The external member includes a metal layer that defines through-holes for transmitting light emitted from a light source including a light-emitting device mounted on a rear surface of the metal layer. The through-holes are not exposed to an outside by a film layer attached to a front surface of the metal layer when the light-emitting device is turned off. The external member for home appliances provides improved luxuriousness and aesthetic sensibility to the home appliances.
