The end of the year is the time to take stock. We have also prepared and collected for you. It was excruciatingly difficult to choose the TOP 10: we either argued about the best facade, then included another house in the list and changed the TOP 10 to the TOP 20. In the end, we still managed to choose the top ten.
1. Lovely family home
Opening the list of beautiful homes will be this Californian dream. Located on a narrow plot, it is divided into two parts, which are connected by a patio. The ground floor of the first house occupies the open space of the living room, kitchen and dining room. Thanks to sliding doors, this space can be easily combined with patios, thus creating a luxurious seating area.
How about a two-story high fireplace? Just awesome!
2. American dream
The combination of blue tiles and white window frames looks great! It's amazing how the McAlpine Tankersley Architecture company, which restored, parted with their work 🙂 To be more precise, these are two houses that are united by a common porch.
Surely a large family lives or will live here, maybe two generations. Or maybe the second house is a guest house?
3. Beautiful house on the lake
This one is surrounded by forest on one side and a lake on the other. Thanks to panoramic windows, the surrounding nature continues in the interior, which is characterized by simplicity. Watching the change of year from such a cozy place is a real pleasure 😉
4. One of the most beautiful houses in the world
This is the work of architects Concepto Arquitectura. Like the previous one, it has a laconic design, which is connected with the desire of designers to make natural beauty the main focus in the interior. Thanks to the abundant glazing, this became possible.
5. Luxurious coastal style home
Peter Cadoux Architects as always on top! Modern with traditional design is, of course, their forte.
6. Stone house with a minimalist design
Restoration and restoration was carried out by a professional team of architects and designers. Having expanded an old building in one of the national parks in the UK, they set about creating a modern interior. Moreover, the combination of a traditional facade and a minimalist style looks very harmonious.
7. Huge house for $ 11 million
Impressive is not only the cost, but also the scale of this. Six bedrooms, several living rooms, open and closed terraces - there is definitely something to see here.
8. Stunning wooden house in the mountains
Well, who does not dream of a holiday somewhere in the mountains? The owners of such a dream can be safely called the lucky ones.
9. Beautiful house on Lake Muskoka
Coastal houses always carry a special charm. This one is located in Ontario, Canada, right on the shore of a lake accessed by a stone path. The interior of the house is filled with marine motifs, thanks to which you want to forget about the everyday bustle and just relax.
10. Cozy house in Canada
This classic representative of the world is the best way to complete today's collection of beautiful houses.
Do not forget that thoughts are material, so dream about the most daring! We hope this TOP 10 has inspired you to do so!

Are there universal criteria by which you should choose the decor of a kitchen or apartment? Of course no. Each apartment, each room is unique, and therefore needs a thorough study of its features.

To update, for example, a living room, it is enough to replace textiles (curtains, blankets, tablecloths), decorate walls and shelves with a couple of new decorations (pictures and figurines) similar to textiles in style, and instead of the usual wooden coffee table, use a funny pouffe of a catchy shade - " lively” and the colorful interior is ready.

Much more fortunate than the residents of apartments: they can experiment and embody the most daring ideas. And to make your home not only cozy, but also beautiful and stylish, think over its design and dream up. And what can be beautiful houses?
So what are the qualities of a beautiful home?
- Comfort. Even if the dwelling is ultra-modern, stylish, bright and luxurious, but at the same time devoid of comfort, it will not be perceived as beautiful, especially by those who live in it.
- Freedom of space. Surely many will agree that a cramped house a priori cannot be beautiful and even more comfortable.
- Harmony. It should be traced in everything and be a fundamental feature. And in order to achieve harmony and balance, choose the appropriate design style and range, as well as competently organize the space by placing all the necessary elements in it.
- Uniqueness. In modern residential complexes under construction or finished, you can see numerous houses: similar to each other and absolutely identical. Individuality is lost, and the buildings look ordinary, as if stamped.
- Not the most important, but still possible quality of a beautiful house is compliance with fashion trends. In 2017, unusual shapes and free planning are relevant.
How to make your home beautiful?
Everyone dreams of a beautiful house, and it is quite possible to make it that way if you make some efforts and put your soul into the design. Below are a few simple steps that will lead you to your goal.
Location
Uniform style
A harmonious modern house should be decorated in the same style, and it is desirable that both the interior and the exterior, that is, both the interior and the facade, be sustained in it. Otherwise, there will be a feeling of disharmony, which will spoil the overall impression and appearance.
When choosing a style, you should be guided by your preferences, because your property should be beautiful first of all for you, since you spend most of your time in it. But if you want to follow global design trends, then pay attention to such areas as discreet classics, laconic minimalism, cozy chalet, rough loft, natural eco-style, cutting-edge hi-tech, extraordinary modern, bright pop art.
Beauty starts from the front
The first impression of the house is formed when looking at it from the outside, that is, from the outside. And so the first thing you should pay attention to is the facade. Today there are many options for its design, and here are some of them:
- Wood is a noble natural material, personified with comfort and warmth. It also has good features.
- Natural or artificial stone will give the facade the features of a chic castle, but at the same time will be in line with modern trends.
- A classic and still popular option is facing brick.
- Decorative plaster will make the facade stylish and attractive, giving the surface a pleasant texture.
- A practical and modern option is siding. Such material will not only protect the facade, but also allow you to experiment with colors and textures.
- An unusual solution would be to combine several materials. For example, the lower part of the facade can be overlaid with stone, and the upper part can be covered with plaster. In this case, you will receive both protection against moisture and condensation, and a bright style.
Tip: If the facade looks ordinary and boring, decorate it with a bright image or appliqué made of wood, stone or other material.
Landscape
No less important is the landscape of the site, because it most directly affects the perception. And to make the house look presentable and attractive, ennoble the territory. First of all, make a plan and divide the site into zones. As elements, you can use plants and compositions from them, ponds, statues, and so on.
Interior
You and your guests will see the house from the inside, so you should approach the design of its interior very responsibly. If the style is selected, proceed to the layout. Its main tasks should be comfort, orderliness, unity and maximum space. If possible, discard the numerous partitions and doors. Finishes, furnishings and decor should be harmonious, practical and modern.

