This Group Celebrates The Most Beautiful Dream Homes And Here Are The 12 Best

Why do people put so much importance on having a beautiful home? Well, for starters, a cozy and nice environment can help reduce stress. When we come back home after a stressful day, we want to return to a haven. For some, that’s a little cottage surrounded by lots of greenery. For others, it might be a modern house with a sleek design.

Whatever it is – we all like aesthetically pleasing things. And so does this online community that’s dedicated to beautiful houses. Their mission statement is simple: they want houses to be more beautiful. Whether that’s through home design, architecture, interior, or decorating.

The r/beautiful_houses community is not particularly big yet, but it still boasts a considerable 20k members. They link the Most Beautiful Houses In The World blog as one of their main sources. The website features everything from modern homes to famous ancient buildings. And it's not all about the exterior and the architecture. They also welcome innovative interior design and decor ideas.

What is a beautiful home? Let's see how interior designers and architects define it. Designer Anne Lubner quotes Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, saying that there is no place like home. "I define a beautiful home as one that pleases the souls of the people who live there. It's a feeling of comfort, of feeling in tune with your surroundings."

For architect Peter Mason, a beautiful home blends in with its natural surroundings. "For an architect, spectacular scenery is always both a challenge and an opportunity. It demands that the land should speak for itself.

Even the smallest of homes on the most modest of budgets can become part of the wider expanse. It makes little difference whether it's a small part of the wider landscape or an enclosed jewel in the cityscape."

Interior designer Julie Rawding might sound quite radical, but she believes that a beautiful home is "the most important thing" one can do for themselves. The designers at Krista + Home list some reasons why.

First, we spend a lot of time in our homes, especially those who work from home. Second, we socialize with our family and close friends there. And lastly, we do most of our self-care rituals at home, be it meditating, taking a nap, reading a book, or taking a bubble bath.

We often associate the aesthetic value of a house with money. It's logical: the more improvements you want to make to make it more beautiful, the more money you have to pay. If we were to measure a house's beauty by how much it's worth, Buckingham Palace would then be the most beautiful house in the world – as of 2023, it was worth $4.9 billion. However, keep in mind that it is not privately owned.
