Neutral in its color scheme, yet feminine and stylish in a very subtle way, transitional style homes are the beautiful byproducts of contemporary and traditional design influences.

7. Craftsman Style Home
According to Google, searches for Craftsman style homes abound in places like Indiana, Virginia, Georgia, Michigan and Idaho. Gabled roofs and straight lines define them, but lucky for these homeowners, the Craftsman style lends itself wonderfully to bright or unusual exterior color schemes.

5. Art Deco Style
Movie star glamour (1930s style) and Ancient Egyptian influences combine to create art deco, defined by smooth walls, chrome or mirrored accents and bold exterior decorations. While it’s rare to find residential art deco style exteriors (save for a smattering in Miami's South Beach, Chicago or New York City), homeowners can incorporate glimmering 1930s-esque accents inside.

4. Spanish Style House
Ornate and oftentimes filled with colorful tile (our favorite), these homes look more like vacation destinations than actual places to live, but we’re totally here for it. Searches for Spanish style houses in 2019 spiked in warmer places: California, Florida and Texas. Which makes sense — the white stucco exteriors and breezy, arched doorways create a shady, relaxing escape from warmer weather.

2. Colonial House Style
Number two on the list is no big surprise: Colonial. Classic and symmetrical, Colonials are the stereotypical, quintessential home style of suburbia. The fun part about Colonial curb appeal is picking out paint shades. Green on the shutters? Seafoam on the siding? Yes, please.
