Hot Home Trend: Darker Home Exteriors

The modern home is embracing a bold new look: darker exteriors. While neighborhoods are filled with homes in traditional white, light gray, and beige tones, a growing trend is emerging with properties showcasing a deeper, more dramatic side. Black, chocolate brown, and deep slate are offering a striking contrast and setting these homes apart from the rest.



The black house, in particular, has become synonymous with modern design. Whether used to create a powerful statement or as an accent on trim, door frames, or siding, black has made its mark in the exterior design world.


Designers also note the influence of Scandinavian style, which has been trending in home design for the past few years. This darker approach aligns with the clean, minimalistic aesthetic often seen in Scandinavian architecture.



But it's not just black that’s making waves. Darker blues and even forest green have become increasingly popular choices for home exteriors. No matter which shade is chosen, these dark tones are often paired with white trim to provide balance, helping to brighten the overall appearance.


As darker exteriors continue to gain momentum, it’s clear that modern homes are leaning into bold, sophisticated colors to make a lasting impression.
