Here are some tips to create a traditional and classic home front design:
1. Start with a classic color scheme: Use colors like whites, tans, and greys for the main surfaces of the exterior. Trim and accents can be black or a deep navy blue.
2. Incorporate classic residential features: Adding shutters, a front porch, a gabled roof, and traditional molding can all contribute to a classic look.
3. Use classic materials: Brick, wood cladding, and stone are all classic materials used in traditional homes. Consider adding a brick or stone walkway leading up to the entrance.
4. Add symmetry: Symmetry is a hallmark of traditional design. Place outdoor lights, shutters, and windows symmetrically for a balanced look.
5. Landscaping: Landscaping can also play a big role in creating a traditional home front. Consider adding a manicured lawn, perfectly trimmed hedges, and classic shrubs such as boxwoods.
6. Use classic lighting fixtures: Traditional outdoor lighting fixtures such as lanterns or sconces can add a classic touch to the home design.
7. Create a welcoming entrance: Add a warm welcome mat, potted plants or fresh flowers to the front stoop to make visitors feel at home.
