• Those who had visited Kerala- the pristine God's
  own country will surely have a bunch of memories
  and will always inspire to take back their home.
  Kerala has got its mark for pristine natural
  endowment, tremendous magnificent architecture
  and much more.
• Kerala is famous for its architectural taste
  which is influenced and inspired by both the
  ancient royalties and the Europeans. Every
  designed home whether a recent one or an
  ancestral one will definitely have a touch of old
  age architectural techniques and elements which
  with time gets on trendier.

• There are certain specific highlights that you
  will find very common although in different
  versions and styles.
• 1. High ventilation blessed with a pleasant,
  moderate climate throughout the year with a few
  months of exceptionally heavy rains, Keralites
  loves to have extensively wide windows and
  ventilators in every single room.
• 2. Indoor courtyard or Nadumuttam which is a
  centre courtyard is one of the prominent spaces
  that one can always see in a Kerala style home.
  The centre inside the house is converted into a
  natural courtyard by either leaving the space
  empty or having a 'tulasi thara (A structure
  where a basil plant sits). The courtyard is
  bordered with huge pillars and is left open
  upwards.

• 3. Evolving styles for stairs the interior
  designs of a Kerala style house will inspire you
  to experiment. It is rare or very tough to find
  two houses having their stairs completed in a
  similar design. Some may like to blend the
  ancient model into the contemporary while others
  go for an admiring style.
• 4. Majestic doors and windows this is probably
  one of the striking interior elements of a house
  done in Kerala style. The doors and windows are
  always considered to be of great aesthetic value.
  The doors and especially the main entrance door
  windows are given a majestic look with lots of
  carving intricate detailing. The style indeed
  changes from time to time with each one becoming
  the newest trend in interior designing.

• 5. Love for wood is always given utmost
  preference for the interiors especially in a
  house in Kerala as it is regarded to be the best
  material for home decor which is so versatile
  that it can never be outdone by any material in
  look or durability. Either its the door or
  windows or the wardrobes or the stairs- wood is
  so in love with these homes. The main purpose is
  the need to be 'close to nature' and that is what
  inspires the designs of Kerala house and how they
  attain them is what makes them stand out.
