There are more colour choices in this world ya’ll and as we are 8 years into this trend, if you’re painting your exterior next season, I recommend watching my exterior masterclass and choose ANYTHING but either of these two homes.

Don't Neglect this Detail when Building Your New Home!
Landscaping is a crucial part of building a new home, yet it's a detail many people overlook or forget to budget for. Thoughtful planning ensures your outdoor spaces enhance the design of your home, optimize drainage, and create functional areas that fit your lifestyle. Without a plan, you risk costly changes down the line or settling for a landscape that feels incomplete. By incorporating landscaping from the start, you’ll boost curb appeal, add privacy, and create beautiful spaces for relaxa

Should I build a black and white house?
What about the black and white trend?Brown has also been on the fringe in fashion and interior design. It’s taken 16 years for brown to come back because that’s how long it takes for a trend that got overdone (like the tuscan brown trend) to be forgotten. The same will happen with black and white. Because each trend starts out beautifully done by enough designers that everyone falls in love and starts to copy it. But then it goes very wrong as this photo on the right demonstrates (below).
