Your roof’s curb appeal can make or break your home’s aesthetic. Picking the right design elements can be tough, but Quarrix is here to help. 

Although overlooked sometimes, your roof’s architectural curb appeal is vital to the aesthetic of your home. It’s important to draw attention to the architectural aspects of the roof that add character and class to it. These five tips are sure to help when designing the roof of your dreams: 

1 - More dramatic roof lines attainable with Quarrix Ridge Vent 

Hip, gable and mansard are a few of the many different basic roof styles on the market today. While a hip roof may be a more appropriate style for a traditional home, the mansard is an iconic classical design. Although each roof style highlights a different architectural aesthetic and likely uses different roofing materials, they all have one thing in common – they need a proper attic ventilation system. Ridge vent is an important part of a home’s architectural curb appeal because it’s virtually invisible from the exterior, eliminating the need for unsightly pot vents. Ridge vent is a key design element because it provides a straight and baffle-free ridge line that enhances the image of the home. 

2 - Nontraditional composite tile profiles and color combinations 

Color plays a huge role in the overall curb appeal of your design. The exterior colors you choose convey an array of emotions depending upon the hues and dimensions that you select. If you’re aiming to create a space of formality, selecting a symmetrical composition with neutral earth tones can create a warm and inviting feel. It’s also good to keep color in mind when selecting roof material as product profiles are becoming increasingly diverse. If you are looking to design a one-of-a-kind authentic home, Quarrix composite roof tiles are crafted with unique profiles and color combinations that are exclusive to each homeowner. From whimsical and charming to luxurious and lush, Quarrix composite roof tile is the perfect complement to homes in all regions. 

3 - Architectural focal points with varying heights 

From hoppers and awnings to casement, windows come in all different shapes and sizes that can be customized to suit your client’s demands. Large picture windows may be used as architectural focal points to balance the exterior characteristics and increase natural light in the home. Windows of varying heights allow you to create a stylistic connection between the façade and the roof increasing the home's charm and boosting curb appeal. 

4 - Classic and timeless landscape shrubbery 

Landscape helps define the mood of the space and is often one of the first things a buyer or visitor sees upon arrival. Using low-maintenance plants that are native to the region captures a classic style that can easily tie into the homes existing color palette boosting curb appeal and sustainability. Designing a front lawn with timeless shrubbery can complement architectural elements rather than camouflage them. 

5 - Stylish hardscapes 

An often-overlooked element of adding curb appeal to your architectural drawings begins before you even get to the front door – driveways, stairs and walks draw in visitors and create a well-disposed walkway. Hardscapes can accent any home by including large masonry features of brick or quaint stone water fountains. The viability of hardscape attributes often depends on the region; certain climates promote better workspaces than others.
