This Twitter Account Shares Examples Of Home Design Done Right, And Here Are 40 Of The Best Ones
Everyone has their own understanding of how a house should look. Some feel the coziest in a small dwelling next to the woods while others dream about owning a big property with a basketball court next to a lake.
But regardless of what your dream place looks like, chances are this Twitter account has already found something like that in the wild. Called 'Home And Decor', it combs through the internet in search of the most beautiful projects and shares them with its followers. So let's take a look at the stunning homes in which people reside.

Having been through all the photos on the page, I can confidently say this is my favorite. Those hugungous homes which require full-time housekeepers aren’t for me; I don’t wanna be cleaning 24/7/365. I’m a low-maintenance kinda gal. Smaller = better, and this is not only small but very thoughtfully and tastefully put together. I also get the impression that rambunctious neighbors aren’t a problem. Give me peace in a tiny house in the woods any day!
Totally agree. My dream is to start a tiny house community somewhere remote. Or at least have my own tiny house I can take wherever I want.
Load More Replies...Not sure how a cold shed with an Ikea kitchen made it to nr. 1. But then I haven't seen any of the following ones, if there's even more luke-warm then it's explained.
Because it doesn't LOOK cold. It might be - no arguing with you there. But the dark wood with the snow outside contrasts nicely to give it a warm, cozy feeling. (the steam from the bath helps).
Load More Replies...I like this. Not ostentatious, good use of space, not enormous. I don’t like baths but can see that some might find that relaxing.
That is a free standing tub.... in what kind of room exactly? And is that a massage table? For whenever my personal massage therapist comes by. Please don't make me laugh.
Oh, my goodness! I didn’t catch that until I saw your comment! I’d assumed that’s a [very drab] dining room table, as I hadn’t spotted the tub behind it. Nosiree; I have no use for a massage table, nor do I want my dining room table in my bathroom. 😕
Load More Replies...Only concern looking at pics, there is an open standing grill on the far left. It should not be under a tree, one accidental flame up could spread to tree, especially if tree is very dry such as by the end of summer comes around.
Oh, but that view would be AMAZING! If you were 100% certain that the house was secure? Amazing.
Load More Replies...Bedrooms need curtains/drapes. I get migraines and most days I don't want to get up exactly at sunrise. Both require an artificial way to block the sun. If this was another room. I'd love it, but I need dark to sleep.
Interesting that they used a Hawaiian word for it. Why not something Korean?
Load More Replies...The homeownership rate in the United States rose slightly in 2022, reaching the highest figure since 2011. Last year, the proportion of households that are occupied by owners stood at 65.9 percent.
The U.S. homeownership rate was the highest in 2004 before the 2007-2009 recession that decimated the housing market. The rate continued to fall until 2016 but has begun to increase again since then.
Those walls aren't real, are they? I'm assuming plaster walls, movie-set like?
I don't know, my severe anxiety would be telling me the roof is going to fall down any moment
That top photo! It can't be real. It must be from a Disney production.
It is beautiful and most likely a collage of two photos. You can't get those stars without a long shutter and the closer lights would overwhelm the shot.
Load More Replies...that lake/ocean shot cannot possibly be the same house. The other pics have a house surrounded by trees or driveway
The amount of awesome homes is basically unlimited if you have enough money. This just seems like a thread about how great it is to be rich.
That's because a thread with photos of modest homes isn't very interesting to look at to most people. I could just look around my house or out my window if I wanted to see where commoners live.
Load More Replies...I wonder what it's like to not be poor and have a home like this.
Even if I were rich, I wouldn't want it. I'd finish fixing up my four-room house and make it perfect for Bouche and me.
Load More Replies...Someone else said that the water picture is not of the house - it's from the dock/boathouse on the water.
Load More Replies...Is it wise, do you think, to publish the address of places like these? Some folks might think it's an invitation to come visit and try out the accommodations.
