Finding the Right Balancing between Comfort and Style
It’s one thing to have a great plan for comfort and a great plan for style but an entirely different thing for these two plans to intersect seamlessly. This intersection is the key to creating a house that is both visually appealing and comfortable.
Achieving this can be difficult especially when designing a modern lake home. Though difficult, it’s however possible to achieve this if you are careful to note how design elements such as furniture, lighting, and textiles can be both stylish and comfortable. For example, a modern sectional sofa can provide both style and comfort, while a statement lighting fixture can add interest to a space while also providing ample lighting.
In truth, combining style and comfort is all about finding the right balance. For instance, for your modern lake house decor, comfortable furniture and textiles such as soft throws and pillows can blend well with strategically placed artwork or unique lighting fixtures to accentuate both comfort and style while complementing each other. In the same vein, you can use natural materials like a natural wood coffee table to show stylish and also provide warmth to a space.
Creating a Smooth Connection with the Outdoors
This is a critical element that should be an integral part of a modern lake house plan. It’s important because it helps you take advantage of the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. Since creating a seamless connection with the outdoors is crucial to the design of a modern lake house, we’ll quickly look at a few pointers that can help you achieve this:
Maximize the View
The view in a lake house is one of the most important factors to consider. Large windows, glass doors, and skylights are great options for bringing in natural light and maximizing your view to the beauty of the natural surroundings. The placement of windows and doors should be done such that it takes advantage of the best views from different areas of the house.
Add Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor living spaces such as decks, patios, and balconies can also be used to create a flowing connection with the outdoors. These spaces will provide a place where you and your family can relax and enjoy the natural surroundings of the lake. Of course, you’ll need to add appropriate outdoor furniture, such as comfortable seating and dining areas, to make this outdoor space more appealing.
Use Natural Materials
Using natural materials such as wood, stone, and glass can help create a smooth transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces of a modern lake house. Use materials that are commonly found in the surrounding environment to create a sense of cohesion between the indoor and outdoor spaces. For example, using natural stone or wood on a patio or deck can help create a blend with the surrounding landscape.
Incorporate Water Features
Design features and facilities like fountains, pools, or hot tubs can help to create a connection with the lake and surrounding environment. Because of their cohesion with the immediate environment, they provide a sense of tranquility and relaxation, making house feel like a true retreat.
