 Expressing a little personality through your home’s design is important, after all, it’s the one place in the world that’s special and unique to you. The façade is no exception, in fact, it may be more important to add a little flair to your façade’s design because as they say, first impressions count, and the façade is the snap shot of your home that you present to the world.

 Just because a home is small doesn’t mean it has to be simple or plain, there are a huge variety of styles and designs that will allow your small home to make a big impact!

 With this in mind, we’ve put together a list of twenty small homes with outstanding façades to help inspire your next renovation.

1. Pretty and private

 This dynamic façade of white walls and stone pillars is appealing to the eye without revealing anything of the home’s interior.

2. Modern and imposing

The materials, colours and architectural elements at the entrance of this house are aesthetically rich, and simultaneously imposing and attractive.

3. An array of shapes and textures

 Intersecting geometric shapes of different textures bring this striking façade to life.

4. A façade with depth

 The different materials contrasting against the white walls in the background highlight the differences in shape and height, and give this dynamic structure depth.

5. Simple but elegant

 This small townhouse uses a simple and elegant design to great effect; white contrasts the wood of the door, with the tiled roof overhead adding character.

6. A strong look

 The barred gate at this home’s entrance could make the structure intimidating, but the orange tones behind add colour and personality making a less formidable yet equally interesting abode.

7. Adapting to the terrain

 This creative modern design makes use of the small amount of available space in an astonishing feat of ingenuity.

8. Open Garden

10. Symmetry

 This Spanish home has oodles of appeal thanks to the pool and the charming pergola that extend from the front of the home.

17. Standing out

 This home really stands out – literally, in that the home’s entrance extends from the rest of the structure giving it an unusual, artistic shape.

18. The floating façade

 The upper section of this project is designed in such a way so as to extended outwards, which creates the illusion of floating block.

19. The brick façade

 You can’t go wrong with a simple red brick façade. This design combines red brick with a small L-shaped pool that outlines the structure, as well as a balcony overlooking it to create a spectacular little home.
