We love peeking into stylish homes and being inspired by innovative design from all over the world. And if you’re reading our blog, we bet you do too!

We decided to start House Tour Tuesday, a weekly feature on our Facebook fan page in which we feature a unique homes every Tuesday. This is a round-up of the house tours we’ve taken our fans on over the month of January.

Grab your passports because we’re taking you around the globe to some of the most interesting homes!

The first house tour of 2011 has to be one of the most unusual homes we’ve seen! Built in the Portland forests of the US, this curvaceous grand lady took seven years to be realised.

This home allows for panoramic views of the surrounding lush forest, making it a home we’d love to escape to for a weekend break! You can see the gallery of images here.

Now we head into downtown Manhattan to see Country Living magazine’s Home of the Year 2010. Every year Country Living builds and decorates an entire house. Last year they built an environmentally friendly cottage.

The modular 1,607 square foot prefab cottage brings old-world charm to a bustling city while reminding visitors that it is possible to create a beautifully stylish green home! We particularly love the shutters of course. Take the tour on our Facebook fan page here.

And if you’d love to turn your home into an eco-friendly building, read more about our range of Decowood shutters and eco-friendly blinds.

Andiamo in Italia! That’s right; we’re visiting a home in Italy next. The Vento House is a modern and minimalist four-story building designed by MZC Architettura.

Neutral-colour materials are complemented by pops of intense colours from paintings or furniture pieces. See more here.

Now we hop over into the Netherlands where Dutch architects Maxwan, transformed this old barn into a spacious modern family home.

The home a multifunctional structure; it holds the kitchen, storage, library and the stairs to a second level. White painted interiors ensure airy feeling but by exposing the original wooden beams, the home maintains a sense of history. See more photographs here.
