Investing in your home’s curb appeal isn’t just something to consider when you are looking to sell your home. An attractive curb appeal is beneficial for you, too. Many curb appeal trends can improve your home and help you enjoy your living space. Here are a few curb appeal trends of 2025:

1. Moody and Earth Tones Paint Colors

If you start seeing more moody grays and dark blues as exterior paint colors, don’t be surprised. Although bright colors are still popular choices, these shades are also continuing to show up on trend. This is still a bold look for a home, but with an entirely different aesthetic.

Earth tones are also having a moment. Colors like beige, brown, sage, and off-white are good options if you prefer a more earthy look. Exterior upgrades as simple as color changes are classic curb appeal ideas and can make a big difference in the appearance of your home.

2. Bright Colors on Front Doors

Entry doors have been popular areas for playing with color or adding a splash of color to your home’s exterior. Changing the color of your front door is a common front door decor idea that can make a big difference in the look and feel of your home’s exterior. Plus, there are so many options available.

It’s just a matter of choosing the best front door color for your home. A bright color on the front door is a great way to experiment with bright colors. As long as it complements the overall style of your home and helps create the atmosphere you want, you can add a bold and bright color to try it out.

3. Mixed Textures

There’s a trend of earthy and organic materials becoming more popular in siding and other architectural details. Stone, brick, wood, and metal are all starting to pop up on home exteriors. They also tend to pair well with several exterior window trim styles and colors.

Mixing these textures allows certain architectural details like porticos and gables to really shine. Stone cladding with architectural timber is another popular look. When these are used vertically, they create a board and batten look. Mixing textures together creates something new and is a stylish house siding idea to try.

4. Metal Roofing

Your roof is a critical component of your home. Not only does it protect your home from the weather but it also adds character and style. If your roof is over 20 years old and you’re noticing sagging or water damage, these are signs your roof needs to be replaced.

Metal roofing continues to grow as a popular type of roofing, especially in darker colors. Steel gray and black offer a modern look to a home. You can either use metal roofing just for a porch or awning or use it for the entire roof.

Metal roofing is extremely durable and can be energy-efficient, too. With the right care, installation, and ventilation, metal roofs can last 30 years! They can even last up to 50 years under the most ideal conditions!

5. Native Landscaping

Another popular curb appeal trend is using native plants when landscaping. Using native plants ensures they are properly adapted to the climate, meaning they should be easier to take care of. Native landscaping saves you time and energy, making native landscaping a much more economical solution.

It also increases biodiversity as it offers a habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies. Additionally, landscaping with native plants can improve your backyard and can make your front porch more inviting when you use it at the front of your house.

6. Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor living and entertainment spaces continue to be home renovation trends and curb appeal trends. It’s all about making the most of the outdoor space you have available. This could range from simple changes to improve your backyard, like improving landscaping or adding a fence.

Bigger updates to boost curb appeal could be adding an addition, installing a backyard patio, or overhauling your exterior spaces in ways to increase comfort and function. Outdoor dining areas, upgraded outdoor relaxation areas, and sunrooms are all ways to improve your backyard and are popular ways this curb appeal trend is popping up.

7. Copper Fixtures

Metal is not an unusual choice for home exterior fixtures. However, the popular interior design trend of copper is making its way outdoors. Copper is popping up on many homes’ exteriors with lighting fixtures, house numbers, and even downspouts. Not just a pretty metal, copper is a durable material known for its longevity. It’s also water and weather-resistant, making this material a smart choice for exteriors.

8. Wood Accents

Wood accents continue to rise in popularity. Paired with earthy hues, your home will achieve an attractive dimensional texture. Popular places to accent with wood are with different types of doors, like front doors, garage doors, window frames, and porch beams.

Be sure to pick weather-resistant woods if you plan to add some wood accents to your home. Certain woods like cedar, redwood, and cypress are naturally weather resistant and can hold up to different types of weather. However, your best bet is to go with vinyl or stamped concrete manufactured to look like the wood you want depending on the location and application.

Truly weather-proof and virtually maintenance-free, these vinyl or stamped concrete can give you the look of wood that you want without the maintenance headaches that often come with natural wood. Plus, there are so many ways to incorporate stamped concrete into your home beyond just patios or walkways to play around with.

9. More Glass

Exteriors featuring more glass continue to be curb appeal trends in 2025. Large picture windows, big bay windows or bow windows, window walls, and more are showing up more often in residential homes.

Additionally, window options for entry doors are becoming more common. Replacing your front door and adding side lites on the sides, a transom window above the door, glass panels within the main door itself, all of these options, or a combination of them are all ways to add more glass to your home exterior.
