6 of the Most Popular Styles on Houzz
Fratantoni Luxury Estates • December 11, 2018
It looks as though the modern farmhouse trend is going to stick around for quite some time but there are some other Popular Architectural Styles coming into play. The architectural styles currently trending on Houzz also cover a wide spectrum. What they have in common are pleasing proportions, a thoughtful use of materials, and something special that makes them feel like home. Here are the most popular exterior styles uploaded to Houzz from January to March of this year, as measured by the number of people who have saved them to their Houzz idea-books.
Popular Architectural Styles
1. Modern Farmhouse
The modern farmhouse style of design is not just a look, it’s a feeling. It’s easy and casual, nothing overdone or excessive. They combine the best of modern and old fashioned looks, and they work in all kinds of locations.
2. Traditional Farmhouse
3. Modern Glass House
4. Tudor Style
You probably hear people identify this asymmetrical style of architecture by one word—Tudor—but Tudor Revival may be more accurate.
5. Contemporary Set in Nature
When imagining a home set in a natural landscape, a lodge or ranch architectural style may spring to mind. But more and more contemporary house plans are being built in natural settings. The contrast between the stark geometry of a modern-style home and the soft lines of nature appeals to many designers and homebuyers. The term contemporary architecture is also applied to a range of styles of recently built structures and space which are optimized for current use. The concept of modernism is a central theme in the efforts of 20th century modern architecture. Gaining global popularity especially after the Second World War, architectural modernism was adopted by many architects and architectural educators, and continued as a dominant architectural style for institutional and corporate buildings into the 21st century.
6. True Original
Now we know that Houzzers like traditional, and they like a modern take on a farmhouse, a classic farmhouse, Tudor style, modern and contemporary. But Houzzers also like the unclassifiable. With its contemporary angles and nods to more traditional styles. It doesn’t represent a trend; it represents being unique. This list shows that we are all individuals with our own tastes and that our style is about choosing what speaks to us, sparks a memory, and makes us feel comfortable and happy. That’s what home is.

Visualize welcoming friends into a softly lit lounge where a 600-bottle, climate-controlled cellar glows behind ultra-clear glass. A single tap on your phone lowers the temperature two degrees, LED ribbons spotlight a 1990 Château Latour, and the conversation shifts from market headlines to terroir. That experience, part theater, part craftsmanship, part investment vault, is driving the latest boom in luxury home wine sanctuaries. In 2025, serious collectors no longer hide vintages in a dusty basement; they showcase them at the very heart of the estate, turning storage into social space. Recent design reports even call the modern wine cellar a “jewel box” for the ultra-affluent, thanks to glass enclosures, app-controlled thermostats, and gallery-style lighting. But what transforms a mere storage room into a sanctuary worthy of your first-growth Bordeaux? Let’s uncork the essentials, backed by real Fratantoni projects and the latest industry data.

Building a custom home should be an experience marked by excitement, creativity, and complete trust in the team guiding you through it. But as we’ve seen time and again, placing your dream in the wrong hands can lead to disappointment, delays, and costly mistakes. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, we’ve earned a reputation for building exceptional homes for discerning families across the nation. Many of our clients come to us after working with firms that didn’t meet their standards—and they’re often relieved to find the level of service, detail, and sophistication they expected from the start. Before you commit to a design/build firm, watch for these five red flags that could derail your custom home experience and discover how we intentionally do things differently. 1. Vague Proposals and Unrealistic Estimates If a proposal lacks clarity, feels overly “cookie-cutter,” or seems too low for the level of finishes you expect, take pause. Bespoke homes require bespoke planning. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our proposals are precise, detailed, and tailored to the scale and style of your estate. You’ll know exactly what’s include and what to expect so there are no surprises down the road. 2. Disconnected Teams and Outsourced Design When architecture, design, and construction are handled by different firms, communication gaps are inevitable—and those gaps show up in your finished home. Our in-house team of architects, designers, and builders work seamlessly together, ensuring a unified vision and flawless execution. This full-service model is how we create homes with harmony, balance, and timeless design integrity.
