At first glance this home may not be as impressive as some, but that is by design. The short walls and horizontal lines of a prairie home are meant to evoke the simplistic beauty of the prairie landscape. An open floor plan and ample number of windows let in the light and views of nature. The goal of a prairie home is to be elegant, not ostentatious, while mimicking the colors and feeling of the landscape.
However, Frank Lloyd Wright left some room for decorative elements such as these gorgeous front doors. With only straight lines and earthy colors, these stained glass doors provide an artistic flare while keeping with the home’s architectural style. This Prairie home illustrates the fact that clean lines and natural materials can create a welcoming and relaxing home.
