One of the hallmarks of a Tudor home is the decorative half timbering often seen on the front of the home. These exposed boards are a nod to original 16th century building practices that made use of heavy timbers to support the house. Today these touches are entirely ornamental. To complement the natural materials, home color schemes of brown, buff, cream, and white are often used.
