One of the safest ways to decide the perfect style is by adjusting the style itself to your prepared budget. Classic and Mediterranean styles generally consume more budget than modern, Bali-Villa, or any other styles. The primary factor is the complication level and type of materials used.

3. Following your local regulations
Although it does not happen in many regions or countries, it’s much safer to find information regarding your regional regulations before deciding the style to apply.

4. Maintenance-Friendly
Just like budgeting, you can apply the same technique based on the maintenance frequency. In this case, the modern and Scandinavian styles required lower maintenance expenses in comparison to other architectural styles, such as Bali-Villa, classic, Mediterranean, and so on. The maintenance fee is based on the design difficulty, the ornamentations, and the materials used as the building’s finishes.
Houses that are dominated by wood, sandstone, Palimanan, and similar natural stones on the exterior, need regular maintenance in order to keep the façade clean without any fungus, mildew, termites, and other unwanted conditions. Houses that have many ornaments, as well as wall and ceiling reliefs, make the maintenance process even more complicated and difficult.
