Mostly A’s: Steampunk
You’re all about Steampunk, a blend of antique and modern metals. Envision old watches and sci-fi technologies in copper, silver, and gold. For this aesthetic, look to Dryvit’s Reflectit™ metallic coatings for a reflective surface, or Ferros® for a unique, rusted appearance.
Mostly B’s: Barbiecore
You fit the Barbiecore aesthetic. Often leaning towards whites and pinks, you’re into bold colors and clean lines. For your building, you’re likely looking to keep up with the trends while making a statement. Stone Mist® and Ameristone will fit your desire for all things luxury, with quartz aggregates that reflect sunlight and bring a natural glitter to your façade. Add in one of our standard colors, like Peony or Bubblegum, and you’re sure to stand out.
Mostly C’s: Cottagecore
You are Cottagecore to the core. You love to bring the outdoors in with light earth tones, natural greenery and light woods. To complement this airiness and often rustic vibe, consider Tuscan Glaze™ for your building’s exterior, which emulates old plaster but with modern durability and performance. For a more contemporary aesthetic, Tibur Stone™ provides a smoother finish reminiscent of light stone or sand.
Mostly D’s: Dark Academia
You’re into dark academia. This aesthetic is about intellect and the arts with a moody twist. Think old libraries, leather chairs, and a cup of coffee. For the outside of your building, TerraNeo® and a dark Woodgrain would add depth to match your personal style.
If you have an equal number of different answers, that’s great! You’re a mix of different aesthetics and Dryvit’s exterior finishes can be combined across a building too.
