2025 Exterior Design Trends for Virginia Beach Homes

Your home’s exterior sets the tone for everything inside. It’s the first impression neighbors and visitors see, and in 2025, the design possibilities are more exciting than ever. At K.M. Cash Construction, we specialize in crafting custom homes throughout Virginia Beach and the surrounding areas, and we’re seeing some standout exterior trends that are sure to define the year ahead.


If you’re planning to build a new home or update your current exterior, here are the design elements making waves this year!

1. Moody, Sophisticated Colors Are on the Rise:

Classic neutrals will always have a place, but in 2025, homeowners across the Hampton Roads region are gravitating toward bolder, moodier hues. Think deep charcoal, slate blue, olive green, and even matte black. These colors add a refined, contemporary feel and look especially striking when paired with warm wood trim or bright white accents.


Choosing premium exterior paints that can withstand coastal Virginia’s humid summers and salty air is essential to maintaining that rich color over time.

2. Mixed Materials Add Visual Texture and Dimension:

One of the biggest design evolutions this year is the use of multiple exterior materials to create texture and interest. Blending stone, wood, brick, and metal adds contrast and gives the home a more custom, architectural look.


At K.M. Cash Construction, we often recommend combinations like white brick with natural cedar accents or stone foundations with sleek siding. This layered aesthetic adds depth and character while still feeling cohesive.

3. Outdoor Living Is Front and Center:

In Virginia Beach, where weather encourages time outside nearly year-round, it’s no surprise that large porches and outdoor living spaces are in high demand. Homeowners are opting for expansive front porches with columns, ceiling fans, and seating areas perfect for relaxing with neighbors or enjoying ocean breezes.


Outdoor spaces like covered patios, kitchens, or wraparound verandas not only enhance curb appeal but also extend livable space in meaningful ways.

4. Statement Entryways Make a Lasting Impression:

Your front door says a lot about your home’s personality. In 2025, statement entryways are all about bold design and functional beauty. Oversized wooden doors, dramatic arches, dark metal finishes, and side or transom windows are just a few features we’re building into homes across Hampton Roads.

5. Vertical Siding and Board-and-Batten Detailing

Modern farmhouse and coastal-inspired homes remain popular across the Virginia Beach area, and vertical siding plays a major role in that trend. Board and batten siding in particular offers a clean, crisp look that feels both classic and current.


This style works beautifully alongside brick or stone and provides an instant upgrade to any home’s façade, especially when used on accent walls or entryway bump-outs.
