A Thai Style home is one that takes inspiration from the culture and landscape of Thailand, along with the design ideas of this country. Thai style homes are influenced by many aspects of this country’s history and religious beliefs.
The style is also influenced by many aspects of the cultures in neighboring Asian countries. This means that Thai style homes are as diverse as the culture of Thailand and that you can apply the style in many ways to reflect your own personality.
There are actually two interpretations of the Thai style home; the traditional and the modern. The traditional look makes greater use of color and ornate features to create a warm look, while the modern Thai style is more about creating a zen-like space that is calm and relaxing.
It is also possible to combine these two interpretations, taking elements of each to create a calm space that features interesting features and splashes of color.
A common theme running through both styles is the use of natural materials and bringing elements of the outdoors into the interior of your home.
Traditionally, Thai homes are made from wood and bamboo, so this is an important element of the architectural features of a Thai home.
While homes in many other parts of the world are built using brick, stone, and cement, it is still possible to incorporate the wood to the interior of your home to recreate the Thai style.
Large windows and doors are also important in Thai design as they let in light, keep the rooms cool, bring the outdoors in, and create a sense of space. The large windows are also an important element of bringing the outside in and connecting with nature.
