House Exterior Options
Certainly, when choosing a style for the exterior of a country house , it is necessary to take into account some factors: the climate and the features of the natural environment, the location of the house, the appearance of nearby houses (you want to "stand out from the crowd" or follow a single style) and much more. We suggest that you consider several options for the exterior of the house, probably one of them you will like.
- Exterior of the house in the style of Provence . Perhaps you do not know, but this style is one of the directions of "Country", which has French roots. The difference between pure country and Provence is that in the first case, in the interior, interior and exterior of the house, in the combination of colors, warm shades prevail, while the latter tends more towards the cold and bright palette. But the most important color of this style is white. Decorating a house in this style can not cost a lot, because all the walls are faced with natural or even artificial stone - pleasure is not cheap. Enterprising owners combine these materials with modern siding or sandwich panels.
- Exterior of the house in a classical style. Classics today is by no means a boring direction. Designers are not tired of improvising and creating new interesting options for the exteriors of country houses with the preservation of the main stylistic core. This style is more suitable for the exterior of a two-story house, because it must eventually resemble royal chambers or at least a noble family estate. The design often uses natural materials, and the main colors are light and pastel shades.
- Exterior of the house in the style of the chalet . This romantic alpine style of "shepherd's houses" attracts more and more people all over the world. Every detail is important - the shape and proportions of the foundation, the roof, the walls, the finish, the details of windows, entrance doors, balconies and terraces. Of course, it is preferable to initially plan the structure of a house in a given style, but even a ready structure can be turned into a cozy nest if desired. The main distinctive features of the style are a stone basement, wooden walls and a large gable roof. This style is rarely seen as the exterior of a single-story house, but, in principle, the presence of a second floor is not necessary.
- Russian style in the exterior of a country house . Of course, this style is ideal as an exterior of a wooden house and a house made of timber. Features of construction, in addition to wood as the main building material, are the presence of many carved details - frames, railing on the porch and veranda. Without these prototypes of the works of ancient architects, it is difficult to imagine the true "Russian style". The roof in such houses is sloping, with a scaffold in the attic.
- Art Nouveau as a variant of the exterior of the brick house . Quite tranquil style, especially a nice combination of noble brickwork and plant patterns and ornaments. This style is often accompanied by stucco, and the feature can be called smooth lines and a harmonious combination of the surrounding landscape and buildings.
Whatever you choose, try to adhere to the architectural features of the style. And it concerns not only the house itself, but all the house territory and even fencing. Then you will achieve a seamless and harmonious picture that will please the eye.
