By purchasing land plot, a lot of ideas are probably born in my head, how the future home will look like on it. But build beautiful house quite difficult on its own. In most cases, a lot of the work is done by professionals, but the owner still has to make the biggest decisions, from the overall layout and style to the minor interior finishing work. In order to inspire you and equip you with some important knowledge, we have made in this article a selection of descriptions of what beautiful houses look like and their photos inside and out. We hope our publication will help to find answers to important questions.

Beautiful home: creating a project and choosing a style

Of course, before we start construction works, it is necessary to draw up a plan for the location of the house, taking into account possible additional buildings. A beautiful home does not have to be decorated in any particular style. At present, there is a tendency towards a reasonable mixing of various directions with the presence of a dominant one. It is also necessary to determine the materials for construction and finishing work.

A beautiful house can merge in style with the surrounding buildings, or carry personality traits. The photos presented in our article show that the color palette of buildings is also not limited.

It is important to consider the number of storeys of the house, as well as the functional purpose of all rooms, the presence of balconies and terraces, as well as the location of the bathroom and kitchen, since communications will be laid during the construction process.

On the examples of our photos, you can get acquainted with what comfortable and beautiful houses are, the projects of which are drawn up by professional designers. It is possible that among them there is a suitable option.

We make beautiful facades of houses

The first thing that catches your eye in the backyard is the facade of the house, so it should be given Special attention. It's kind of, business card house, which is the first impression of the building and the family living in it. Even a large beautiful house with an inconspicuous facade will lose its aesthetic value. In the design, there are many options with the possibility of using both natural and artificial materials for decoration. In the photo you can see how majestic the facade of the house looks with natural stone trim.

Beautiful facades of houses are obtained using decorative plaster. This design makes it possible to paint the surface in any color, and also, over time, repaint it, changing in some way the boring design.

An economical cladding method is siding and wood paneling. The wooden facade will look simple, but rather neat and successfully emphasize the modern style of the building. A beautiful house with tile or natural stone siding, as shown in the photo, will have a rather original look.

Finishing with facing bricks or clinker tiles will be one of the most expensive. Using various color combinations of clinker tiles, you can decorate the most beautiful houses, photos of which can be seen in our article.

In the design of facades, the use of various combinations of materials is allowed. The main thing is that they are in harmony with each other.

Beautiful country houses: the choice of material for construction

As mentioned earlier, the choice of material is one of the most important aspects of construction. Beautiful private houses can be built from wood, brick, concrete and other materials. Consider some of the most relevant options in modern construction.

Beautiful wooden houses

This material has been used for the construction of dwellings for centuries and fully justifies itself, since wooden buildings have a special presentable appearance. The tree harmonizes very well with nature, so beautiful country houses are often built from it. In the photo you can see similar buildings made of timber, logs or boards.

In addition to external beauty, natural wood has other advantages, such as durability, environmental friendliness, thermal conductivity and moisture resistance. As for the interior decoration, we can safely say that beautiful wooden houses (there is a photo inside in our article), which have wood trim, are very comfortable and practical. The unique texture of the material gives the interior space an individual aesthetic look.

Beautiful private houses made of concrete

The use of concrete slabs significantly speeds up and reduces the cost of the construction process, compared with wooden structures. Using concrete, you can build beautiful private houses (photos below) in modern styles such as minimalism, loft or high-tech. In order to give such a design visual lightness, panoramic windows are often used. You can also veneer the facades with other finishing materials.

The most beautiful brick houses

The most intricate designs can be laid out using brickwork. Brick beautiful houses (you can also find a photo outside in our article) may have original protruding elements and columns on the facade. This material allows you to build a building in any of the architectural styles: from a chic classic mansion to a small Swiss house. The use of clinker bricks in construction will ensure reliable structural strength. It is worth noting that this type of brick has amazing decorative properties, which allows you to build the most beautiful houses.

Frame beautiful house: design features

Significant differences in construction have frame structures. It can be both a small building and a large beautiful house. The advantages boil down to the fact that the buildings are easy to redevelop, there are no restrictions on the placement of rooms, and the layout can be any.

