When we talk about wood, there is only one word to describe it: noble!

Although many might consider it a bit too basic, simple or rustic, the truth is that many design professionals know just how many properties it has and how beneficial it can be for architecture and design. In fact, building a home with this material can result in the most awesome house. 

Wood also has so many advantages, including that it is economical, aesthetically appealing and adaptable. Thus we can let our imaginations run wild with the possibilities. Wood also allows a home to feature an array of textures and tones, resulting in a rustic dream house that is modern and cozy all at the same time.

Wood has been used throughout, creating a very rich and appealing home. Even the furniture is wood.

3. The most rustic

For the simple life, you can also go for this type of style. 

This cabin could certainly have the dimensions of a full-on family home, however the facade nourishes the design with a very rustic look and feel. This is the ideal spot to spend holidays! Wouldn't you want to escape everyday life and spend a weekend here?

This is because the rustic design speaks to the naturalness of the material, using it as an element of beauty. The imperfect wood and streaks and stains from the passage of time make this cabin perfect for a restful escape.

In this cabin, we come across a very simple design. The key to working with wood, especially if you are on a tight budget, is to make the most of the space available to you. 

In this design, the architects have gone for a multi-functional and savvy home that is economical without compromising on home comforts.
