Your home’s exterior is more than just what people see—it’s an extension of who you are. It’s the first thing that greets you every day and sets the tone for your entire property. As 2025 approaches, we want to provide homeowners with some trends we are seeing. As an industry-leading home remodeling company, Unified is able to see firsthand what trends, colors, and designs homeowners and manufacturers are choosing. Homeowners in 2025 are predicted to move away from generic designs and are leaning toward ideas that bring personality, warmth, and purpose to their home’s exteriors.
Let’s take a closer look at the standout exterior design ideas for 2025 and see how they can bring fresh energy to your home.
Out with the Old: Saying Goodbye to Predictable Designs
The days of bright white exteriors and cookie-cutter minimalism are officially behind us. In 2025, homeowners are turning to warmer, more personal designs that add depth and character to their homes. Moving away from all-white exteriors doesn’t mean giving up clean minimalisms—it’s more about adding depth and character. Think rich, earthy tones like olive green, soft browns, or deep grays.
These colors feel warm and inviting, and they work beautifully with the natural surroundings, giving your home a look that’s both grounded and full of personality. Think warm whites with a touch of cream or beige for subtle depth, paired with textured siding or wood accents for extra charm.
Our Favorite Manufacturer Picks:
- Doors: HMI, Homeguard, Provia & Andersen Doors are the top brands to choose from for doors. They are a great way to create a welcoming entry with soft, warm tones like beige or light gray. They’re stylish, durable, and just the right amount of cozy.
- Windows: Andersen Fibrex® Windows offer neutral finishes like Canvas or Terratone® that keep your home looking clean while adding a hint of warmth.

Why settle for just one material when you can have the best of several? In 2025, homeowners are combining textures and finishes to create exteriors with depth and personality. Mixing materials like wood, stone, metal, and fiber cement siding can turn even the simplest home into a true standout.

Big, beautiful windows and sliding doors are taking center stage in 2025, and it’s easy to see why. There is a growing trend among homeowners to bring in more natural light, utilize outdoor views, and blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. It’s a trend that feels as functional as it is beautiful.

Your front door is the ultimate statement piece, and in 2025, bold colors are stealing the spotlight. A vibrant front door can set the tone for your home, adding a pop of personality and instantly boosting curb appeal.
Think deep reds, cheerful yellows, or even a bright teal to create a memorable entrance.
