Nice Space, Good House Design

    I ran across this photo of a nice modern bedroom space and thought I would pass it on along with a couple of thoughts.

    • Obviously the design is all about the connection with the outdoors. Floor to ceiling glass with a patio directly outside bleed the definition between outside and inside. If it was my design I might have extended the roof line outward to create a covered patio zone. This would have created a transitional space between inside and outside.
    • The room is nearly void of detail. Why distract from the view?
    • A very simple palette of material and color. The decorating takes a back seat to the outdoors.
    So what's the moral to this story? If you have a beautiful yard take advantage of it. Spend more money on glass and patio / porch space and spend less by keeping the interiors more minimal.
