Homes usually have four walls, a ceiling and a floor. Usually. But there are also extraordinary homes. Like something out of a fairy tale, recreating the bold dreams of their owners.
Boldness is the spice of life. Courage to try, but also courage to refuse. Courage to live the way you want to, not the way the times and the society we live in dictate.
We are now told we have to get faster, richer, more engaged to be "successful".
But why don't we show a little courage and say "no thank you". No to rushing, no to stress and no to the boring, monotonous homes we live in.
Take inspiration from the world's most daring and quirky houses for your own home and turn it into an island of tranquillity and enjoyment of life:
Light and space from the transparent house in Japan

There is a transparent house in Japan. Just from windows and glass partitions. You probably won't like the lack of any privacy, but it remains an inspiration!
The more light there is in our homes, the more relaxed and close to nature we feel. Our mood improves and our biological clock works in harmony with nature.
Natural fabrics from the Flinstone family house in the USA
Made entirely of stone and wood, this house mimics the primitive life of a beloved prehistoric family.
Natural materials - stone, leather, cotton, bamboo - soothe the senses, are long-lasting and maintain our home's connection to nature.
Home is not a museum, but an active place to live

Home should be the best. The most relaxing and the most comfortable. As adults, however, we often forget that we should also provide space for play. Not just a box of toys, but real, fun and active play, like going down a slide from upstairs to downstairs.
By the way, it has been proven that when adults recall childhood games, they feel much happier.
Round shapes from the house-crab
Design by Arquitectura Organica
In Mexico, a young family with children decided to live in a shell. There was not a single right corner, because there are no corners in nature.
We can borrow from this home the idea of more softness in the lines of the interior when we choose our furniture and accessories.
And let's not forget that the most expensive item in the home will stop being valuable if we don't pay attention to it.
That's why it's important not only to arrange our home with love, but also to spend enough time admiring it without rushing.
