We spend a lot of time indoors during the cold, dark winter months but don’t forget about your home’s exterior. Once the days get longer, and you want to spend more time outside, you’ll need the exterior of your home to be up to date and look its best.

Let’s take a look at the biggest exterior home trends for 2023.

Dark Colors

2023 is going to be a moody year full of drama – well, for home décor anyway. Dark, rich colors are replacing the bright whites and grays that you probably have in your home.

To take this trend outside, replace your siding with a dark blue, forest green, or slate gray siding. The bold-colored siding is an easy and effective way to transform your home and make it look more modern.

If your home doesn’t have siding, you can still get in on this trend. You can install a dark, dramatic front door. A black front door works with just about any style or color palette and instantly makes your home stand out. To make your entryway even more dramatic, install an oversized light feature.    

Use Texture to Add Character

Adding texture and contrast to your home’s exterior is a must-do. Home design trends in 2023 are all about making a space look interesting. Mixing materials or colors that you wouldn’t think work together is very “in” for 2023.

Using wood or stone to add texture to your home is a great way to combine two of this year’s top trends: texture and earth tones. Adding something as simple as decorative wood columns to your front porch will add character to your home’s exterior.

Another way to add texture is installing an overhang if your home does not have a front porch. This will give you a little bit of covered space to sit and watch the kids play and will add curb appeal to your home. Better yet, add a front porch! Front porches are warm and inviting and add so much charm to a home.

Space for Entertaining

Trust us, you need to have an outdoor entertainment space. Even if you don’t entertain often, having an outdoor living space where you can relax and unwind will be a complete game changer for your home. 

Having a nice patio or deck is just the start for your outdoor entertainment space. This area should include a seating area, outdoor kitchen or built-in grill, and maybe a tv if you like watching sports or movies under the stars. You could also include a water feature for some tranquility or a fire feature for romance.
