Exterior Design Trends for 2025

New year, new renovations? We don’t want to sound cliché, but the reality is that as the new year begins so does the planning of renovating or updating your outdoor living space.

We love to accommodate our customer’s safety needs and personal style but if you are looking for some inspiration, here we have outlined some popular exterior design trends for 2025:

Dark, contrasting colours

Moody colours were already quite popular in 2024, and they will continue to grow and dominate exterior design in 2025. Grey and black have replaced neutral shades in order to create an eye-catching and contrasting look for your home’s exterior.

The stark contrast of your home and landscape with the darker railings makes for a very stylish and elegant finish. Our systems, the railings, handrails, posts, and other small parts of our balustrades can be powder-coated with any RAL colour of your choice at an extra charge.

Here are some examples of powder-coated railings in dark colours:

Adding modern twists to traditional designs

Timeless and traditional designs never go out of style. If your home’s exterior feels dated, small updates can give it a modern touch without a full costly renovation or compromise of your classic architecture. In 2025, many homeowners will opt for cost-effective solutions that enhance existing landscaping with subtle modern twists.

In our opinion, blending traditional architectural elements with modern features creates a stunning result. Our glass balustrades, for example, offer an instant contemporary feel that can be easily self-installed, customised and paired perfectly with your home.

Subtle sophistication

Another trend for 2025 is adding simple sophistication to your outdoor living spaces. Ditch that busy, outdated steel railings and opt for our Frameless glass balustrade for that added quiet luxury.

Our Frameless glass balustrade is a beautiful minimalistic system that offers unobstructed views since it has no visible frames, this seamless finish also makes for the perfect subtle touch of elegance for any outdoor project.
