The Fun Factory comes to Patriots Park July 19 Certain homes have an undeniable wow fac- tor. That instant appeal tends to be noticeable the moment visitors pull up to the curb, and it might be a byproduct of homeowners' willingness to embrace the latest ex- terior design trends. Trends come and go, but recognition of the current fashions can help homeowners create that highly sought-after wow factor. The following are some recent trends in home exteriors that have helped homeowners set their properties apart. Wood Natural wood has un- deniable appeal, and it hasn't only found new- found devotion among home interior decorators.

But home- owners can add charac- ter to brick with a coat of paint, which has become a popular trend in recent years. Light tones tend to be most popular when painting bricks. The ex- perts at Better Homes & Gardens note that this could prove a long-term commitment if homeown- ers so desire, as a prop- erly painted brick exterior could last as long as 20 years. Hardscaping Hardscaping isn't a new trend, but it has been trending in recent years. Hardscaping is an umbrella term that includes everything from outdoor living rooms to incorporating natural stone into a landscape. Outdoor living rooms are one hardscaping trend that has become increasingly popular of late. These spaces serve as an extension of in- door living spaces. The home improvement ex- perts at HGTV note that recently homeowners have looked to create covered outdoor rooms that can be enjoyed more frequently than patios or decks that are not pro- tected from the elements. Outdoor lighting It makes sense that individuals looking to spend more time enjoying their properties outdoors would want more lighting outside. Ambient outdoor lighting can be utilized throughout a property. Such lighting can light up walkways and driveways and be used to light up landscaping features like trees and gardens. Home design trends tend to be fickle. But rec- ognition of the current trends in exterior home design can set homes apart and turn properties into awe-inspiring places to enjoy the great out- doors.
