How to choose exterior decor for a classic home
The facade of a home is more than just an exterior shell — it’s a statement. It reflects the homeowner’s taste, the architectural style, and even the property’s value. In 2025, we see a strong shift toward facades that combine timeless elegance with modern efficiency. Homeowners are no longer choosing between beauty and practicality — they expect both.
Here are the five top facade trends shaping 2025, from architectural classics to innovative design solutions.
Modern homeowners are increasingly drawn to minimalist facades. Inspired by contemporary European design, this trend favors clean geometry over heavy ornamentation. Large windows, flat walls, and subtle accents create a sleek, uncluttered look.
- Trend: Straight lines, sharp proportions, and smooth surfaces.
For homeowners:
Add subtle architectural details — slim cornices or window trims — to maintain elegance without breaking the minimalist flow.
While minimalism dominates, there’s also a clear comeback of neoclassical architecture. Inspired by grand European estates and colonial American homes, more homeowners want columns, decorative cornices, and arched windows. With lightweight pre-assembled elements, achieving this style is now much easier and faster.
- Trend: Columns, arches, and symmetry return.

A single-tone facade is out. In 2025, depth and contrast are in. Designers are mixing smooth stucco with rough stone, wood-like beams, or textured decorative panels. This creates visual richness and individuality.
