Whatever it is – we all like aesthetically pleasing things. And so does this online community that’s dedicated to beautiful houses. Their mission statement is simple: they want houses to be more beautiful. Whether that’s through home design, architecture, interior, or decorating. What is a beautiful home? Let’s see how interior designers and architects define it. Designer Anne Lubner quotes Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, saying that there is no place like home. “I define a beautiful home as one that pleases the souls of the people who live there. It’s a feeling of comfort, of feeling in tune with your surroundings.” Even the smallest of homes on the most modest of budgets can become part of the wider expanse. It makes little difference whether it’s a small part of the wider landscape or an enclosed jewel in the cityscape." Interior designer Julie Rawding might sound quite radical, but she believes that a beautiful home is “the most important thing” one can do for themselves. The designers at Krista + Home list some reasons why. First, we spend a lot of time in our homes, especially those who work from home. Second, we socialize with our family and close friends there. And lastly, we do most of our self-care rituals at home, be it meditating, taking a nap, reading a book, or taking a bubble bath. The creative mind behind it is Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who has many celebrity homes under his name. He also designed the Pulitzer Arts Foundation Museum in Missouri, The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois, and the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The mansion overlooks Lake Washington and also has “an artificial stream filled with real salmon and trout, as well as six kitchens, seven bedrooms, a trampoline room, a library, and a computer-controlled maple tree, for when the 50 gardeners don’t get time to look after it themselves.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
