Chances are, if you\u2019re like most people, you already know what architectural styles you like and you just need to find the perfect one. Don\u2019t be intimidated by there being so many choices out there\u2014that just means there\u2019s something that more closely matches your imagination! Since it\u2019s National Curb Appeal Month, let\u2019s discuss some architectural house styles that look great and continue to impress over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><a style=\"color: #008080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plans\/craftsman_house_plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Craftsman House Plans<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Also sometimes referred to as arts-and-crafts houses, craftsman-type homes are warm and welcoming, built with as many natural, handcrafted materials as possible, and often feature decorative millwork, gables and shutters. If you have an artistic personality and an appreciation for timeless workmanship, a craftsman home might just be the right fit for you. Since so many design elements go into this kind of house, there are plenty of decisions that you can make to personalize it. Ornamental features around windows, the door, under gables, and surrounding the porch make craftsman houses attention-grabbers. You\u2019ll also find the interior design quite complementary with rich woods, columns, millwork, exposed beams and stonework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/4295\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/BFD\/uploads\/1836%20front%20rendering%20THD.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/4295\/\" target=\"_blank\">This cottage craftsman house plan<\/a> is one such attention grabbing piece of architecture that impresses with its craftsman details. A covered porch accented by columns, round top windows, and attractive gable pediments are just the beginning, as exposed beams and sloped ceilings over the porch and outdoor kitchen add a striking, dramatic touch. Not many could walk by this home and be unaffected!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><a style=\"color: #008080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plans\/farm_house_plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Farmhouse Floor Plans<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you prefer a more effortless style that doesn\u2019t require a keen eye for design, a farmhouse might be for you. That is not to say farmhouses are inherently boring\u2014there is plenty to appreciate about them. Large, wraparound porches adorned with columns and railings give this style a simple sort of curb appeal and a timeless, no-nonsense vibe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/images2.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/EIJ\/uploads\/IMG2681-smaller(1).JPG\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/images2.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/EIJ\/uploads\/IMG2681-smaller(1).JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">With a covered porch that surrounds the entire house, an extended deck, and even a section of screened porch, <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/popular-bungalow-house-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">this farmhouse <\/a> is a study in country living. Anybody who values the great outdoors and comfortable quarters will swoon over this farmhouse. The only thing it needs is for you to place a rocking chair or hanging swing on that fantastic porch, and it will be the welcoming home you want with minimal effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><a style=\"color: #008080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plans\/modern_house_plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Modern House Plans<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Modern or contemporary house plans are named as such because they are devoid of historic style elements. That means no fancy, decorative millwork or showcasing of clever artistry, but there is still plenty of style to be had. Simple lines, curved walls, blocky shapes\u2014with few constraints and no unifying theme, modern houses take on a variety of looks. You can find a totally unique house plan if that\u2019s what you want, and the best part is that maintaining curb appeal is as simple as keeping the property neat and clean and letting the dramatic build of the house speak for itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/9038\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/images2.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/AMD\/uploads\/1161-front-rendering.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"326\" height=\"214\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/images2.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/AMD\/uploads\/9038front-rendering.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"216\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">There is no quintessential modern home, so it is a matter of personal taste when deciding between contemporary house plans. For those who value dramatic simplicity, something like the <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/4877\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 4877<\/a>, with its striking shape and large windows, could be perfect. If you want something that could more easily blend into a neighborhood, <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/9038\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 9038<\/a> shown right, is a nice choice. Three levels of living space with multiple vaulted ceilings visible from the roof construction and well-defined, straightforward window and door shapes give this house an interesting ambiance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #008080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plans\/cottage_house_plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cottage House Plans<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Cottages are typically smaller homes that can come in colonial, bungalow and ranch styles. With gables and eaves overhanging the porches, cottages give you some classic details without going overboard. This might be the plan for you if you like a traditional look that doesn\u2019t need too much upkeep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/3066\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/images2.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/amd\/rendrngs\/2115Ard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"454\" height=\"251\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/images2.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/BFD\/renderings\/1625%20front%20elevation%20color%20art.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"251\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">A cozy country cottage like <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/2487\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 2487<\/a> has a cute fa\u00e7ade that looks best when accented by shrubs and small flowering plants. In fact, cottages can fit right in whether in urban, suburban or rural environments. <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/3066\/\">House Plan 3066<\/a> shown right, is an example of a cottage that could be built on any lot and maintain its charm. Depending on the locale, carefully selected panel siding or shingles add just the right amount of personality to the house. Sometimes understated themselves, landscaping and even hanging planters really bring out the best in cottages, so if you\u2019ve got a green thumb, you\u2019ll have curb appeal nailed by your hobby!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<!--origin=4--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time has come to decide on the overall look that you want in a house.
