would you like a modern-looking façade to complement the contemporary design of your home or something traditional with stones and a more natural look? There are actually a lot of building materials that you can use these days to create impressive exteriors, including glass, stone, architectural panels, wood, bricks, and many others.
Of course, it’s easy to mix and match the materials for your façade to create a unique exterior that would add curb appeal to your home.
Some homeowners want their homes to have a well-planned out exterior that makes use of just one or two types of materials so the house wouldn’t seem so ‘loud’. But others love to use different options for a more interesting look.
One good idea to create a lovely façade without making the house look boring is that you decorate different portions of the home with various materials. For instance, the lower part of the house could have an exterior made of granite or cobblestones in natural color while the upper floors could be decorated in glass or wood.
A lot of modern homes these days use a combination of architectural panels and glass, with large windows that open to stunning views. This means that you can have a contemporary house design even if you’re living away from the city.
Several homes also use steel structures for the façade while others use architectural panels painted in faux wood print.
Landscape around your home add curb appeal – and you can add modern pieces like metal or stone sculptures along with the greenery for a more interesting abode. Greens soften the modern look for a homey atmosphere even with the contemporary design.
