Exterior House Design Ideas

Are you planning of owning a house one day? Are you looking for an inspiration to build that dream house of yours? Well then, we've got what you're looking for.

Today, we're going to be giving you some of the best house inspirations for your very own dream house. First, let's set our preferences. Personally speaking, I like the spacious modern minimalist. But this is now. Back in the days I now I want tiny houses and the log cabin types. One thing in particular that I remained constant - I love wood. Any house design with of wood is perfect. Take a look at some of the houses that I've showcased in my previous posts, wood is very prominent in them.

Enough talking. Let's get to some of the house design ideas I was talking to you about.

This simple modern house is my thing. I like the high ceiling and the floor to ceiling windows to match it. My hubby says this idea isn't really safe at all. Well, true-true that is why I highly advice that you do a lot of research of the area where you live before you re-create this house idea. You know, some things may be worth replicating such as pretty houses like these, but when it's your safety that's at stake, then you might as well just let it go. No, the curtains won't help you.

Who would've thought that glass jalousies would look this good. My grandma's house in the province used to have wooden jalousie windows. We all hated it. Because it looked like we're inside a nursery classroom. Well, come to think of it, my grandma was indeed a teacher in nursery school. Makes a lot more sense now. Ha-ha.

So, about this house. The glass jalousie helped create the illusion of more space inside, right? You see, when the furniture you have inside the house looks stuffy, everything else that surrounds it shouldn't. Else, your house will look altogether stuffy. You don't want that, right?

A kitchen that opens to the patio? Why not! Personally, I love my kitchen. And kitchen space is as important as every other part of the house.

One thing I love about modern architecture is their brilliant ways to work with the angles of the house to allow more light to come inside the house. This house was created with a space at the center that has the open sky for the ceiling. This open space allows light to come in in every part of the house. It's brilliant right? Well, this may not be a good idea for some, but you can't deny  there's the energy-saving idea here. Also, rooftop access anytime!

I must proclaim that exterior stone wall house design is my thing now. Just look at this house. So, what is the thing about having a stone wall, you might ask. Everything. Based on research stone walls are more durable and more affordable than any materials out there. Stone walls can withstand weather conditions. Although, some of you might be able to help us answer our own question on heat/cold insulation with this type of wall option.

Here's one exterior house design that I really love. This house just has a lot of space in it, don't you think? from the inside you can already have a peak at the living room at the left, the kitchen at the middle back and the study room on the right. The patio is also something to talk about too. If you have guests that loves the outdoors then they'll be a  constant visitor at your place. Smokers will also have more reasons to hang around outside.

Another angle of the house shows the bedroom at the left hand side. You might also want to note the landscaping of this house. Absolutely perfect, if you ask me. I also like that the outside is well lit as much as it is on the inside. The kids and your dogs won't have trouble playing outside while the adults chatter the night away.

I like the play of colors in the exterior wall paint of this house.
