What is European architecture and is it right for you?
The rustic, warm and cozy design style is a style that has gained great popularity in Israel, and certainly in recent years. Home and apartment owners are seeking to design their intimate retreat according to the principles of rustic design, even when it comes to an apartment located in the center of a busy city. They want to create a quiet and intimate space for themselves, and when they imagine the final result, they see in their minds the classic European houses in the picturesque villages of France or Italy, for example. So, just before you choose the perfect design style for you, it is worth identifying what European architecture is, what characterizes it, and whether it may also suit your personal taste.
European architecture varies by region
In order to best define European architecture, it is worth distinguishing between the architectural styles that dominate the different regions of Europe. This is because each region has its own unique character, and accordingly, clear differences can be identified in terms of the dominant colors or the raw materials used for planning and construction purposes. In Provence-style houses, cooler colors (white or gray) will dominate, while in Tuscan style, the colors are much warmer (brown, for example). In Tuscany, we will also recognize natural raw materials in their original form, while in Provence these materials undergo a certain refinement that gives them a different and unique appearance.
Country style versus modern style
The country style, which characterizes European or colonial architecture, is a style that is distinctly different from the modern style we know today. This is how we can distinguish the square modern houses, with their narrow windows and minimalist interior design. On the other hand, the country style is essentially different, and we will see the decorated wood, the large windows and the exposed ceilings. These are the small and significant details that turn the space hidden between the four walls into a spectacular, cozy and very inviting home. However, the choice of elements and different shades will usually be made at a later stage, and even before we get there, it is worth understanding whether this is the right style for you, and what the perfect home will look like at the end of the joint work process.
House planning and design – defining goals
