A Tuscan style home is a type of architectural design that is inspired by the rural farmhouses and villas of the Tuscany region in central Italy. Tuscan homes often feature a warm, rustic aesthetic, with stucco or stone exteriors, terracotta or clay tile roofs, and arched or barrel-vaulted ceilings. They often have large windows and French doors that open to outdoor spaces, and make use of natural materials such as wood and iron. Inside, Tuscan homes typically feature warm colors, distressed finishes, and natural stone or terra cotta tile flooring. They often have a comfortable and cozy feel and the design incorporates elements that reflect the rural and natural environment such as natural stone, terracotta, and rough-hewn beams.
