The Nature of the Home
A home can be a refuge away from the chaos of the world, a place of peace and tranquility. It may be a paradise for some. For some people, the home is a symbol of dreams, where dreams are created and nourished.

To cultivate dreams, some people focus on beautifying the interiors of the home to foster a sense of hope and peace in their environment/claimed territory.

Frank Lloyd Wright was one architect who opened up the space in the design of a home. Some scholars believe the notion that Wright implemented, the importance of interior space, is key to an attractive home. He paid particular attention to the importance of surroundings and vast space in the home called Falling Water. By utilizing a keen sense of nature's importance in furnishing serenity in the home, Wright brought the idea of nature or unlimited space/boundaries into the home.
