Are you in LOVE with the white home exterior as much as I am?! Do you want to build a white house, but you worry it’s just a trend and will be out of style before you even finish building your house?!

If YOU are on the fence, keep scrolling down and I’ll let you know what I think about the longevity of the all-white house exterior at the end of this post … but first, let’s look at some gorgeous houses that will surely make your jaw drop! Be sure to PIN all your favs.

10 WHITE HOME EXTERIOR IDEAS YOU’LL SWOON OVER

One thing you’ll notice as you scroll through these photos is that I love (LOVE) board and batten! I have it on MY HOME, and it’s on 90% of the houses you’ll see below!

How stunning are these white home exteriors?! Seriously … STUNNING! Are they too trendy though?! THAT is the question! My opinion … ABSOLUTELY NOT!

The white home exterior is CLASSIC and it will always be in style! It may not always be the current trend, but it’s definitely not going out of style! If I were building today (in 2020), I would 100% build a white home … whether it be painted board and batten or painted brick. Just sayin’!

If you are on the fence, I say GO FOR IT! Build your dream house … with a white exterior!

One other question you may have … what COLOR of white should I use? Let’s work on this together :). First, download my *FREE* ‘Design Decision Guided Workbook’ and then start narrowing down your options by reading 10 White Paint Colors that Designers Love.

I designed my own custom home from the ground up, inside and out. A home that is cozy, comfy, laid out perfectly for the way my family lives, and makes us happy every single day. Oh, and did I mention I did this all without blowing the budget?! 

Yep, it’s true. I’ve been there, done that, and actually lived through it … and you will too. Pinkie promise!
