1. Front yard

The parking area of this home is simply stunning, the white tiles are an excellent choice for a clean, striking design and the wooden gate with stone walls has an eye-catching effect too.

2. Garden entrance

Make your entrance inviting with a beautiful garden, opt for colourful, pleasantly scented blooms and greenery as well as a pathway to keep foot traffic at bay.

3. No fence

Allow your home to feel fresh and airy without a fence. Include a low hedge instead, and your home will exude elegance.

4. Wooden front door

Opt for wooden shutters and create an exciting entrance.

5. Some steel

The steel gate adds a contemporary element to this simple exterior, while the fence ensures that your family and possessions are safe and secure.

6. Ultra-modern

The walls are covered in textured light grey tiles adding a different, yet dynamic design, while the large wooden door is unmistakably modern. The bright purple pillar is a chic and quirky feature, great for homeowners who dare to be unique.

7. Minimalist elements

Choose sophisticated modern design, along with grey flooring, black walls and a petite lawn to enhance a minimalist decor. 

8. Friendly foliage

How about a bright pink house with plenty of greenery for shade and charm? It's definitely expired by the tropics.

9. From the cottage

A pretty path leads the way to the entrance of the cottage, while creepers add an authentic detail to the nature-loving exterior. 

10. Expressionist

The home featured here has an artsy appearance, with a wooden roof and concrete floor incorporating an uncomplicated design.
