A modern family home needs a few simple basics to ensure that it is functional, comfortable and cosy. These include a spacious backyard for the children to play in, a terrace to enjoy the warm summer months and a kitchen that is the heart and soul of the home.

These simple features can ensure that a home is everything that you need and more!

Which is why we are delighted to bring you a simple family home today, designed by professionals Bohnarchitektur. As we explore the basis of this home, we will see just how little it takes to create a dream home. You may also come across some features that your own home is missing!

Let's take a look!

A welcoming yet safe exterior

In South Africa it's important that our homes are safe and secure, which is why this is the ideal exterior design. The white walls and grey features make for a very stylish and elegant look and feel, while the high walls and solid doors provide the family with more than enough protection from prying eyes.

The beautiful little front garden softens the look and feel of the exterior space, making sure that it doesn't look like Fort Knox! Don't you love the gorgeous rose bushes and carefully selected shrubs?

An entrance should also be warm and welcoming, which is exactly what has been achieved here. The front door features a little roof so that guests can stand out of the rain or sunshine. There is also a light so that they can find their way at night.

The overall design

From this angle, we can see just how spacious and impressive the home is, despite its simple shape, white facade and clean lines.

The home spreads over three stories, with the middle level opening up onto a gorgeous wooden terrace. Wood is a great material for a terrace as it is durable in all weather conditions. It also looks earthy and warm too, contrasting in this case with the sleek white facade. You'll notice it is furnished with some practical yet stylish furniture, allowing this space to be enjoyed for a multitude of functions. 

The home features large glass windows and doors throughout the facade, creating a wonderful interaction between the interior and exterior spaces. Blinds can be drawn across them to give the family privacy if need be.

The beautiful garden

The garden is spacious and well-organised with a neatly mowed lawn and plenty of trees, flowers and plants.

Your garden plays a big role in the look and feel of your home so you want it to look neat and tidy at all times. You should also invest in gardening tools and chat to your local nursery owner about the best plants for the South African climate. With the right garden strategy, you can create a gorgeous exterior design that will make the neighbours green with envy!

A kitchen that's the heart and soul

If we peek inside the home, we come across a warm and stylish kitchen with modern and contemporary finishes and a slight country-style quality.

The designers have gone for soft, white tones throughout the design, which are enhanced by the sleek silver appliances. Some vases of flowers and pot plants add a gorgeous natural form of decor to the space. 

You'll notice that there is plenty of storage space in the kitchen, including a row of hooks where accessories and tools can be hung up along the wall. This keeps the kitchen very neat and organised, which makes for a very happy home. If everything is easily accessible and tidily stored away, cooking is that much easier!

A connection between the interiors

Here we can see how the large glass windows and doors that we saw throughout the facade allow for a beautiful interaction between the interior and exterior spaces.

A large glass door opens up onto an entrance hall, with wooden floors and white walls. The neutral interiors envelope the family and guests in warmth and tranquility.

You'll also notice beautiful lamps installed throughout this space, which give the home a beautiful, soft glow in the evenings. Good lighting is key to a good home!

The wooden stairs

In a simple family home, you can afford to create style out of functional elements. The staircase is the perfect example.

The wooden stairs sweep up to the second floor, contrasting beautifully with the plain white walls. This is a wonderful example of how you don't need too many details or elements to create a sophisticated space. Sometimes less truly can be more.

Wood is also a great material for stairs because of how durable it is. Have a look at these wooden staircases that wow for more inspiration!
