Across Austin and the Hill Country, homeowners are embracing a bold new wave of exterior design—moving beyond traditional looks in favor of warmer palettes, natural textures, and mixed materials that blend beautifully with Central Texas landscapes. The modern farmhouse look—with dark roofs, white siding, and black trim—has dominated for years, but that aesthetic is quickly giving way to something new.
Homeowners are now leaning toward warmer, more organic combinations: light-colored roofing, brown or tan fascia and soffits, and more architectural complexity with angled rooflines and mixed siding profiles. This trend moves away from high-contrast extremes and toward a softer, more elevated palette that feels grounded in the natural Texas landscape. Expect to see more earthy tones, subtle textures, and siding styles that combine vertical and horizontal elements.
Alongside these siding changes, we’re seeing a shift in landscaping philosophy as well. Gone are the days of manicured lawns and uniform shrubs. Today’s homeowners are embracing 'messy' landscaping—native grasses, decomposed granite paths, and layered textures that not only suit the Texas climate but also add a sense of casual, curated elegance to the home’s exterior.
These shifts aren’t just aesthetic—they’re functional too. More homeowners are focused on durability, energy efficiency, and long-term value, especially as Texas weather grows more extreme. That’s why window and door upgrades are also playing a major role in exterior transformations. From color-matched trims to energy-efficient glass, today’s selections aren’t just practical—they’re central to your home’s curb appeal.
