Colonial

Colonial Style Notes

• Known for its multi-paned, symmetrically spaced windows 
• Doors with panels and pilasters take center stage, usually topped with windows 
• Porticos focus attention and provide shade for the front doors 
• Colonial homes typically have five windows on the second floor, with one directly above the front door 

Distinguished symmetrical shapes and lines and prominent windows create the perfect showcase for accents. The key is to keep window and door surrounds simple and add tasteful ornamentation when needed.
