Make an Impact! Inspiring Facade Ideas

by Carlisle Homes

Looking for ideas for your facade? You’ve come to the right place – here’s how to bring the hottest looks to life along with a peek at our newest facades.

We spend so much time thinking about the interior of our home, it’s easy to forget that the exterior is the first thing people notice to see. A fabulous facade not only boosts your kerb appeal, but sets the tone for the rest of your home, making it a hugely important part of the selection process.

Whether you love all things contemporary, favour laid-back Hamptons style or want your exterior to blend seamlessly with the landscape, you’ll find exactly what you’re after in our stunning lineup of new facades.

Read on to discover the colours and materials you’ll need to bring your favourite exterior style to life, and which of Carlisle’s latest facades captures the look.

A nature-inspired exterior

Layering earth-drawn tones and natural textures will give your home a warm, organic look that blends effortlessly with the landscape. You can create this earthy aesthetic with features such as chocolate brickwork, velvety, rendered Hebel, touches of rich timber on your garage and front door, and natural stone accents on pillars.

And don’t forget that all-important element – light! Choose a facade design with generous front windows or a glass front door to enhance the connection between inside and out and fill your interior with natural light.

Love a natural look? Check out our new Parkglen Hebel facade, available on T-Range and EasyLiving single storey homes, which combines beautiful slatted PermaTimber detailing, velvety, rendered Hebel, supersized windows and a glass front door for optimal light. You can see it at our Piermont 29 display home at Redstone Estate. 

A coastal-inspired look

The perfect balance of relaxed and sophisticated, a coastal-inspired Hamptons exterior never dates. The key ingredients? Timeless weatherboard cladding, beachy colours like white, soft grey and greige, a gable roof and decorative detailing.

If you can’t go past this look, you’ll adore our new Creswick facade, available on T-Range double storey homes, which comes in a choice of brick or Hebel. It combines painted weatherboards on the upper level with sleek, rendered elements on the lower level, a gabled roof and classic mullion windows. See it on our Illawarra Grand Deluxe 45 display home at Meridian Estate. 

Building an EasyLiving single storey home? Consider our Newhaven Hebel facade, which pairs modern, rendered Hebel with traditional weatherboards and trims. View it on our Glenbrook 27 display home at Meridian Estate. 

Or, for Affinity double storey homes, there’s our new Solara Hebel facade, which blends rendered Hebel on the lower level and weatherboards on the upper level, huge windows to maximise light and air flow, and a striking entry portico. See it on our Rothbury Grand Atrium display home at Peppercorn Hill Estate.

Contemporary elegance

Chic, modern and timeless, mixing tonal shades of grey across your facade is guaranteed to create a look you’ll never tire of. Bring it to life by layering three or four different tones of grey across your front walls, trims, garage door and roof tiles, with a pop or two of rich timber for some contrast.

If this is a look that sets your heart racing, you’ll love our new Clearwater Hebel facade, available on Affinity double storey homes, which layers modern, rendered Hebel with PermaTimber detailing. It boasts a contemporary glass balcony and huge windows on both levels for maximum light and indoor-outdoor flow. Check it out on our Astoria Grand display home at Meridian Estate.  

Or create a fashionable, modern look with on-trend features such as a corner butt-joint window (great for maximising light!) and an asymmetrical front pillar, as seen on our new Madison Hebel facade, which is available for T-Range single storey homes. See it on our Provincial Grand Pantry 29BP display home at Peppercorn Hill Estate.

Alternatively, bring the look to life with our new Esprit Hebel facade (also available on EasyLiving homes) by specifying mid-tone grey for the large-format weatherboards on the upper level, a charcoal roof and windows, and a soft grey rendered portico and lower walls.

Rich & textural

To give your home real wow factor, go bold with your colour and material selections. Try combining deep charcoal across the larger expanses on your facade, such as the garage door, piers and roof, contrasted with timber accents and crisp black window frames.

Bring this bold, textural look to life with our new Riverdale Hebel facade (available on T-Range single storey homes) by specifying warm, earthy grey rendered Hebel walls, a charcoal roof and window frames, and a timber front door.

Or if you prefer a lighter look, try layering different textures such as brick and Hebel in paler shades of grey along with white trims – it’s easy to achieve with our fresh Newington Hebel facade, which is available on T-Range and EasyLiving double storey homes.