Skyscraper Aqua. Chicago.
The building has won many awards and prizes, so it rightfully occupies a leading position in the ranking of the best houses of our time.
The height of the skyscraper is 250 meters. The design of the facade consists of balconies and ledges, unevenly spaced. This gives the impression that water is flowing through the skyscraper, and the smooth blue glass from which the house is built makes it look like a vertical reservoir.
2nd place. 
Pillars of Hercules. Spain.
Two towers created in the spirit of ancient traditions and modern architectural trends. This is a light and charming building, with openwork walls and intricate design. The architect recreated an imitation of the columns that stood near the Bay of Gibraltar in ancient times. They were emblazoned with the Spanish translation of the phrase "Edge of the World." The same inscription is on the Pillars of Hercules.
3rd place. 
Trump's sail. Chicago.
A giant skyscraper 415 meters high. Considered one of the tallest houses in the world. It has 96 floors, a dog walking area, swimming pools, apartments and offices. Each window is 12 pounds high. The huge building is designed in the form of a sailboat and it seems as if the skyscraper is floating along the canal.
4th place. 
Wooden house. State of Oregon, USA.
This representative of modern architecture was created by American architect Robert Harvey Ochats. Most of his creations are most beautiful houses in the world but this mansion is especially good. It is located in a picturesque park and is naturally woven into the landscape. The house is built entirely of wood, its features are smooth, fluid, intricate. From the side, you might think that this is not a house, but a gnarled tree. However, in the middle of the mansion, everything is done with modern comfort.
5th place. 
Birdhouse house. New Zealand.
An amazing tree house, at a height of ten meters. Its openwork walls are enlightened, so the house does not need windows. When the lights are turned on in the rooms, the outside of the house becomes like a flashlight.
6th place. 
Cave Villa. Malibu, USA.
The mansion is made in the spirit of the Flintstone family from the cartoon of the same name. From the outside, it resembles a prehistoric dwelling of cavemen, and in the middle, the stone ethnic style of the interior is complemented by modern decor.
7th place. 
Museum with living walls. Paris.
The gray and uncomplicated building of the Parisian museum owes its transformation to Patrick Blanc. The artist has already become famous for his "live" paintings and now he decided to add a little juiciness to gray Paris. Thanks to his diligence and modern technologies, the walls of the house turned green. Now they are decorated with various types of mosses and other evergreens, and tourists can watch a flowering meadow in the middle of a city street.
8th place. 
Jungle hotel. Chile.
The building, amazing in beauty and architecture, is located in the vicinity of a dormant Chilean volcano. It has a conical shape and the walls are overgrown with vines. Instead of the usual elevators and stairs, suspension bridges lead to the upper floors. The hotel offers views of the jungle and waterfall.
9th place. 
Stone mansion. Portugal.
This house has long lost its owner, but it is still considered a unique building. The author of the idea is Vitor Rodriguez from Portugal, who decided to fit housing between ancient boulders. From the outside, the house looks like a prehistoric building, but inside it has a modern design.
10th place. 
House at Bear Creek. Pittsburgh, USA.
It was built in the thirties of the last century. The uniqueness of the house is that the construction did not affect nature, which was difficult, since it is located above the waterfall. The architect of the mansion, Frank Lloyd Wright, became the founder of organic architecture, and the building itself is valued as a monument of American history.