Homeownership trends vary from generation to generation. For example, homeownership among Americans over 65 years old is declining, whereas most Millennial renters plan to buy a home in the near future.
This suggests that homeownership will remain important in the future, as Millennials are forecast to head most households over the next two decades.
Yeah no. These are a) ridiculously expensive, b) lure bugs to you /especially this close to a body of water) and c) super tiny and terrible to clean. Pictures of the interior of these container homes almost always use lenses to make it look bigger than it is. On top of that this one isn't very well designed at all, its just a random row of containers glued together. It's basically the container equivalent of a McMansion
This is absolutely all I need. Tiny house on the water. Of course even though it's small it's probably worth millions due to the location. :(
The best and the worst one on this list at the same time.
Load More Replies...Add a small stove, fridge, French press, a couple of mugs, and a bookshelf full of horror books and I could live in that space alone with my cat!!!
lovely..but...i hate beds up against the walls...you cant change the sheets or keep it neat! enlarge this pic and see how the fitted sheet is all gnarly! (sorry if i seem ocd...i am not, just like bedsheets neat & cool..)🙄
There is no fitted sheet! Ugh just a flat covering the mattress! If you are going to do a flat, go up a couple sizes on it to tuck in so it doesn't come loose!
Load More Replies...Am I the only one who, when I see things like this, thinks 'That looks like a bugger to put the sheets on '?
Nope. Hence my comment about why the fitted sheet is not on the bed properly. 😁
Load More Replies...Can you imagine if you woke up in the middle of the night and saw a face outside the window?
Is it wrong that I love it and yet it looks like a nightmare dust and spider trap at the same time?
It's pretty, but I'll smash my shins up on that bed frame in the dark.
Load More Replies...A wall inside a wall attached to a ceiling under the ceiling and a floor floating over the floor. That's not a waste of resources at all.
No, this is a high quality render, probably done with 3DMax.
Load More Replies...You know why that chicken coupe has two doors? Because if it had four it would be a chicken sedan.
This looks a lot like Chip & Joanna Gaines's house (before the addition).
However, there's a great deal of change in the way people decorate their homes, too. For example, interior designer Susan Hayward of Susan Hayward Interiors told Insider the popular gray-interior trend is slowly fading out and being replaced.
"Gray interiors are on their way out, along with cool tones in general," Hayward said. "Instead, we are going to see more pops of color, highlight walls, and warm tones taking their place."
how do I feel about my own personal island? 1) YES PLEASE 2) flooding risk, sorry nope
If you can afford your own island, you can afford to evacuate to your other home if there's a flood event at this one.
Load More Replies...Everything is a pain in the butt. Getting mail, buying food, generating power, doing home maintenance and repairs. Forget having anything delivered.
It would cut cut down on solicitors knocking though
Load More Replies...The house is nice but it looks incredibly boring. No trees, no wildlife - nothing to do unless you go into your boat and go to the mainland. I can watch Netflix in my house in a much cheaper, less water-threatened place. Pretty house, but this one is just trying too hard. If you put me on an island, at least give me something to explore and watch!
Lol, OP wants to live next door to this house!
Load More Replies...How can you tell from this distance? If someone offered it to me, I wouldn’t hesitate!
Load More Replies...But that's a long way to go if you forgot the coffee.
Load More Replies...Hmmm. Nice but I don't think it's real. Some of the trees look fake and the perspective is a bit off.
How do you keep from having a rockslide ? I mean, I would like to live on the water, not in it.
I love the houses right on the water best, but would never, ever live in one, even if it were free, because I’d constantly worry about it all being swept away in a blink. With all the crazy weather around the world these days, I’d be terrified I’d wake up in the middle of the sea, all wet, with my home being nothing but a hole in the ground … filled with water. 😕
Another one that's been 'adjusted'. The shadows around the rocks in the right picture are all wrong.
The shadow on the deck in the right pic is curved where the deck is not and the palm tree casts no shadow! Photo shopped for sure!
