When it comes to visualising your new house, your home’s exterior is where it all begins. Your front facade design isn’t just about having street-appeal, but about ensuring that your home is a true expression of your style. 

Here at Clarendon Homes, we give you the freedom to customise your home facade design. From external paint colours to roofing, trim, the garage, and the front door, this is where you can impart your style and preferences to make your home truly unique.

1. Decide on your overall style

Start by imagining how you want your home to feel, whether that’s relaxed coastal Hamptons, clean and modern Scandinavian, contemporary chic, or a blend that’s uniquely yours. Gather inspiration wherever it finds you: browse your favourite interiors online, take a Sunday drive through new estates, flip through lifestyle magazines, or get lost in the scroll on Instagram and Pinterest. This will help determine the facade for your home. 

2. Small details, big impact

Your front door, windows, roof tiles and gutter colours might seem like small choices, but together they have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your home. These elements can bring your exterior to life and tie your design together beautifully.  

3. Keep it simple

When choosing exterior colours, simplicity is key. It’s not just about your facade, the overall look includes your landscaping, driveway and garage door, too. With too many competing elements, things can start to feel cluttered. A great approach is to stick to a maximum of three colours, keeping metal finishes consistent and using contrast thoughtfully across materials like render, brick or cladding.

4. Add depth with texture

Mixing materials like render, brick, stone or feature tiles is a simple way to add interest and personality to your facade. Thoughtfully combining textures can create contrast, highlight key features and give your home a more polished, architectural feel.
