Elements of Beautiful Home Design

Architectural Foundations

  • Proportional facades using the golden ratio for balanced compositions

  • Strategic window placement following solar path analysis for natural light optimization

  • Material contrasts combining at least three complementary textures (stone, wood, metal)

  • Landscape integration with hardscape-softscape ratios of 40:60 for visual balance

Interior Design Essentials

  • Cohesive color palettes using the 60-30-10 rule (dominant, secondary, accent colors)
