House exterior before and after: beige vinyl to sage board and batten
A plain two-story house with beige vinyl lap siding, white windows and a grey shingle roof, redesigned with the house exterior design tool and this board and batten idea as the style reference. The shape of the house, its rooflines and every window and door stayed in place.
Try this on your roomThe starting room
The house in the starting photo is sound but anonymous: beige lap siding, white vinyl windows, a grey roof and a white garage door give it nothing to tell it apart from the houses on either side.
What changed
- Sage vertical board and batten siding replaced the beige lap siding
- Black window frames in the same openings
- Dark metal roofs on the house, the porch and the garage
- A wood front door and a wood-look garage door
- Wood porch posts with a black railing, and wall lights by the doors
- Low planting along the front of the house
What stayed the same
- The house's shape and rooflines
- Every window and door in its place and size
- The porch and the garage
- The driveway, the lawn and the neighboring houses
- The camera angle

Who it suits
Plain two-story houses with simple rooflines, where the siding and colors are what makes them look like every other house on the street. Sage, black and wood keep the look calm; the lawn in the image is the old one, so the yard is the next job.
Limitations
- Furniture sizes and positions are visual approximations, not measurements.
- Colors on screen differ from real paint and materials. Check them with physical samples.
- Results depend on the photo: its light, its angle and what is in the room.
- The image changes the siding, roof, windows and doors at once; in practice those are separate jobs and prices.
- Check local rules and any homeowners' association before you change a facade's color or material.

Frequently asked questions
What is the small image in the corner?
It is the idea this case used as its style reference. The tool takes the facade materials, colors, roof and trim from it and keeps the house from the starting photo.
Is this a real house?
No. The starting photo is a sample house we generated to test the tool, as the note under the image says. The result is what the tool made from it, without retouching.
