5 Facades Design Ideas You Need To See

They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but let’s be honest, no one ever bothers to inspect a home with a sorry-looking house facade.

Facades help to give your home a special feature that makes it stand out from the other houses in the neighborhood. For larger homes, a stunning façade is easy to design as there’s no restriction on space for creating a grand or imposing look. However, for smaller homes, it takes innovative design to come up with exceptional facades that are memorable.

With that said, there are a ton of great ideas around the world on how to spruce up the exteriors of your home. To get the home you envision, however, you often need to bring together the better of the two world of house facades — beauty and function. The good news is that facades, regardless of the material make, can have functional elements as well as decorative.
