Living in urban areas with high density can increase stress and cause uncomfortable feelings every day. That’s why many city people spend their time vacationing in nature. The reason is definitely to calm the mind from the hustle and bustle of the city.

On the other hand, a house with a traditional atmosphere can actually be the answer to these problems. Traditional houses describe the beauty and are close to nature. Even though you are in the middle of the city with a narrow land, you can still make a house with a traditional feel.

Garden in front of the house
A traditional house design always has a wide yard in front of the house. However, if the land area is not too wide, there is no need to force it. Instead, provide a green grassy garden filled with plants and trees in the front area of the house. This garden certainly not only has attractive visuals from the front of the house but also makes the inside of the house shady. Gardens provide freshness, filter dirty air, and prevent heat in the house.

Sloping roof
Sloping roofs are close to traditional house designs. The sloping roof with wide eaves functions to prevent heat from outside the house. The higher the roof and the higher the distance between the floor and the roof, the cooler the house will be. However, don’t forget to consider the cost and visual aspects. To add a traditional feel, consider using clay tiles as a roof for your house.

Ornaments on doors and furniture
One of the striking differences between traditional style house designs and minimalist house designs which are now becoming a trend is the details. If a minimalist house prioritizes a design with minimal ornamentation, the opposite is true for a traditional style. The more details and ornaments used, the more traditional the house will look. These ornaments are applied to door openings, windows, furniture, ceilings, and so on. As much as possible, choose a similar type of ornament so that the house design doesn’t look messy.
