How to Achieve a Modern Tudor Style Home
There’s nothing more interesting than the fusing of times past and present. Some of the best pieces of architecture and design give a nod to times past but ooze modernity and class. This is especially true when it comes to the modern Tudor style home.
Tudor architecture has a particularly strong look, which can be striking and beautiful in equal measure. But if you want a more modern Tudor style home, you might be looking for modern mock Tudor inspiration you can DIY.
So without further ado, here are some ideas on how to achieve a modern Tudor style home.
1. Mix up your colour scheme
If you’re going for a completely traditional mock Tudor look, white render and brown walls can look fantastic. But if you’re looking for a more modern Tudor style home, consider choosing out of the box colours. How about light, neutral beams, white render with light coloured windows? Or anthracite grey mock Tudor boards with a light grey render? There’s no reason why you can’t bring a touch of modern class to your mock Tudor house makeover, so don’t be afraid to be different!
2. Use bricks to create a modern look
The way the bricks are laid to the front of your property can have a huge impact on the appearance of your property. If you have standard brickwork to the front, think about how you can change it to be more interesting. One style of brickwork that is particularly aesthetically pleasing is herringbone, so it could be worth incorporating some tweaks to the surrounding structure.
3. Choose a modern-style path
If you’re having a modern style mock Tudor house makeover, you might be thinking about changing the other elements at the front of your property. This is where you can really inject some modernity and make mock Tudor boards come into their own. If you’ve opted for a grey colour scheme, a modern-style path in Indian stone can work particularly well, or if you’re going for a light and bright feel, Antico cream porcelain flagstones can finish the look off perfectly.
4. Update your front door
Upgrading your front door to one with a super modern design is a quick and easy way to give the appearance of a modern mock Tudor style home. Nowadays, there are hundreds of fantastic modern doors on the market and the sky is the limit as to what you can have. Contemporary aluminium front doors are very in vogue and come in a range of unusual colours.
5. Upgrade your timber for polyurethane mock Tudor boards
There’s nothing that spoils the look of your home more than rotting wood exteriors on your home. Investing in polyurethane mock Tudor boards can be the perfect way to make them more aesthetically pleasing, while also offering a modern, fresh approach. When manufactured by a reputable mock Tudor board company, they look authentic, are weather-resistant and give a clean, contemporary vibe.
