These days, outdoor home design is just as important as indoor home design.  We’ve come up with a list of 12 Exterior Custom Home Trends we wanted to share with you:

1. Outdoor Kitchens- Outdoor kitchens are fun, enjoyable, and relaxing. Cooking outdoors keeps the heat outside, which can reduce your utility bills.
2. Outdoor Living Area(s)- Relaxing in your outdoor living area is a great way to unwind after work or on the weekends. You can add couches and a table, a bar area, a sports spot to watch games, a garden dining setting, or a poolside paradise.  There are many options to choose from, depending on your lifestyle.
3. Outdoor Fireplaces- Snuggle up to a cozy fire outside with family and friends.
4. Decorative Tiles- Decorative tiles on floors, walls, backsplashes, islands, bars, and more bring life to your outdoor design.
5. Swimming Pools- Design your perfect swimming pool for the size of your outdoor area. Various shapes, colors and lighting elements can be used to bring your dream swimming pool to life.  Add lounge chairs, tables, umbrellas, and outdoor speakers to take your outdoor swimming pool ambiance up notch.
6. Spas- Plan for an outdoor spa to go along with a swimming pool, or just an outdoor spa by itself to complete your outdoor design.
7. Stone and Paver Walkways- Adding stone and/or paver walkways to the outside of the home is another element of custom one-of-a-kind style that homeowners are implementing as part of their home’s design.
8. Light Color Stone Accents- Light color stone accent areas or a wall brings life and texture to your home’s exterior. These are popular on the front and back areas of today’s custom homes.
9. Neutral Colors- In 2022 you will notice more warm welcoming neutral colors such as off-white, cozy colors being used on the outside of new construction custom homes.
10. Unique Functional Lighting- The outdoor lighting industry has evolved to cater to what homeowners want. Planning to light up walkways, trees, areas of your home’s exterior, and even color changing lights in your pool are just some of the options you have for creative lighting features. Many customers are choosing to go with energy efficiently lighting options for their home.
11. Black Accents- Black is the new black when it comes to exterior home accents. Exterior black accents can drastically enhance your home’s exterior aesthetic.
12. Incorporate Wood Accents- Adding wood accents to your custom home’s design can add to its curb appeal.
