We have more facade options of this design:

White Exterior Paint

Someone clearly got tired of blending in and decided this house needed to shine! The façade, once perhaps a subtle hue, now beams in cheerful white, brightening everything around it.

The crisp new color makes the warm wood door and lush greenery pop like a well-plated dessert at a fancy restaurant.

That fresh white coat also turns the vertical siding into a fashion statement, accentuating the tidy lines all the way to the sweet little gable vent. Every flower box, climbing vine, and wooden bench now stands out with extra charm, like accessories against a blank canvas—seriously, sunglasses might be necessary.

Black Exterior Color

Someone got adventurous and took the plunge—the house facade now wears a snazzy black coat! Goodbye, vanilla; hello, bold sophistication.

The dark hue instantly turns this cozy cottage into a woodland showstopper, making the warm wood door and matching deck pop like caramel drizzle on chocolate. It’s practically an Instagram filter for your house—instantly dramatic, effortlessly stylish.

With the black siding soaking up the sun, every detail feels intentional—from the crisp window trim to the friendly flower box bursting with color.

The contrast is sharper than your neighbor’s lawnmower at 8 a.m., drawing the eye to the greenery and floral chaos below. This little home just made “moody modern” its middle name.

Yellow Exterior Paint

Hold onto your sunglasses—the house facade just got a zesty makeover! The once-muted siding has been swapped for a blazing coat of yellow, instantly making the home look like the happiest sunflower on the block.

Now, every time you walk up, you’re greeted not just by flowers in the planters, but by a whole wall shouting “good morning!” Even the climbing vines seem to climb a little faster, probably hoping to bask in that sunny energy.

That cheerful yellow turns the simple architecture into a lively statement. It contrasts beautifully with the natural wood door and porch, giving off farm-fresh lemonade stand vibes.

Don’t be surprised if neighbors start wearing sunglasses just to check their mail—this facade is all about bold charm and curb appeal that can’t help but make you smile.

Lavender Exterior Color

Someone decided to give this cozy cottage a lavender makeover! The formerly classic exterior now sports a bold, whimsical shade of purple, instantly transforming the vibe from earthy retreat to a house that’s practically winking at you.

With this punchy color, even the surrounding garden looks like it’s trying to keep up in the beauty contest.

The lavender facade makes every feature pop: from the crisp white-framed windows showing off their flower box flair, to the honey-toned wooden door that suddenly looks extra inviting. Lavender really brings out the flower child in the architecture—and if the house had cheeks, they’d be blushing!

Red Exterior Paint

Someone clearly dialed the charm meter to “fire engine” and painted the whole house a brilliant red! The once-muted exterior now pulses with barnyard boldness that catches the eye faster than a squirrel spots free birdseed.

This fresh crimson hue makes the trim and wooden door pop even more, like frosting on a cupcake—if cupcakes were rectangular and came with their own flower box.

With the new color, the garden’s pinks, purples, and greens jump out like wild party guests, basking in the house’s cheerful glow.

Everything feels a tad more playful, like the facade is winking and saying, “Welcome! But wipe your feet—I just got a new coat.”

Vertical Timber Slat Siding

Gone is the bland old clapboard—now the house stars vertical timber slats strutting down the facade like they mean business.

The new siding oozes woodland charm, making the place look taller and ready to model for a Scandinavian cabin magazine. It’s the architectural equivalent of standing up straighter.

Between the lines of timber, gentle knots and textures pop out, giving the house a warm, “hug me, I’m nature” vibe. The revamped siding harmonizes with the wood-framed door and window, creating a look so cozy that squirrels might apply for a mortgage.
