Are you looking for a way to make the exterior of your home look more modern?
This can feel like a somewhat daunting task, especially if you are on a pretty tight budget. Luckily, even in 2025, there are many options you can look into that will help you update the exterior of your home without breaking the bank and here, those options will be explored. So, read on and enjoy!
Glass Fencing
Glass fencing may seem like a bad idea, but whether it is tempered glass to set boundaries around your patio or tempered glass pool fencing to outline your pool, this is a smart investment that will give your home a great look.
It is also an ideal addition if you want to create boundaries around your garden for plants and play areas, without obscuring the field of vision. So, if you have young children and an exterior smart camera, you will be able to watch what they are doing from inside your home, without having to peek over fencing.
Water Features
Water features don’t have to be large and gothic in their design to look great.
Many modern water features have a simplistic design, which can turn your outdoor space into a post-modern vision. You may have concerns about needing to lay cables and have an external electricity source. However, over the last five years, many water features have moved towards solar paneling as their energy source, meaning all you need is a bright spot!
Smart Cameras
Smart cameras were mentioned earlier, and in 2025, these can set your exterior apart from all the others.
Smart cameras, such as the Ring Doorbell, allow you to keep your home secure, while also giving a futuristic, modern vibe, even if they are placed on a home that may have a somewhat dated feel. Best of all, you can have multiple smart cameras set up around your property, which will alert you when there is movement.
Eco-Friendly Materials
Speaking of homes with a dated feel, it can be hard to picture the best way to incorporate eco-friendly materials into them without a complete redesign.
There is an easy solution! You can opt for eco-efficient or triple-glazed doors and windows, which will keep the heat in and give your home a modern look. You can also opt for replacing segments of the exterior of your home (or veneering them) with eco-friendly wood, which can bring a modern look to a traditional home feature. Think mock Tudor exterior style made with eco-based woods, and you will kind of get the idea!
Grey Paint
Speaking of your home exterior and changing the larger parts, there has been a recent trend towards painting your home’s exterior walls grey. This has been found to add a modern vibe, and when paired with dark doors and window frames, it can turn even the most dated property into something truly contemporary. Best of all, you can do this yourself, just make sure you have a suitable exterior paint in grey!
