If you still remember your parents’ or grandparents’ traditional-style house, surely the walls in that house were filled with decorations. This method of course also applies if you want to have a house with a strong traditional feel. Decorate the walls with various things such as photo frames, calligraphy, mirrors, artwork, or displays of scarves and batik.

If you still have remaining land that can be cultivated, bring more natural elements into your house. For example, create a fish pond. Fish ponds provide relaxation to householders when they feel fed up and bored. However, make sure that you really have the intention to care for the fish before making a pond. Don’t let the pool not be maintained well.

Usually, the walls of traditional houses use neutral colors such as white and cream. However, to emphasize its traditional and natural side combined the walls with other natural materials such as brick walls and wood. Placed wooden elements on any side of the wall, such as the living room, family room, or bedroom. Apart from that, brick walls will look more lively and aesthetically pleasing when applied to areas exposed to sunlight.

To provide a warm atmosphere in the house that we often encounter in traditional residences, you can also use lights that glow warm white. Because it is possible to make a room feel hotter, place warm white lights in good air circulation areas, such as gardens, terraces, balconies, and living rooms.

If you look in more detail, traditional houses usually have a unique design and are not bored. In contrast to modern house ceilings which tend to be flat, traditional house ceilings tend to have unusual shapes that suit their style. There are sloping ceilings, wooden materials, square patterns, and many more that apply to your home.
