25 Stunning Home Exteriors

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and maybe that’s true… However, this same principle doesn’t really apply to homes. A house’s exterior says a lot about the people who own it, as well as about the design of the home that lies just beyond the front door.

Contrary to what some might think, truly solid interior home design begins on the exterior. You want a home that’s beautiful to look at from the road so that your guests can become even more impressed once they see the design of the inside. (Plus, that curb appeal is going to come in handy should the day ever come when you want to sell!)

On the list that follows, we’ve collected 25 stunning examples of home exteriors. From homes that feature classic styling and even those that feature a cottage like vibe, to homes that are decidedly contemporary as contemporary can get, there’s a tremendous diversity of home exteriors here.

While the looks and styles may be diverse, though, one thing is consistent: All of these home exteriors are beautifully and elegantly designed. If you want to have a home that looks great from the road, then you’ve got to see these exteriors!
