It’s mid-century modern. What year was it built? I’m a big fan of keeping and reviving the wood siding. Congrats. It’s a beautiful home. I’d love to see more photos. More on reddit.com

How should I restore this mid-century (built in 1950) exterior?
I’d take my cues from the stone — I see some salmon-ish tones there. I wouldn’t go with natural wood as others suggest, because it doesn’t seem in keeping with exteriors of that era. Also, I would un-mimic that door to the garage. It’s confusing. More on reddit.com

Maybe study colors that are not shades of white/gray/black? Play with some earthtones, gray greens or gray blues, etc... maybe even yellows or oranges.

March 30, 2023 -

Hello all,

I just purchased my first home and I’m a bit confused what style it is. We have had people tell us it is mid century modern, as well as a ranch style home. However, it certainly doesn’t fit the stereotypical mid-century modern house I find online. Curious if anyone has any ideas. Thanks so much. (Picture in comments, sorry i’m bad at this 🤦🏻‍♀️).

It might sound crazy to buy art for the outside of your house, but it’s such an easy way to add sophisticated depth to an otherwise flat face. All of the following pieces would benefit from a quick exterior clear coat spray down before you hang it up outside.

January 21, 2025 - We think neutral tones will always remain staples of exterior design, including mid-century modern exteriors. Some of our favorite go-to neutral shades, like Accessible Beige by Sherwin-Williams® and Benjamin Moore’s Glacier White (seen in the rendering above), provide clean, understated elegance. Furthermore, these colors act as a blank canvas, allowing the linear lines of mid-century architecture to shine. Use neutrals as the central hue and pair with darker accent colors to emphasize your home’s features.
