This is because they allow you to oversee every detail of the design. You can base your own home on a plethora of architectural styles. The one we are going to focus on here is the Craftsman style.Craftsman homes share similarities to bungalows. The peak of their popularity was between 1905 and the 1930s. People favour them for their simplistic and honest design. Some see them as a backlash against previous intricate houses, including the Victorian style.

The Craftsman's features

These homes prefer to use natural materials. Examples include brick, stone, and wood. They are typically also symmetrical. This makes them relatively easy to spot.Another notable feature is their low-pitch roofs. These often have overhanging eaves and gables.Many of the homes also have wide front porches. They typically possess tapered pedestals or columns that extend to the ground level.Other common characteristics are the handcrafted woodwork and stone. In terms of colour combinations, the Craftsman lends itself to some unique ones. For example they may have green or brown roofs as well as brown, yellow, red or even green walls.

Interior

The interiors of Craftsman homes are compact but open. This fosters family interaction. It permits superior traffic flows as well. One hallmark of these houses is the built-in furniture. They normally also come with exposed beams/rafters and huge fireplaces.
