If you’ve ever sold a home, you’ve probably been told that the first impression is everything. Which is why a house facade, which greets a potential buyer as they enter your property, makes a huge difference.
Home facades are the first point of contact, alluding to what’s behind the walls. I think we’ve all been to that one home, perhaps as a guest or a hopeful buyer, and thought “wow, this is going to be good!”
But even if you’re not selling your house, what you come home to at the end of the day should be a source of pride. To give you a little inspiration, we’ve scoured Australia’s coolest house facades.
Whether you want to warm up an ultra contemporary triplex or modernise a more traditional white Victorian, or simply if you want to gaze at really beautiful properties, this list of gorgeous home facades will give you what you need.

6. Colour block
What’s not to love about this “salsa house”? Bright, bold, playful, it reminds us of a time of childish innocence. Afraid of too much colour? Take it down a notch and just paint one facade, column, door, or you can even get a bright coloured or printed vase to decorate the entrance.

What’s immediately remarkable about this home facade is the herringbone front door. It instantly gives it a decorative edge whilst maintaining the laid back feel that raw materials, like wood, often offer.
