Housing Style

Tudor Style Home: Mostly upper class upscale suburbs homes, with half-timber, brick, stucco, and wood all in twined.
Neo-Classical (Greek Revival) Style Home: "The national style" Greek revival house consisted of pillars, columns, formal balance, symmetric appearances, brick, and wood.
Queen Anne Style Home: A romantic Victorian house with porches, balconies, and bay windows were used to add variety and "bring the outside in." Elaborate exterior woodworking called "gingerbread".
 
 Bungalow Style Home: The bungalow wood was left natural or stained,  with exposed rafters, and long low picketed roof with a shallow "shed" dormer.

Ranch/Split Level Style Home: The ranch is partly shaped by the automobile. The front dominated with a large "picture window" and by a large garage.

Prairie Style Home: Horizontal lines rule the Prairie style, accented by wide eaves. Windows are grouped in horizontal bands, and bricks are narrow to accent the horizontal. The Prairie style home allows natural textures and lines of the structure to speak for itself.

Colonial Revival Style Home: Most popular housing style for a family. These houses are inspired by Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial, New england, and Georgian.

International School and Contemporary Style Home: These houses are "Neo-Eclectric." Theses houses include a turret, a set of palladian windows, arched windows, and sharp gables. A Modern Art Style "less is a bore."
Cape Cod Syle Home: Characterized by a low, broad frame building, generally a story and a half high, with a steep, pitched roof with end gables, a large central chimney and very little ornamentation. Very simple: symmetrically designed with a central front door surrounded by two multi-paned windows on each side. Homes were designed to withstand the stormy, stark weather of the Massachusetts coast.
Colonial Revival (Dutch) Style Home: A style of domestic architecture, primarily characterized by gambrel roofs having curved eaves along the length of the house.
Neo-Eclectric Style Home:considered an outgrowth of postmodern architecture. It differs from postmodernism in that it is not creatively experimental.

Under the sea with spunk

sea themed
My sea inspired room is called under the sea with spunk. The room is brought together by unity with the sea inspired room. The teal, coral, and green show how many different colors are in the sea. There are a variety of things in my room, including the different visual textures and tactical textures. The different colors also allow a variety of colors.

Space: The space allows people to walk freely but maintain comfortable.
Line: There are many different lines including diagonal and vertical. This really bring out the spunk in this waiting room making it cheer.
Form: Allows the object to take space up but also fit the room well. Form allows the appearance to look professional.

Textural effect

texture
Visual- Couch, wall decor, cross wall decor, and the candles.
The effect they give off is a largely view of different eye textures, textures to the eye.

Tactile- Mirror, flowers, rug, and sculpture.
The effect gives these items a rough and poky feel when touching the items.

Audible- Chair,vase, pillows, and the rug.
Theses items give us a feel in how we hear them like smooth or rough sounding.

These textures give the room a certain feel for example this room comes off as being spuky and calm.
