New Home Design Trends

What Exterior Styles are Most Important to Homebuyers?

A Move Towards Simplicity

According to the home design trends survey for 2011 from the American Institute of Architects, new home exterior styles show design trends of simplicity, with an emphasis on:

• Fewer upscale elements on the exterior of the home

• Increasing interest in front and side porches (although growth in popularity has slowed compared to 2010)
• More single-story homes, with accessibility in mind
• Continued interest in contemporary homes - click here to see an example

Here is a chart of these exterior style trends, as surveyed by The American Institute of Architects (AIA).

*% respondents reporting popularity of room "increasing" minus % reporting "decreasing"
