Adventurous selections aren’t just reserved for the inside of homes. Homebuyers are embracing bold and black accents on the outside of their homes, welcoming black cladding in both masonry and siding materials. It’s a bold move for sure, but black exteriors are gaining popularity, especially in our Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee markets.

Your exterior design sets the tone for the rest of your home. For a mid-century modern look, go with clean lines and a contrast-rich, contemporary color palette. If rustic is more your vibe, select natural elements like stone and cedar accents.  

Utilize natural cedar or stained wood accents to bring warmth to your exterior. Exterior colors are warming up; the bright whites of years past are mellowing out with a creamier tone. And, green is in! In fact, as Drees Architecture Designer Paige Foss says, green is the new neutral. Incorporating this color into the exterior of the home is becoming more and more popular.
