Architecture, Interior Design and Style

well you're easy to please. This house looks like approximately 4 million houses within an hour of where I live.

I am, indeed. I really don't feel the need to have a house the stands out among the rest; as long as I have my basic needs covered, I'm completely happy. My dream would be to have a house like this where I'd set up a recording studio in the basement.

I enjoy watching more extravagant/stylish designs, but I'm quite easily satisfied material wise. A lot of people can't afford a house like I posted anyway, so it's still a dream house for many.

Amanpulo Beach. The cost to visit this tropical paradise is all worth it.

I love Spanish-style rustic architecture.

Fuck, I just want to smoke a joint and lay in that bed and watch all the fishies around me for hours. Maybe set the whole experience to some cool trippy music too. Amazing.

I wonder how much that room costs for a night. Probably something truly bank account-draining. Sigh.

The coolest thing is that it's really under the ocean, not an aquarium. I tried looking for the fees on the website, to no avail.

It's settled then. You pay the admittance, I bring the weed and the music. How about this song?

Ohh god... I'm not even in that room and haven't smoked weed, but I'm already tripping! haha dancenude

I wish I had a room like this when I was a teenager. Digging that black Gibson Les Paul and the Marshall amp.

I bet this building looks perfectly straight and normal when you're on LSD.

A breezy, intimate beach escape welcomes the owners of the Pohutukawa Beach House by Herbst Architects.
This modern wooden home is nestled under an old swath of Pohutukawa trees in a beach destination not far from Auckland, New Zealand.
Its two levels are laced with wood and floor-to-ceiling glass, making the coastal environment the central focus of its design.

So, I thought reviving this awesome thread...

As I said in a previous post, I like cozy red brick houses. This is pretty much my dream house: it seems to be the perfect size and I like how the garage is adjacent to the main house. I don't really like when too much emphasis is given to the garage doors:

Some other ones I like:

This one is smaller, but still probably comfortable enough. I like the sweet ornament around the main door; probably the romantic in me speaking. Embarassed

I really couldn't see myself living in an enormous manor that just screams 'I've got money!'. Why would one need so much space anyway? That'd just feel very empty:

Oddly enough, as much as I prefer a rather conservative/traditional exterior appearance, I definitely favor modern interior designs. That's probably representative of my own self: sweet on the outside, edgy on the inside. I like these living rooms (and yes, I like black a lot):

I don't usually like overly big sofas, but I like the ambiance of that room (I love interior brick walls):

This one is likely in New York (as seen through the window):

That one is a bit more conservative, but still very harmonious:

Some bedrooms I like. The first one is pretty amazing, I love how the colors of the bed match the exterior landscape. It would almost feel as if you're sleeping outside on a plain. Very soothing atmosphere:

For kitchens, I actually like something a bit more cheerful and traditional. I love red bricks, it feels very cozy:

These modern designs are great too:

The Longaberger Headquarters basket building is about 2 miles from where I work. I pass this thing every time I visit my mom.

Haha Buz, you definitely seem to like those log houses. I actually had a friend living outside my city who used to build those, though he was working on projects that were a bit less ambitious (only 3-4 guys in this company). These guys were really specialized in assembling logs, the contractors had to hire another company if they wanted to build those larger log/brick hybrids.

Those houses are rather popular here in the countryside (definitely not in my city though); these guys even received quite a few contracts from the government to build small lodges on campsites or in hunting/fishing/hiking centers.

Most of their contracts were smaller cabins similar to this:

He once invited me on a bigger construction site that looked more like this however:

These living rooms are a bit more common, but their colors/atmospheres are still rather inspiring to give you a few nice ideas for your own decor. Anyone could essentially replicate something quite similar; the art of making a lot with very little resources. As an added bonus, these atmospheres are a bit more unisex than the ones I previously showed.

I could see myself living in most of these, though I'd likely make a few minor changes here and there:

I kinda like the idea behind that one. The overall atmosphere is rather somber/masculine, but then the colorful carpet adds a nice touch of joy/creativity. I'd get rid of the golden trinkets on the coffee table however:

Here's something fun I just made: a nice guide for guys who'd like to move with their girlfriends, haha. Hopefully your girlfriend will be tolerant to those changes and won't force you to sleep on the sofa.

First, you have a rather feminine bedroom with a lot of light/soft elements:

Add a few darker elements, edgy photographs... and voila! You now have a nice unisex bedroom:

I've always loved these collages of photographs to cover your walls; I actually have a few myself in my own apartment (mostly photographs of historical/inspiring people). They add this nice intellectual/artistic/cosmopolitan vibe to your atmosphere with a very low budget; you just need to buy a few frames and then you can print your own photographs from the internet (that's what I do myself, I even like to swap my photographs every now and then).

They can change a conservative/boring atmosphere to a modern/sophisticated one with very little efforts:

By opposition, I strongly dislike those random frames. Very bland and uninspired:

See how much funner this decor looks like with a few edgy photographs, haha. This is serious though, it totally changes it for the better:

Something like this would work for the winter as long as there was shopping nearby smile

I painted and decorated our bedroom, and this was my inspiration room. The color on the wall is exactly like the picture, and the room turned out beautiful and inviting. The only complaint I got was the number of pillows on the bed...I love pillows, lots of them.