Load More Replies...Do you think Amazon delivers here? ;) That's the only thing that could make it better.
Although aesthetically pleasing, would I want to live there all year round? What about stormy season?
Ok I was like "ooh nice" until I came to the loft and I was like "I NEED IT sjfbdndjd
The layout and front of this cabin looks suspiciously like the family cabin of my childhood till the adults sold it.
IT's pretty, but how many guests are supposed to share that bedroom?
According to Hayward, light fixtures have increased in size and, in some cases, have even grown too large for certain rooms.
"I hope we leave massive lighting in 2022," Hayward said. "Fixtures keep increasing in size and often do not match the scale of a room. A chandelier should not be as big as the dining table beneath it, and you should be able to approach the table without feeling like you are going to hit your head on the light fixture."
The garage in the top photo is a 3 car garage. The ones on the water aren't for cars, they're boat docks.
Load More Replies...I like how you arrive and the house is 60:40 divided cars:humans. Priorities! But yeah the water part is glorious.
The garages take up about the same amount of room as the house.
Most of the time I'm happy with a small, comfortable living. And sometimes I wish I was rich.
Because families often have more than one car, particularly if their adult children are living with them. There's also the possibility they collects cars, or that the garage is used for others vehicles (ie motor bike, quad bike, golf cart, bicycles, scooters, ect). For all we know a large part of the garage is a workshop. Large garages are not uncommon.
Load More Replies...I always think about when it rains and having to take all of those cushions off
Cushions like that are made for being outdoors. My parents always take theirs in when it rains but I've found it doesn't really matter with mine. They dry quickly and are fade resistant so I just let them get wet.
Load More Replies...at first I thought the small tables were stools and my butt hurt looking at them
Wait - they're not? I though they were there to sit near the fire and make stick-bread and (if you are into that abomination) S'mores!
Load More Replies...Lovely, but I’d always be nervous about bugs or other critters in the cushions.
Photogenic but not practical. I don’t prefer stationary seating around the fire pit. Someone always wants to sit closer to it, some want to sit farther away. Stationary seating doesn’t allow for that. Plus in this picture no one is gonna get any warmth from the fire. If this is in a climate where it’s warm out at night and you just want to gaze at flames it wld work.
This has been featured multiple times as a redesign in the game Redecor. If you’ve never played and enjoy interior designing, I highly recommend it.
only great if there are no mosquitoes, and not too hot, cold or windy,
No, sorry - not for me. Getting ready for work before dawn is hard enough; this would make it harder.
I love dark rooms! Everyone says that they're too claustrophobic (and they're not using that word correctly) but I love them!
Because nothing happens in the bathroom that you need to be able to see?
I think about the creepy crawlies that you will never see until they are bathing with you.
Interior designer Rudolph Diesel expects to see more accent walls add definition and eye-catching elements to spaces in 2023.
"Opt for an accent with a unique texture or wallpaper in a similar color to the rest of the room," Diesel added. "If you want to create a wooden accent wall, make sure you're using vertical slats as they give a roof a lift, and make small spaces feel more intimate and large spaces feel more inviting. Avoid using reclaimed wood, which will make your home look dated."
Diesel also recommends choosing the correct area to adorn, as it's best to decorate the first wall you see when you walk into the room.
I can kinda compete with the view. :) (France) 03-10-2019...155368.jpg
Where exactly? Asking for a friend.... (Also, very pretty horse! (Pony?))
Load More Replies...Just one garage? Okay, I might like this. But way too few dogs. I definitely need more
Yesssss! I've lived in a loft bed that way to small for me for years but I just can give it up they're so awesome and somehow cozier
Load More Replies...Interesting bunk bed arrangement there. Is that a queen size bed, or just the camera angle?
I'm a "get away from everyone and live in the woods " type person, but if I were ever to live in the city I would do it like this in a skinny minute!
