What You’ll Receive
Each style guide is a professionally designed PDF document packed with actionable design direction. Here’s a page-by-page breakdown of what’s inside.
Style Overview & Mood Board
A visual introduction to the style — its defining characteristics, the mood it creates, and how it translates to exterior design. Think of it as the creative brief for your project.
Exterior Color Palettes
Multiple curated color schemes with exact paint brand names, color codes, and application guidance — which colors for body, trim, accents, shutters, and front door. Includes undertone analysis so colors work in different lighting.
Materials & Finishes
Recommended siding, stone, brick, roofing, and hardware materials with specific product names, finishes, and where to source them. Each material is chosen to be authentic to the style.
Shoppable Product Picks
A curated collection of exterior accessories — lighting, planters, house numbers, mailboxes, door hardware, and landscaping elements. Every item includes a clickable link so you can purchase directly.
Real-World Inspiration Gallery
A collection of professionally photographed homes showcasing the style in action. See how the colors, materials, and details come together on real exteriors to help you visualize the end result.
Professional Design Direction for a Fraction of the Cost
Hiring a designer for your full exterior can cost thousands. Our style guides give you the same caliber of design thinking — curated by the same team that’s designed over 15,000 homes — distilled into an actionable PDF you can use immediately.
Think of it as a cheat sheet for your exterior project. Instead of spending hours scrolling Pinterest or second-guessing paint swatches at the store, you get a cohesive plan with specific colors, materials, and products that are designed to work together.
