Jennifer Garner uses natural materials to bring a textural feel to the exterior of her home – the look is dominating trends in 2024
Rather than embracing a single paint color, the exterior of her home celebrates a variety of natural materials – and this look increasing in popularity
The exterior of most homes is composed of painted wood, or colored siding. However, these are not the only two options. Jennifer Garner's house is a gorgeous inspiration for how thinking outside the box with the house exterior can pay off.
The actress took to Instagram to share a video playing with her adorable dog, revealing a glimpse of her modern rustic home in the process. Her house is composed of gray, natural stone bricks abutting her unfinished wood porch, fence, and bright green hedges. This unique combination of natural materials instantly makes her house look charming and inviting.
'Using materials with different textures, like brick and wood, can add personality and help a home stand out,' says Tim Leese, materials expert at Glen-Gery premium bricks of her exterior cladding. He continues, 'Because of their ability to integrate light and shadows, brick and stone surfaces add an incredible amount of depth and dimension to exterior finishes, especially when combined with other natural elements'

Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens adds: 'The exterior of a home creates a first impression, and the impression of Jennifer Garner's home is immediately striking. As opposed to employing exterior paint trends to adorn the outside of your home, this look is completely timeless. The natural materials will always be on trend, because they have always been around. Their connection to nature creates an inviting and calming feeling surrounding the home.'

Furthermore, as natural materials grow in popularity, the look is becoming a popular design trend. Leese tells Homes & Gardens: 'This is something we’re already seeing. Homeowners are moving away from smooth textures in favor of authentic and natural materials that add visual interest. We anticipate the trend of multi-textured facades continuing as homeowners seek to break away from the cookie-cutter aesthetic.'
