A theme for your house
Designing dream homes in particular themes is the latest fashion. Be it a English tudor home or a Zen-theme, the idea is to look different.

Here are some fancy theme options:

Tudor homes: These are characterised by half-timbered constructions, turrets, roofs with gables and stucco walls. The windows tend to be tall and the panes small. Arched porticos and elaborate chimneys are another feature.
Zen homes: Zen homes are built on the principles of earth, wind, fire and water. These homes usually focus on creating a sense of space with oversized windows, large open spaces, and high ceilings. These homes use the effects of colour, lighting, ambient sounds and aromatherapy to bring in feeling of calmness.

Neo-modern homes: This style encompasses the quirky and the unexpected with angular forms, eclectic mixes and vivid colour combinations. Slanted walls, glass prisms and trapezoidal windows typify a neo-modern home.
