Art Deco
Also called style moderne, the art deco movement in the decorative arts and architecture originated in the 1920s and developed into a major style in western Europe and the United States during the 1930s. Its name was derived from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925, where the style was first exhibited. Art Deco design represented modernism turned into fashion. Its products included both individually crafted luxury items and mass-produced wares, but, in either case, the intention was to create a sleek and anti-traditional elegance that symbolized wealth and sophistication.

Cape Cod
Generally, Cape Cod homes have a steep roof, shingled exterior, symmetrical façade, and large chimney in the middle. While Cape Cod houses can have multiple floors, most residences are single-storied. Additionally, Cape Cod house style is notoriously free of any superfluous ornamentation, making them versatile enough for a variety of homeowners. Nowadays, Cape Cod house style falls into one of three categories: a full Cape, three-quarter Cape, and half Cape. While full Cape houses boast a picture-perfect symmetry that is commonly associated with the style, three-quarter and half Capes are smaller, not to mention their entryways and chimneys are slightly offset. (You can also think of it as three quarters or half of a traditional Cape Cod house.)

Contemporary
Contemporary houses have open floor plans, with minimal doors and walls. In keeping with today’s lifestyles, it is designed to be functional—but warmer than the Modern style. Contemporary house design emphasizes a direct connection between indoors and outdoors. Many feature movable exterior walls—essentially, more elaborate versions of the ranch house patio slider—leading to outdoor “rooms” like fully equipped outdoor kitchens with refrigerators, barbecues, full-featured stoves and fireplaces. Almost all contemporary houses share common design elements such as tall, irregularly shaped windows; bold geometric shapes; and asymmetrical façades and floor plans. However, most contemporary houses also tap design history and freely borrow elements from a host of historical styles, mixing them up to create a unique look and feel.

Tudor
Tudor homes are characterized by their steeply pitched gable roofs, playfully elaborate masonry chimneys (often with chimney pots), embellished doorways, groupings of windows, and decorative half-timbering (this last an exposed wood framework with the spaces between the timbers filled with masonry or stucco).

Victorian
When you picture a Victorian house, you might envision a colorful dollhouse, or maybe an imposing haunted house comes to mind. Both are quintessential Victorian style homes, but Victorian architecture technically refers to the era and not a specific style. That era was, of course, the time when Queen Victoria reigned in Great Britain, from 1837 to 1901. As Grant Marani, a partner at New York’s Robert A.M. Stern Architects, explains it: “Victorian means different things to different people.” But generally, the styles that are most strongly associated with this time period “emphasize verticality, decoration, and a mix of materials and colors,” Grant says.

Craftsman
Craftsman homes emphasize horizontal lines and showcase natural materials, originality of design and the visibility of handicraft. The common features of the Craftsman style include low-pitched gable (triangular) roofs, overhanging eaves with exposed rafters and beams, heavy, tapered columns, patterned window panes and a covered front porch.
