Tuscany
The Tuscany house, whether a simple
homestead or expansive villa, has become one of the most sought-after living
environment. Its design is virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages, when
landowners in the golden hills of Tuscany built country retreats with gardens,
porticoes, and loggias. The landowners often drew upon the natural resources
of Tuscany and it is these materials that give a house in Tuscany its unique
character.
Tuscans express their passion of
home design through simple elements: vibrant colors, textured walls and
ceilings, and aesthetics of the Tuscany house are stone, brick, mosaic
and marble; the hardwoods like chestnut, oak, and elm; earthy terra-cotta.
Tuscany homes have many dazzling details, the tiled roof and floor, thick
stone exterior walls, windows with wooden shutters, balcony with rococo
wrought ironwork, vine-covered loggia with sunflowers, a herb backyard,
luminous frescoes, and the sunny courtyard garden with an ancient well,
or exquisite water feature, used in ponds, fountains, and pools.
What makes a Tuscany
kitchen wonderful is Tuscans' cooking passion. Tuscany kitchen decor
is not just about home decorating skills and buying furniture. Tuscan kitchen
decor also includes bottles of olive oil and Chianti, fresh vegetable like
purple aubergine, green artichoke, juicy red tomatos, yellow lemons, a
bunch of herbs like rosemary and thyme, a pot of olive spray, voluptuous
cooking pot for pasta and stock and carafe for infusing Limoncello, a colander
for straining boiled potatoes, a large wooden kitchen table for rolling
personalized pasta and bread dough, a challenging wood-fired oven for a
lamb roast to pizzas. All these cooking materials have exciting shapes,
colors and aroma. Taking a look of lifestyle in Tuscany gives you unlimited
source of practical and edible home decorating ideas.
Tuscans love food and they emphasize
few and simple ingredients in each recipe. Thus Tuscany home decorating
is not overwhelming yourself with all the Tuscany elements at the same
time. For Tuscans, perfecting a pasta recipe may take a lifetime. So is
decorating and restoring a home and that's this attitude makes Tuscany
home style so desirable. |
