A distinctive feature of a European-style house is the observance of the correct geometric proportions.
Designers, starting to create such a house, lay the foundation in the form of a regular square. If the foundation is based on a rectangle, its length and width are almost the same.
Description of a traditional European-style one-story house
The basement of such houses is most often tiled - imitation stone. The main door, as a rule, is painted in a color that contrasts with the color of the walls. Small arched or rectangular windows, if necessary, are closed with shutters (window shutters are one of the main attributes of a European-style house). A symbolic staircase consisting of two or three steps leads to the central entrance.
The roof of the European-style house (pictured above) is two- or four-pitched, made of red tiles. Modern builders widely use red metal tilescolors.
One- and two-story houses are the most sought after
A one-story house is considered an example of Euro-style, but modern builders have modified the usual pattern by adding another floor. Projects of two-story houses and cottages in the European style are very much in demand today. But this does not mean at all that the one-story house is a thing of the past. Such structures are still being designed and are in demand.
European-style house interior design
When planning the interior space of a Euro-home, a specialist first of all thinks about efficiency. Modern housing should be associated with spaciousness. The main task of the planner is to place all the furniture and utensils necessary for the residents so that it takes up as little space as possible.

Nevertheless, a two-story house resembling a regular rectangle is not onlyin demand among families of three to four people, but also quite economical financially.
A reminder that, despite the association with the Middle Ages, the house is built in a modern style, are facades treated with several types of cladding materials of the latest sample.

The second floor has three bedrooms (one with a dressing room) and a shared bathroom.
A classic example of a "family nest"
What family doesn't dream of a warm and cozy one-story country house!
A country house, rebuilt in European style and designed for family holidays, must be equipped with an extension reserved for a garage. The windows of the modern suburban Euro-house, according to tradition, are decorated with natural wood shutters, and the living room has a fireplace.
Opening the front door, the owners enter the hall, which overlooks the living room and dining room. The kitchen, pantry and bathroom, when necessary, can be hidden from prying eyes. It all depends on the intentions of the owners. The house also has two bedrooms and an office.

Minimalism doesn't mean lack of comfort

The inhabitants of a modern home are surrounded by a minimal amount of multifunctional furniture and other attributes that provide a sense of comfort.
