Talk about homes that stand out! Or in this case, stand up. A Home for the complete homebody. Not a retreat for a thrill seeker but for someone who wants to contently sip morning coffee with the best view in the house. A home that demands you to surrender to picturesque beauty. In fact, it almost looks like a child’s drawing of an ideal home- A red house, never ending skies and a calm blue lake. This raised home doesn’t aim to appeal to the eye but to the heart.

This is reflected in the clean, minimal interiors that seem to blend in with the view outside seamlessly. The home seems to think of itself as a mere gateway that is trying to bring one back to the splendor of nature.via archdaily and trendir

This space is living testimony to the fact that space need not be cluttered with furnishings to lend it color and richness. With the use of subtle pink hues, deep wood furnishing and pale woodwork all over the space, the space looks like a palette for those who like to paint subtlety. Some rooms are lit by the bluish hues of the interplay between the pale walls and natural light that finds its way freely in this entire space.

The textured flooring and glass panels open up into natural environs bathed in ambient light. This is kind of space that gives one the luxury of the beautiful stone homes from the Greek islands. A space that transports you to beauty.[Suppose Design Office]

Here is a home that is the perfect embodiment of the ideal place to retreat to for a weekend, yet is contemporary and chic. A departure from the usual traditional wooden cottages. This poetry in wood home surprisingly uses light colors in the interiors that brighten up the space beautifully in perfect symphony with the pale, laminated wood. The interiors retain rustic warmth by not going for excessively ornate furnishings.

Instead, the use of simple and clean elements like tables, vases and lamps in elementary shapes give poetic brilliance to the rooms. The woodwork looks almost unfurnished and incomplete which adds to the very rustic beauty of this retreat. In fact, it does feel like a retreat from everything loud and overwhelming. An escape to the warmth of simplicity.[Nordicasa Design & Construction.]