If your apartment is high enough, you can still achieve the "get away from everyone" part
Load More Replies...Diesel explained that people will likely opt for more curves in their homes to create dimension.
"As people look to switch things up more in the home, a move away from straight lines and toward more modernist curves is on the horizon," Diesel said. "Things like rounded furniture allow for a different, bold style without looking garish or unsightly."
The designer recommends arched doorways and curves around exterior walls to add interesting shapes and dimensions.
"cozy" with all the heat going up & disappearing in the glass.
Load More Replies...As a housekeeper I abhor clear glass shower doors. Scum of the day, day after day. Never will look as good as when installed. A nightmare to clean!
They need to have a proper coating and it really helps to squeegee down after use, plus leave the door open for a bit after use.
Load More Replies...Is it me or are these all basically the same sterile house in different locations? Where are the old characterful ones??
Where are the gardens? Jeez, these houses look like fancy coffins. *sigh*
Only if it really was a former church, or an apartment in a converted castle or something. Otherwise, a bit too pretentious for me. Also, the black cabinetry in what I’m assuming is the kitchen is a bit oppressive.
But flux and change are constants in life. Because of that, we can look forward to what's new and exciting with every coming day. And in 2023, we’re bound to see interior design trends that we still haven't considered. So I guess we'll have to revisit 'Home And Decor' sooner or later!
“All I really need”? I’m also a minimalist, but I kinda *require* something to sit on, at least, and something to sleep on would be nice!
a chair with caster wheels would be a lot of fun on that floor
Load More Replies...The placement of the windows are really triggering my OCD....
is it excessively big? absolutely. complete mcmansion. BUT THAT KITCHEN. gorgeous. and the outdoor setup!!!
No ok this is my new dream home! I might find another home one in like 30 seconds, but for the time being, THIS is my dream home
I just want that outdoor kitchen and grill set. Grill me some some ribeyes. And some ears of elote and a couple bottles of Corona and I’d have it made just chillin outside. Hell yeah !
Why is there no grass in the yard? “Yes, we’ll take a 10,000 sq ft house on 2 acres, but only if the land around the house is 90% paved.” I mean, in the desert I could understand it, but that doesn’t look like it’s in a desert region. If it is, then I take back my comment. :-)
I would love that. Just drove something in and plenty of space to work on it
Load More Replies...I would convert the loft/mezzanine into a guest room and put an additional outside door at the foot of the stairs, with a door at the top leading to the living space, that could be locked for privacy and have the garage area be a workshop for all the DIY woodworking projects I would like to be able to do if I had the space and wasn't renting a stupidly tiny apartment (462 square foot bachelorette apartment - it sucks). I would love to have space for a decent size table saw, a band saw, a drill press, a belt sander, a wood planer, a disc sander, a router (the power tool, not the computer device), a work table with a peg board at the back, a large tool chest for my smaller tools, and other stuff I can't think of at the moment. Poverty sucks! Having expensive tastes and a very limited budget and space also sucks. At least I can go on the internet and daydream about having a workshop like this someday!
I'm confused by all the comments assuming this is a living space. Isn't it just a super nice garage people would hang out in?
That looks WAY too expensive. I know literally all these houses are expensive but this is very expensive!
Ooohh, can I just have the dog? She/he looks so soft 😊
I would like to see more of the outside and a few pictures of the inside.
I’m not trying to be rude but I feel like they obviously aren’t meant for people with mobility problems…??
Load More Replies...This is a very 60’s style. The pool right next to the seating area is kinda weird for my taste.
These people really thought it was a good idea to pave 75% of the area around the house.
exactly. Give me this ANYWHERE else but there, or really in the south and I'd say yes
Load More Replies...I agree it needs more trees, and I also would not have put a pool in. Nice and far from the neighbors though, and the barn looks darling.
I'd object to the "garden", too. And the HUGE driveway.
