Currently the architectural design for residential has been growing and varied. Some apply a futuristic concept with a unique building model.

There are also those who choose the application of a minimalist concept, as the form that is most in demand by everyone in building a house today.

Although the modern minimalist concept has always been loved by most people, the current application of traditional housing has not been completely extinguished.

There are indeed various types of traditional Indonesian houses, ranging from traditional Javanese houses, Balinese houses, to all regions in Indonesia which have their own characteristics.

A traditional-style house can actually be an interesting idea for residential design, you know!

If you are bored with the same house model, there is nothing wrong with trying a traditional home style as a new breakthrough.

Moreover, if you dig deeper, actually traditional houses are no less interesting than modern architecture.

Traditional designs are in fact very widely used by various resorts and 5-star hotels as the main reference in design.

Interesting right?

Of course, you can apply traditional accents for housing to create a more beautiful home atmosphere and of course thick with cultural elements.

If you are still confused about how to apply the concept of a traditional house at home, here are tips that you can use as a reference to create an ethnic and attractive dwelling:

Highlight Traditional Ethnic Elements on the Facade
The front of the house is actually a fairly important part in a dwelling as well as the first seen by others.

Therefore, it is important to start paying attention to the front of the house or the facade of the house.

The concept of housing can also be seen starting from this section. So you can highlight traditional accents on the front of the house by giving ornaments with traditional elements on the gate, main door and others.

If you really want to highlight a typical traditional dwelling, you can also apply it to the shape of the house.

For example changing the structure of the building into a house on stilts or the use of a roof that has traditional elements.

Playing with Archipelago Typical Patterns

Indonesia is rich in various patterns such as batik, or carvings on various ornaments, such as on wood and on other decorative elements.

You can use this pattern as a way to give the impression of an exotic traditional house.

You can apply this pattern to certain parts of the house.

For example on door or window frames, to the selection of furniture that has a similar impression.

But remember, the application of the pattern must also be careful and must be combined properly.

You certainly don't want it if the house gives the effect of being 'too crowded' because the patterns presented seem excessive?

Use of the Wood Element

Indonesian traditional houses are identical with the use of wood in almost all parts of the house.

You can apply wooden ornaments to the walls, ceiling, or floor and decorative accents such as windows or doors.

The use of wood also gives a warm impression, closer to nature and thick with a beautiful atmosphere typical of old housing.

If you don't really like wooden ornaments to dominate the house, then you can still apply them to the furniture so that it still gives a traditional impression that isn't too overwhelming.

The wood element is indeed an element that is easily combined with various other elements in home design.

So, you can be more creative to create a comfortable home atmosphere with a traditional impression.

Besides wood, you can also use bamboo as another option. Expanding ornaments or decorative elements with wood and bamboo elements can also be the right choice.

Dim Lighting

Traditional houses are also closely related to dim lighting.

Dim doesn't mean lack of light...

You can still make a house with enough light, but still maintain a more serene ambiance.

Artificial lighting or lights can also be an additional element that can support the concept you want to present.

If we pay attention, traditional houses do have an atmosphere that tends to be solemn because they do not maximize lighting.

Then if you want to strengthen the ethnic impression, you can also use a lamp with a traditional lantern style, or various other types of lamps that have a similar impression.

Combine with Modern Concept

You can still combine the concept of a shady and serene traditional house with a modern, futuristic and minimalist house concept.

The combination of these two concepts is very possible to apply. You can maximize the typical modern building but give a lot of traditional accents as a decorative element or vice versa.

If the dominance of your house tends to be modern, you can change the atmosphere of the room with traditional furniture, such as teak cabinets, wooden chairs, to various beautiful rattan accented items.

At this point your creativity is clearly put to the test.

But don't worry, in fact, there are many building and interior room models that combine these two concepts.

Try not to use too many colors in the interior of your home.

Because the essence of traditional housing is simplicity. White and warm colors like brown can be the right combination if you want to combine these two concepts.

Easy isn't it?

There is a pavilion on the page

You can also design the page section so that it is thick with traditional elements.

You can also add a pavilion or gazebo if you have enough yard.

In fact, you can even create a separate room from the main house such as a kitchen or lounge by building a pavilion.

By having an open space for a relaxed gathering like this, of course you and your family can spend more time together or just relax.

Traditional houses are also closely related to separate rooms, you can apply this concept especially if you have adequate land.

How?

Are you interested in having a home with a warm and soothing traditional house concept?

If you are getting bored with the minimalist concept and want a house that is full of childhood memories and nostalgia, then a traditional house can be an inspiration in designing a dwelling.

Remember, be creative and realize your ideas freely to create a dream home.
