Starter house

Today I would like to share a simple starter house I've created recently.
I got inspired by natural materials and for the color scheme I took a look at the dress of the sim used.
This to change up my usual colors a bit and to see what would come out of it.


The exterior:

For the outside of the house, I used wooden panels in combination with grey/brown bricks.
These elements combined give an inviting look and feel.
The wooden framed modern windows, make sure that there is enough light coming in.
I kept the foundation quite basic, since this particular plot leaves room for expansions later on.
So this way, it's always possible to add an extra room if needed/desired.

The entrance:

For the flooring I used a wooden zigzag pattern. The color of the wood works nicely with the doors and windows. This makes the house flow nicely.
A few small decorations make this entrance practical and nice.
The light wooden wall keeps the mood mellow.

The Living room/study:

As you can see, I used brown and white as basics for this house.
The simple combination of an almost wine red wall and purple couch, makes this living room unique and suited for somebody who dares to stand out.
Since the colors are well spoken, it's important to keep that in mind when looking for furniture/decorations. You don't want the house to turn into a disco...
So I've chosen for dark grey pillows, a mix of small tables and a grey carpet to put the room together.

For a study area, red wouldn't be your first choice perse, so to keep things light use some simple wall decorations. The bookshelf and desk are soft and gentle, which brings the sharp contrast of the red a bit down. Some scented candles always do well.




The kitchen:

With this open floorplan we want to bring the light inside.
To do so, long windows with a panel are a nice option.
The kitchen is made of matching wood, to keep the place nice and sunny.
As a detail, I chose for red panels to bring back some color in there.

The dining:

A marmer dining table is what this place screamed for!
Bring in some stones to break off the wood, but keeping things natural.
Matching stone white chairs and the right carpet, make this open dining a cozy place to be.

Who wouldn't want a piece of that pie now?

The Bathroom:

Bathrooms can be tricky to work with, since they have a tendency of being harsh.
I wanted to prevent this, so I stuck with natural materials.
The light wooden floor, combined with a partially wooden sink, give this small room a personality.
Some small decorations and you're done!






The bedroom:

The bedroom is a place where, let's be honest, clutter tends to pop up.
So to keep it organized, make sure to have some shelves/boxes to keep things tidy.
I used a light orang wallpaper on half of the room and a playful wallpaper on the other half.
To tone the playful wallpaper down a bit, I chose for dark curtains, which keep the light outside if you'd want.
