What I do have is a complete addiction to home design pages on Pinterest, and, as a non-home-owner, the sweet naivety of being able to overlook the more complicated aspects of house design or renovations: à la financial costs, legal restrictions, structural limitations, and time constraints.

Yet since being at CompleteHome, I have stumbled across some houses that have absolutely floored me in their stunning design. I decided to pick out my top seven, and share them with you.

The second box offers more protection from the elements, with sunken windows inside the rich rust-coloured design. The darker interiors contrast to the washy neutrals of the beach landscape surrounding. I legitimately cannot imagine being stressed in a place like this. I can&

;s design. Soaring ceilings in the triangulating roofs are capitalized on, by nearly full-wall windows that look out onto the backyard. The split level design, featuring exposed brick and timber, contrasts to the modern concrete of the bottom level while maintaining the sleek and minimal lines that define this house.

;s a simple layout, with a central hallway and two wings on either side makes, but attention to detail, from the warm lighting design to the mix of timbers, brick and concretes used for the base materials, makes this house design so powerful. The sliding barn doors on the bedroom, and the rustic timber bookshelf add traditional homey touches. I can& Innovative splashback design ideas
;t help but think I& Innovative splashback design ideas
;d be inevitably cooler if I lived in this house: I can just imagine the owner reading classic novels, listening to jazz records and visiting hip cafes on weekends. Life goals.
Grand Designs Australia: Hawthorn's Power Street residence

Innovative splashback design ideas
;m not usually a fan of darker house design colours: this house features a grey exterior, metallic style ceilings and granite tiles throughout the main living space. But it was that window that really sold me to this house design. It& Innovative splashback design ideas
;s a feature wall in itself: 5-metres of north-facing window space, that pulls the modern and sleek house together with an incredible design choice. The rest of the house could have been a shack, and I would still consider adding this house to the list, just from this window: the fact that it isn& Innovative splashback design ideas
;t a shack is what makes it a complete stand out.
The captivating design is carried into the roof, with gutterless panels being separated by windows: these have been designed so that, when it rains, you can see waterfalls flowing down the roof from the coziness of inside. Remember that bit about being floored by stunning design? This is a prime example; suddenly this roof design is all I need in my life.

Look at that staircase- it&

;s art in itself. Sitting beneath a central, north-facing light well, it& Innovative splashback design ideas
;s truly the feature of this renovated terrace. I love the blending of old an new in this house. The original facade is maintained, but with a striking lick of blue paint on the door. The classic windows and exposed brick fireplace blend with the more contemporary designs of the back of the house: concrete flooring, and stacking aluminium sliding doors that fully open the back of the house to the rear terrace. The interplay between space and design through beautiful and innovative architectural features makes this terrace stunning. With the full potential of the space well and truly taken advantage of, I& Innovative splashback design ideas
;m in awe of this renovation.

;s my affinity to incredible windows. And this is probably one of the best I& Innovative splashback design ideas
;ve seen. Taking advantage of the beautiful South Australian landscape, the closer you look at this house design, the better it gets. Unlike typical house designs that have basis in box shapes, this house features curves lines, including on the roof and through the feature window wall. I& Innovative splashback design ideas
;ve always thought curved walls would make for interior decorating nightmares, but the dynamics of space and light, in addition to custom-made features like the curving bookshelf, completely sell the unique design to me. It& Innovative splashback design ideas

;re looking at a future of increasingly crowded cities, so great house designs that go up, instead out, will always capture my attention. And this East Melbourne terrace is my absolute favourite. Sustainable and minimal, the floor-to-ceiling windows take advantage of the views on every floor. The ingenuity of the space saving solutions in this house incites the same excitement I get when walking through those little rooms in Ikea. If excitement over innovative storage solutions isn& Innovative splashback design ideas
