This Twitter Page Shouts Out The Best Examples Of Home Design (30 Pics)
With all the interior design fails and questionable structural inspections that we've covered during the years, I say it's time we balance them out a little bit.
So let's take a look at the Twitter account 'Aesthetic Designs', a fun little online project that collects pictures from all over the internet to show the pretty side of architecture and interior design. Whether we're talking about concepts or real-life examples, cozy off-the-grid cabins or luxurious bedrooms, it has it all.
The regular uploads have earned 'Aesthetic Designs' 127K followers. If you like the images below, consider joining the squad well. There's no drama or anything. Just eye-pleasing buildings and spaces.

Plants, check. Skylight, check. Nice shower, check. Where can I check in for such a dream place?
To get a better idea of what to expect from 'Aesthetic Designs', let's take a look at what Michelle Ogundehin predicts for the world of interior design in 2022.
Originally trained as an architect and the former Editor-in-Chief of ELLE Decoration UK, Ogundehin is the Head Judge on the BBC's Interior Design Masters, and the author of Happy Inside: How to Harness the Power of Home for Health and Happiness, a game-changing guide to living well.
She is also a regular contributor to many prestigious publications, including Vogue Living, FT How to Spend It magazine, and Dezeen.

I get why it could make some people feel that way, but for me it makes me feel creative. Almost as if the space leaves room for me and provides constant functionally for me to create. Hope that makes sense.

looks nice, but I bet it's difficult to heat and all this open space would make me uncomfortable.

I can hear the echoing already and the sound of the AC coming on canceling the tv or music sounds. Also looks hard to cool and heat.

All that gorgeous space! Elbow room and sunshine, perfect for green stuff to grow. Draw the curtains at night for a totally different vibe (but still spacious).

With a room that large, you need color. This just looks cold and lonely, not inviting and cozy.
"At the end of my last trends report, I proposed 2021 as 'the year for the interiors equivalent of speaking your own truth' understanding 'that the best homes are about the feeling they give you not the stuff they contain, the 'right' colors or 'hot' looks,' Ogundehin wrote.
"The most poignant of these was that we are all products of our environment. And we were making a right mess of ours. Not just on the wider climate scale, but also domestically. I'd even written a book drawing a direct line between our homes and our health: Happy Inside: How to Harness the Power of Home for Health and Happiness. It was published as the first waves of Covid hit UK shores, but conceived way before the word pandemic had entered the popular lexicon."
Its message was a simple one: what surrounds you affects you. "While many of us know this intuitively, for the scientifically inclined, there's a Stanford University study that proves environment is more important than genetics in determining the strength of your immune system," Ogundehin highlighted.

The company that made this specializes in modular homes so you can connect the hamster tubes to make whatever style you want. They are both energy efficient and designed to include the flora/fauna where they are located to minimize impact. I've seen one that's based on a hobbit hole with most of it buries but with two small towers leading to above ground areas as well.They use the natural movement of the sun and geothermal properties of the ground to maintain temperature year round with modules sticking out specifically to absorb and release radiant energy.
"Albeit I'm leaping to the assumption that the bosses of our worst air, water, and plastic polluting corporations (China Coal and Saudi Aramco to Coca-Cola, Pepsico, and Unilever among others) start focusing their might on species survival rather than lucrative personal tenures. Things are happening, but too slowly," she said.
"Regardless, my faith still rests with the power of the everyman and the nudges for change we can make as individuals. A 2020 report by the IBM Institute for Business Value showed that six out of 10 consumers are ready to change their purchasing behavior to minimize their environmental footprint. This has power because options exist, consumers switch and such direct impact on corporate bottom lines forces change."
Ogundehin is positive that the most incredible opportunities already exist for us and every single brand can be a game-changing trailblazer for the greater good.

Beautiful, but with all insects in jungle, should be an inside architecture/design less "close", more "open". I know an architect who build a house like a bunker (yes, I know, a ugly house...) near a jungle in Mexico. He need to call exterminators for spiders and insects each 3 month, and need to leave his house during 3 days to wait for the job be done.

Nothing to get excited about here unless you like black and living in the dark. A few light exceptions but again nothing great.

Few of these look COMFORTABLE. Just dark and cold and sharp edged. For people who want to live in a modern art installation, I guess.

Agreed. A home should be cozy and inviting. These aren't.

Eh, most of these are boring... either too white and harsh and sterile, or too dark.. also, just because its "modern" doesn't mean it's a nice aesthetic, at least not to me, personally.

I have to conclude that designers are people who have never actually lived in a house ever, and have never had to clean one. Like, these 5 meter (15 feet) tall fixed glass windows on the top floor. Especially the ones that are going to end up covered in tree sap and insects, someone has to clean them, regularly, or else it looks horrible. Every time somebody goes up and down the stairs when there's a glass rail, there are going to be fingerprints. All that glass is just ridiculous if you can't easily access it to clean it.

Meh. Not only do most of these look like a 1960s concept of what a 2000s house would look like, only a billionaire could afford them. You can keep 'em.

How do you heat, or cool, these monsters? Most of the examples are from a bygone era.
Demi Zwaan 2 years ago
They don't care. The owners are rich, they just turn on the heating or cooling and it works. Doesn't matter what it costs, money or environmental wise.

It's impressive to see all the top design houses, designed, decorated and made for the millionaires. But all I see is lack of warmth, personality, coziness and color. Even if I had millions to spend on a home, I would never buy such a big box and would definitely not decorate it so imporsonal and minimalistic.

I read a lot of these architecture articles, and I am starting to notice there is a fine line between "brilliant" and "pretentious." It would be sad to miss excellence by a centimeter and be mocked for the rest of your life.

Looking at most of these, makes me feel better about living in a standard 3bdrm townhouse. Personnally, I want a livingroom to be just that - not an ad for high price uncomfortable furniture that nobody wants to sit on. I want a bedroom that I'd be happy to spend the day in bed reading in, with neat things like a night stand for, you know, stuff! Like a drink, glasses, cell phone... So forth & so on.

What most of these have in common is a fabulous location leading to fabulous views. As isolated as most of them appear to be, they are probably 2nd/vacation homes. Placed in a regular residential neighborhood, these open floor plans with tons of windows would totally lose their appeal. I know that designing these homes was probably a blast for the architects involved, but the challenge is to create life enhancing dwellings in the places most humans actually live.

None of them really do it for me TBH. Too angular/ geometric shapes with sofas for looks not comfort. I also like open space around me so many kind of feel claustrophobic to me even if it's trees not other houses.

So. Much. Glass. Are they not afraid some weirdo will be watching them?! There's no privacy at all. Even in the middle of a remote location I'd still feel vulnerable with all the huge windows.
