Choose a Facade That Reflects Your Style
At Ross North Homes, we offer a range of facade options that complement various home designs from contemporary and coastal to classic and modern. These facades are created to suit Perth’s diverse architectural preferences and reflect the latest design trends while staying timeless in appeal.
Some of our most popular facade features include:
- Contrasting Textures: Rendered finishes, feature brickwork, cladding, and stonework help add visual depth and interest.
- Statement Entryways: Elevated porticos, wide front doors, and defined pathways create a welcoming sense of arrival. Learn more about: The Importance of a Well-Designed Entryway
- Neutral Palettes with Impact: Earthy tones and soft greys remain popular for a timeless, modern look, while bold accent colours or darker roofing can provide contrast.

Coordinate Your Exterior Materials Thoughtfully
A well-styled exterior blends different materials in a way that feels cohesive. Think about:
- Roof and Wall Harmony: Matching or complementing the roof colour with external paint or render ensures your home feels balanced.
- Window and Door Frames: Aluminium or timber-look finishes can tie into your chosen colour scheme and help reinforce your overall design aesthetic.
- Garage Doors as a Feature: Many of our clients use their garage door to enhance street appeal—whether it’s a timber-look finish or a sleek, modern profile.
Our design consultants work closely with clients to help select finishes that not only look great but also withstand Perth’s climate and suit the surrounding environment.

Landscaping That Works with Your Home
Front landscaping doesn’t need to be overly complex to be effective. Even a few well-placed plants, thoughtful paving choices, and a manicured lawn can elevate your facade dramatically.
Tips to consider:
- Low-Maintenance Plants: Drought-tolerant natives or structured greenery like agaves and succulents thrive in Perth conditions and suit modern facades. Also read: How to Create the Perfect Low-Maintenance Garden
- Defined Pathways: Using contrasting paving or stepping stones can guide guests to your entry and add character.
- Lighting for Atmosphere: Exterior lighting can highlight key architectural features and improve safety and visibility at night.

Consistency is Key
To achieve a polished exterior, consistency is essential. Carry your colour palette and material choices from the facade into visible outdoor areas, like fencing, letterboxes, and even front-facing downpipes. At Ross North Homes, we help our clients create a unified look by guiding them through each styling decision with expert support.
