• honesty in materials

• strategic color use

calm - uncluttered - rational - purposeful - timeless

Simplify the Architecture

Let form emerge from structure.

How to apply:

Reduce visual clutter - minimal trim, simple baseboards

Emphasize clean lines and right angles

Use built-ins that align with walls and planes

Avoid decorative features that imitate historical styles.

Be Intentional with Color

Color supports function, not decoration.

Guidelines:

Base palette: white, black, gray, warm neutrals

Accent sparingly with primary or bold colors

Use color to define zones or highlight features (stairs, doors, shelving)

Avoid overly complex color schemes.

Maximize Light and Openness

Light is a key architectural element.

Ways to apply:

Keep window treatments minimal

Use glass or translucent dividers instead of solid walls

Reflect light with pale surfaces and strategic mirrors

Artificial lighting should be functional and understated.

Design for Everyday Living

Bauhaus was fundamentally social and human-centered.

Focus on:

Comfort without excess

Durable, easy-to-maintain materials

Furniture that supports real daily use, not just aesthetics

A Bauhaus-inspired home should feel livable, not austere.

ADDITIONAL AI INTERPRETATIONS

HOW TO APPLY THIS STYLE TO THE MODERN HOME

Start with Function, Not Style

Before choosing finishes or furniture, define how each space is used.

Ask:

What activities happen here?

What furniture is essential?

How should people move through the space?

Application:

Clear circulation paths

Furniture sized to the room and its purpose

If an element doesn’t serve a function, reconsider it.
