Colonial

Colonial homes are built primarily from wood with a traditionally symmetrical orientation, steep roofs, small glass windows, pillars, rich ornamentation and a massive central chimney. Their popularity began in the 1600s with early European American settlers. They are primarily found in Northeastern states such as Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.

Improvements:

1. Half-Rounded Windows & Shutters:

a. A common type of window frame used in the colonial times.
b. If your colonial home doesn’t already sport half-rounded windows on the top, this may help add to the classic look.
c. Consider installing half-rounded windows in rooms that don’t have as much natural light as you’d like.
