Bathtubs in the Bedroom? Four Unique Architectural Trends
A famous children's book called "The Big Orange Splot" tells the story of a man who lives on a street where all the houses are the same. One day, a seagull carrying a bucket of orange paint drops that paint on the man's roof. This uncanny event eventually leads every homeowner on that street to transforming their homes into distinctive and unique structures that reflect their unique personalities. "My house is me, and I am it. My house is where I like to be, and it looks like all my dreams," say the neighbors about their creative process of creating the home of their dreams.
Today, too many homes reflect the cookie-cutter designs of mass-produced structures that follow market conditions. Contractors and home builders are often more interested in fast building times and cheap building materials, which often translates into repetitive patterns with minimal touches of uniqueness. Changing the exterior cladding on your home is one way to create a different image for your home. However, the way we organize our interior space is where homeowner creativity can genuinely begin to flourish. In this short article, we offer a few ideas for uncommon, yet exceptional interior design ideas that will allow you to put a stamp of individuality on your home.

Open Closets
Most of the time, closets are small quarters that are shut away from the rest of the house. The idea, of course, is to add a bit of privacy for your belongings and keep them out of sight of guests. But who says that our possessions need to be hidden? Open closets are simply storage space incorporated directly into the wall.
There are several potential benefits associated with open closets. Firstly, closets take up a lot of square footage in homes. Walk-in closets range, in general, from 5 to 17 feet deep or even more for a bonus room style closet. Large walk-in closets reduce the amount of available space in a room. They can also significantly add to overall construction costs. By incorporating open wardrobes or closets, you will free up more space in your interior design, thus allowing for larger, more spacious rooms.
One of the drawbacks of large, enclosed closets is that they act as an enticement for consumerism. The larger the closet, the more "stuff" we need to buy to fill them up. Open closets, on the other hand, encourage minimalism and more responsible consumer habits. Instead of storing those hideous Christmas sweaters that we'll never wear again, open closets help us to live with less. If you do want a bit of privacy, retractable curtains can be added, offering a bit of discretion while not reducing available interior space. Check out these open closet ideas for small spaces.