Beautiful house: we decide on the number of floors

The number of storeys of a future building may depend on several factors. Firstly, on who exactly will live in the house. For example, for a family with small children or for a couple of elderly people, the best option would be one-story structures, since the absence of stairs will ensure safety and ease of transition through living quarters. A two-story beautiful house (and above) will be a profitable solution when the family is quite large, and also if the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site is small, and it makes sense to build it not in breadth, but up. And, of course, the personal preferences of the owners are the main determinant of the future design.

Beautiful one-story houses

Nowadays, designers are developing such original and beautiful houses, the projects of which are envious even among the owners of "multi-storey" buildings. In addition, such construction will be much cheaper and will allow you to spend the saved money on the purchase of modern materials for the design of a beautiful facade, terrace or attic. Beautiful one-story houses, the photos of which we see, may have large panoramic windows or full glazing of one of the walls, which looks very aesthetically pleasing and original.

Not inferior in beauty and houses with "broken" forms with protruding dining rooms, bedrooms and kitchens, which are very cozy in appearance.

A well-thought-out beautiful house can be quite compact, and at the same time have many exits, outbuildings, bay windows and other architectural forms that will provide comfortable accommodation for multifunctional zones.

An extensive terrace can be equipped not only at the entrance to the house, but also around its entire perimeter. This a good option for those who like to spend more time in nature.
Often, recently, you can find houses with a flat roof, which allows you to equip a recreation area, install solar panels and so on.

Two-storey beautiful houses

An additional second floor provides more opportunities for implementing architectural ideas, in particular, arranging a beautiful balcony or a “French window” with wide panoramic windows. Two-story beautiful houses, the projects of which we see in the photo, are quite popular in urban construction, since the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe plots is small, and neighboring buildings can “hange” over a low one-story building. Their design can be quite diverse, as well as the list of materials used in construction.

The most successful are considered beautiful private houses with an attic and a veranda, which will greatly decorate the exterior of the building and bring a touch of elegance to the facade.

As a rule, the first floor is intended for a joint holiday with the whole family or the arrival of guests. There is a large living room, possibly combined with a kitchen. The second floor is reserved for individual spaces: bedrooms, children's rooms, etc.

In our article you will find two-story beautiful houses, their photos inside and out, as well as beautiful views from balconies and attics.

• comfort and as much space as possible;
• harmony of external forms, interior decoration and the surrounding landscape;

Such buildings are convenient for car owners, first of all, because in the cold season there is no need to go out into the cold to get to the garage. Access to it is carried out directly from the dwelling. Examples can be seen in our photo gallery:

Arrangement of a veranda attached to a cottage

There are a lot of materials for making such as a veranda. It can be made of brick, wood or glass. You can also stretch the roof of the cottage, thereby combining it with a veranda. In this case, the usable attic area will be slightly larger.

Good to know! Do not confuse a veranda with a terrace, which can be built on the side of a residential building and have absolutely no weather protection. The veranda, on the other hand, has a roof that protects it from snow, rain or hail and is an integral part of the entire building.

Examples of cottages with verandas are shown in the photo below:

Architectural elements of the facade and their use in construction

The cottage on the site will compare favorably with neighboring buildings if various architectural elements are used during its construction, for example:

• Gables;
• bay windows;
• Spiers;
• Dome roof structures.

We will understand what they are and how to implement them. But first, it is worth remembering other elements of the facade that are used less frequently.

Gables: what is it

They call triangular (less often semicircular) elements. Their border is framed by roof slopes and a cornice. This word came from the Latin "frons", "frontis", which means the forehead or the front of the wall. Nowadays, gables are used everywhere on buildings with gable roofs, but often they are simply painted to match the color of the buildings. An interesting solution would be to decorate the pediment with carvings or stucco.

Bay window and its purpose

The bay window is made in the form of a ledge with a window on the facade, which allows not only to decorate appearance but also increase the area of ​​the room. Glazing of a bay window is best done around the perimeter, which will give additional natural light to the room.

The spire as the return of a forgotten architectural element

A spire is a cone- or pyramid-shaped roof elongated upwards. Such elements are also called tents, but if you think about it, the spire is more elongated upwards, while the tent is squat. In our time, the definition of both has blurred. This means that both names will be correct.
