Bring the beauty of the outdoors inside your home

When the temperature heats up we all want to head outside. Unfortunately, we can’t always enjoy the outdoors like we would want. Many different factors can come into play: allergies, insects that bite or sting, and even spring showers! So, let’s look at some home plans that allow you to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside your home! This can be accomplished in many different ways: screened porches, scenic windows, and even atriums! Our award winning designer, Michael E. Nelson, has a great love for the outdoors. So, he shares his love for nature with you by offering these unique and elegant designs in the Atrium Collection [http://www.houseplans.ninja/collections/atrium-collection]. These special floor plans have fantastic layouts and include centrally located “open air" atriums to bring a little bit of nature inside…whether it be a little bit of sunshine or soothing rain. Artemis (NDG 1294) [http://www.houseplans.ninja/content/1294-artemis] showcases both the uniqueness and elegance of this collection. Upon entering into the foyer, you’ll be greeted by a wall of windows offering a stunning view of the atrium. Maybe having the outside literally inside isn’t your cup of tea. Ok...How about a place where you can enjoy the outdoors, but still technically remain protected from the elements? Consider a design featuring a screened porch or a sunroom. Carriage Place (NDG 1148) [http://www.houseplans.ninja/content/1148-carriage-place] features a beautiful sunroom. You can enjoy the outdoors without technically stepping foot outside! This home plan is included in our Stone Village Collection [http://www.houseplans.ninja/plan-collections/stone-village-collection] This collection includes homes that are narrow-lot line and feature screened-porches, open floor plans, and fantastic kitchens and master suites. Another way to bring in the outdoors is through large windows that offer scenic views. This rings especially true if you are building in an area with spectacular views! Michael E. Nelson created the Angler Mountain Collection [http://www.houseplans.ninja/collections/angler-mountain-collection] with these views in mind. Deep wrap-around porches with fireplaces combined with lots of rear windows allow the enjoyment of a mountain or water view setting. The windows in Cliffs (NDG 1380) [http://www.houseplans.ninja/content/1380-cliffs] allow for lots of natural light, great views of the scenery, and add to a gorgeous rear exterior! There are so many different options when it comes to choosing a home plan. At Nelson Design Group, we understand this and we do not take this lightly. We want our customers to feel comfortable and ultimately end up with the home of their dreams. So, no matter what your dream is, let us help you make it come true!
