Entry doors, siding and windows are the three focal points of your home’s exterior. So, if you’re considering remodeling your home after a particular design trend, you should start with these three.

Preliminary Inspection

You could also customize some of the mainstream trends according to your needs. The only problem with doing so is the modified elements might not complement each other, creating an unfocused theme. Not to mention trying to find the right combination takes a lot of time.

But there’s no need to worry because Exterior Building Solutions, your go-to firm for windows, created some ready-to-use themes for you.

Beachside Sea Breeze (Seafoam Green Siding and White Windows and Panels)

Seafoam green is a classic color for beachside homes, but it’s also an excellent color for siding set against a backdrop filled with lush green vegetation.

Double hung windows add a familiar homey feel; you wouldn’t want your home to feel too much like a beach house or a forest cottage you only visit during holidays. We suggest using the Pella® 250 Series for this theme due to its higher-quality look over your run-of-the-mill vinyl window frame.



Add a few wooden doors to complete the theme. If your home’s in a humid environment, we recommend a fiberglass window. But if you want the durability of fiberglass and the aesthetic appeal of wood, you can opt for Pella Architect Fiberglass Door Series, which has the authentic appearance of wood.

Stony Forest (Iron Gray Siding, Arctic White Windows and Black Wooden Doors)

This theme’s color scheme is best suited for homes surrounded by trees. Iron gray siding and white single-hung windows give your home a relaxed cottage-like feel.

For homes in cold areas, we suggest the Pella 350 Series, which offers exceptional energy efficiency along with a clean, minimal look. Add mahogany doors, which Pella also offers, to complete that earthy look.
