5 Luxury exterior decorating trends for 2025
When people walk up your driveway and first lay eyes on your home, it sets the scene for their journey through the rest of the property. Done right, an exterior can create interest and leave people dying to know what’s inside.
While clean whites and classic exposed brickwork are tried and true exterior finishes, more and more people are looking to experiment and create an intriguing exterior that does the rest of the home justice.
To help inspire you, we’ve picked out five luxury exterior trends that are set to take 2025 by storm and leave a lasting impression on occupants, visitors, and just about anybody who happens to pass by!
1. Earthy and nature-inspired colours
Homeowners are increasingly gravitating towards earthy colour palettes for their home’s exteriors. These colours, such as olive greens, warm taupes, and muted browns bring a sophisticated yet nature-inspired look to the exterior of any home.
Paired with raw stonework or darker accents, these gorgeous tones can create a classy yet rustic vibe, harmonizing with nature even in urban properties.
2. Sustainable and eco-friendly materials
Sustainability continues to be a driving force behind design choices. From electric cars to solar panels, homeowners are increasingly looking to integrate eco-friendliness into their daily lives, and this extends to exterior design, too.
Reclaimed wood, recycled metal, and energy-efficient cladding are all the range, but why not go further…. Green roofs and living walls can look jaw dropping and add a wholly unique edge to modern luxury homes.
3. Bold front door colours
Bold front door colours have started gaining traction in recent years and look well set to continue their surge in 2025. Door colours are a great way to express individuality without completely changing the exterior of a house.
Bold tones will create a great focal point, and this can be developed further with plants, flowers, lighting, or subtle decorative metalwork.
Vibrant hues such as deep reds, royal blues, and rich yellows are the most popular choices, but anything that contrasts with the surrounding colours is a winner. For example, you might opt for dark emerald green with gold accents against a bone-coloured exterior.
4. Integration of natural stone accents
While man-made cladding and processed stonework can create a clean exterior look, nothing beats natural stone for adding texture and depth to exteriors.
Whether it’s through cladding, pathways, or garden features, materials like slate, limestone, and granite offer both durability and timeless aesthetic appeal.
5. Dark and moody hues
In stark contrast to the de facto choice of light colours as the primary exterior colour, deep hues like charcoal, navy, and even black are making a splash in luxury exterior design. When these hues are contrasted with plants and warm lighting they can dramatically enhance the presence of a property, creating a striking visual effect that leaves onlookers wishing they could peek inside.
