Tuscan

Tuscan style homes are refined recreations of Italian villas, and were first introduced in England in the 1840s. Tuscan style exteriors feature low pitched tile or terra cotta roofs, stucco or stone construction and beautiful arched doorways and windows. Windows are tall and narrow, with wooden shutters. Many Tuscan homes feature an enclosed courtyard. Tuscan home interiors feature an open floor plan, with a mixture of Old World and Mediterranean design styles including accents of stone, tile and wrought iron. Traditional designs include wooden beams and wide plank hardwood flooring.
