The Most Popular Home Styles In North America

  The Colonial home is one of the most popular styles of home in the United States, according to "Better Homes and Gardens." The Colonial-style evolved from European influences, which started in the 1600s. Many colonists emigrated from Europe and brought those influences with them. Over time the Colonial style became distinct, recognizable for its use of geometry, and different regions of the United States added their own tweaks to provide relief from the climate.
