Now, let’s take a stroll through these styles and find the one that feels like home – your home.
1. Texas Craft
The Texas Craft style in COLTON is a modern take on classic Texas Hill Country design – warm, grounded, and purposefully built. These homes feature strong architectural lines, steep-pitched roofs, and functional front porches.
For a look that’s both lasting and local, consider natural stone such as orchard limestone, peak ledge, and farmhouse ledge. Horizontal lap siding introduces a clean, modern farmhouse element that complements the stone’s earthy tones. Windows are tall and simple, framed to bring in natural light while keeping the design warm and inviting.
Garage doors appear in carriage-style or stained wood finishes, often with crossbeam accents or inset windows for detail and function. Trim accents and house numbers are selected to add character and reinforce the style’s handcrafted appearance.
2. Spanish Monterrey
The Spanish Monterrey style in COLTON combines Spanish Colonial and California Mission architecture with a focus on texture and contrast. Exterior features include low-pitched gable roofs with wide eaves and smooth stucco exteriors in light, neutral tones. Light sand-colored stucco is paired with Craft® Broken Rubble and Craft® Foothill Rubble stone, both irregular in shape and ranging in color from beige to tan with gray undertones. Roof tiles come in muted earth colors like terracotta, sand, and slate, adding texture and warmth. The architecture includes arched front entries and windows, central to Spanish Monterrey design.
Front doors are arched, constructed of dark wood with visible grain and wrought iron hardware, giving a historic, handcrafted appearance. House numbers are displayed on decorative ceramic tiles with painted numerals, adding a touch of color and cultural character. Similar ceramic tiles featuring geometric and floral patterns are used on stair risers and accent walls creating vibrant, eye-catching details. These tiles use colors such as indigo, rust, mustard, and olive, and are placed to contrast against the neutral stucco. The recessed entryway creates depth and shade.
The style includes aged red brick used on walls or accents, bringing contrast and traditional character. Garage doors follow the theme with either white paneled styles featuring iron strap hinges or rich brown raised-panel designs resembling classic carriage doors.
3. Mid-Century
The Mid-Century style in COLTON is built around geometric forms, flat planes, and a strong connection to the outdoors. The elevation shows a low-pitched, shed-style roof with deep overhangs and layered massing, giving the home a horizontal profile. Exterior materials include vertical wood siding in dark stains, smooth fiber cement panels, and board-and-batten textures in soft, muted colors like slate gray and off-white.
Windows are large and horizontally grouped, often placed high on the wall near the roofline or in narrow vertical sections to let in natural light without overexposing interior space. Trim is minimal or integrated into the wall plane. Entry doors are flush-panel designs with rectangular frosted glass inserts arranged either vertically or in horizontal rows, using materials like natural walnut or painted composite.
Garage doors follow the same visual logic, featuring smooth-faced panels with horizontal wood or metal insets. One version includes black framing with contrasting horizontal wood slats, while another shows white panels with aluminum-framed frosted glass in a stacked layout. These components create a façade with high contrast, sharp definition, and modern curb appeal.
4. Texas Prairie
The Texas Prairie style in COLTON features a low-pitched hipped roof with wide overhangs and layered massing, creating a broad, grounded appearance. Exterior materials include smooth horizontal lap siding, vertical board-and-batten siding, and two brick finishes: painted white brick and lightly weathered red brick with a soft mortar wash. These elements are arranged in horizontal bands to emphasize linear movement across the façade.
Windows are rectangular, grouped in horizontal rows, and framed with minimal trim to maintain flat wall planes. Frames are black or bronze, aligned with the roofline to reinforce the structure’s geometry. Entry doors use wood or stained fiberglass with vertical stiles, rectangular glass inserts, or leaded glass panels with square mullions, reflecting early Texas Prairie style influences.
Garage doors are finished in warm brown tones with vertical grooves or shaker-style panels. Styles include flat panel designs, barn-style carriage doors with center handles, and doors with rectangular glass inserts placed along the top. All materials have matte or satin finishes, avoiding gloss to maintain the natural, muted texture typical of Prairie architecture.
5. Texas Mesa
The Texas Mesa style in COLTON features asymmetrical massing, layered rooflines, and natural materials with high contrast and texture. Lower walls are clad in Craft® Foothill Rubble and Craft® Broken Rubble, using irregular stones in beige, tan, and sandstone tones with rough surfaces and deep mortar joints. Upper sections use horizontal lap siding in soft white or light gray with wide, clean reveals for visual contrast.
Windows are narrow, vertically oriented, and framed in dark bronze or black, set flush with minimal trim. Front doors are solid wood, such as alder or mahogany, with vertical planks. Designs include square gridded glass lites or arched panels with iron hardware, finished in natural or stained tones like Spanish cedar or antique gold.
Garage doors are finished in weathered wood textures with deep crossbuck (X-pattern) designs and rectangular divided-light transom windows along the top. Finishes are in cool gray-brown or aged driftwood tones with matte hardware. All materials have tactile, natural surfaces—stone with coarse grain, wood with exposed knots, and siding with smooth but subtle variation—to reinforce the earthy, site-specific feel of the Texas Mesa style.