Load More Replies...I'd also need a ring to ride my horse in. The barn is perfect though. :)
If you live in a place with weather extremes, your home is most likely very well insulated, having a black house wouldn't be an issue.
Load More Replies...Ceiling is way too low in that basketball court. Going to be marks all over it after the kids get in there.
Yeah. Either make it a FULL old-style castle or a house, not an in-between mansion
Load More Replies...Needs landscaping ASAP! Someone at least put some bushes in until the trees grow!
Why would anyone paint their house this color? Just, why? Unless you’re the Addams family.
This one and the next are clearly the same photoshop design with a change of color--check the living room.
Have you ever seen black anything with the sunlight pouring in - shows every single dust particle.
I like it if there's an accent color too. I've seen some really pretty gray and white with splashes of blue that look fabulous. Otherwise it just reminds me of *bad* black and white photos.
Load More Replies...So there is an indoor kitchen and an outdoor kitchen? Why? Perhaps I am not rich enough to see the point.
I’m trying to figure that one out too.
Load More Replies...Not sure why you got downvoted. I completely and 100% agree! Colour is a good thing, home decorators! Please remember that when staging a home! I know white is neutral, but it is also garish!
Load More Replies...I think that when they are shown bare naked without furniture they don't have a vibe that's inviting
It doesn't look real, especially the kitchen photo. It looks a rendering/computer mockup from an Interior Designer?
Some interesting features, but it’s not really all that. And an outdoor kitchen literally steps from the indoor kitchen seems redundant, especially with the open plan between indoors and outdoors.
you know those rooms are hot AF in the summer in texas...there is no amount of fans and AC to properly cool a home with rooms that big and tall
I want to see what they look like with furniture... I've never seen something like it before
Load More Replies...bad design: non-functionalm hard-to-clean sinks that look cool...overhead rain showerheads that don't let you wet only one part of your body look cool, suck to use...and too dark surfaces that hide ick growth
Soooo...super don't recommend a sink like the one on the top right, unless you just stand outside the bathroom & gaze at it longingly, but never touch it. I wanted one of these sinks, fought my partner tooth & nail when we were building our home because he thought it was dumb. I victory danced for 9 days guys, 9 freaking days, before my dumbass drops a hairbrush that hits the corner of the sink just beautifully enough to snap it off. Yeah. I suck.😔
Only if the cars come with it and that they're real which I assume they are
Load More Replies...The view is beautiful but the house is too big and clinical feeling for me.
I dunno; the “WAR EAGLE” poster wrecks that one room and makes me think the home owner’s bad taste is most likely spread throughout the house. Perhaps spent too much on real estate, leaving nothing for decor?
Fun if you're a kid. And if you're an adult who can afford to have someone clean it for you!
I would love to have that music area for my son; he plays drums, guitar, trumpet, and is beginning to learn piano.
Little dark for me, but with a coat of paint I'd be happy. (Dark is fine for those that love it though!)
Terrible. Most of these are so tacky, unimaginative, without any heart or soul, just some rich person paying an interior designer to realise the latest decoration trends...
I agree. Most look like air b&b ads. I want the view, not the latest magazine trend.
Load More Replies...I don't need much, just a good sized kitchen, well designed closet, and a technique and I'll be happy
Not sure I'd want a mirror where I might accidentally (or not) bang my head.
Yeah, that's more of what I'd like to see. Especially creative uses for like smaller more intimate spaces.
Load More Replies...To all those millennials complaining our capitalist society will only prevent them from affording these homes, all you need to do is make your own coffee and save 300% of your wages every month.
Uh, Instagram s**t from billionaires, costing a fortune and displayed to us so we can dream on "the american dream". I think we should stop with that b******t romantizing stuff from rich people.
So sick of open floor concepts. I'd love to have one with retractable doors between the kitchen and living room, but not open 24/7.
You and me both. I want rooms, dammit, not one huge space with a kitchen tucked into a corner. ;-)
