Your Guide To Residential Home Styles

If this is your year for a brand new home, get some inspiration by checking out some home styles we thought were pretty neat. There's something for everyone. Read below to find out which residential home style is the perfect fit for you!


Contemporary
The Contemporary look is for you if you desire mixed wall materials, tall windows and mixed roof lines. Exposed beams and inner brick walls are popular here, too.

Tudor
The Tudor style home is reminiscent of a storybook home you might read about. Prominent stone chimneys, bay windows and steeply pitched cross gables are a telltale sign it's a Tudor.

Georgian
The Georgian style home may remind you of a more historic time, and that's for good reason. This style is compiled of architecture seen in English Colonial homes of the 1700s.

French Provincial
The French Provincial's number one rule is symmetry. A high hip roof, balcony and porch balustrades, rectangular shapes and double windows with shutters are typical for this style.
