When those winter winds start to blow, it's a sure sign that the time for outdoor projects is quickly coming to a close. Depending on where you live, it will soon be uncomfortable or even impossible to head outside and get to work on your exterior home design ideas. Not to mention that the upcoming holidays are the perfect opportunity to show off your efforts to friends and family. Take advantage of this exterior design inspiration to seize the moment and get your projects done before the seasons change.
Freshen Up Your Home's Facade
The facade is the first thing people see when they approach your house, so it should leave a lasting—and positive—impression. Before the temperatures drop too low, take the time to revamp your home's overall appearance with one of the most important home exterior ideas: updating your siding.
Installing new exterior siding is one of the most popular exterior design projects because it gives the structure a completely new look. Barron Designs offers options like faux brick, stone, and wood so you can achieve any aesthetic. Whether you're hoping to replicate the look of a cozy cabin with faux wood or recreate a charming cottage with faux cobblestone siding, this update will overhaul the feel and style of your home.

Add Personality to Your Home Entry
Upgrading your front door is one of the biggest exterior home design trends of the year, and it's easy to see why. When neighbors, guests, and loved ones come by to visit around the holidays, even a few small changes to your front door are enough to make an impact. For example, consider repainting your door in a new shade, and don't be afraid to take chances with a pop of bright color.
To really wow your visitors, consider framing your doorway with faux stone panels to create the perfect canvas for your favorite holiday wreath. Finally, to achieve the ultimate dramatic effect, consider adding a faux wood arched beam to your gables.

Exterior home design upgrades are also an excellent option for your patio or porch, where you can choose to make minor or major adjustments. For instance, you might opt to make a structural change like installing real or faux wood beams. They'll look great all year long, and they'll serve as the perfect place to hang your holiday lights and other decorations.
A more subtle but equally effective option for these outdoor gathering spaces is placing faux column wraps on posts. Barron Designs offers wraps in a wide range of colors and designs, so you can choose the style that best complements the exterior walls, roof, and floors of your porch or patio.
