STYLES

Colonial Revival

Popular at the turn of the century, colonial style architecture is still the most popular architectural style in the United States. Based on 17th and 18th century colonial buildings, colonial design combines elements of federal and Georgian style architectures. It emphasizes order and simplicity and was introduced in response to the excessive decoration of Victorian architecture.

“Distinguish your home with a bold door in a contrasting colour to your siding and shutters. Entranceways in this style are often prominent—the bold door helps draw attention to that architectural detail.”
