The features of todays' modern mountain architecture take their cues from design elements established long ago. Open floor plans, the use of local materials, exposed craftsmanship, a pleasing color palette and low maintenance landscaping, are timeless features that make for easy living in the mountains.

Rustic decor is a natural choice for mountain homes. Opt for wood-paneled walls, exposed beams, and reclaimed wood furniture to create a warm, inviting ambiance. Incorporate elements like antler chandeliers, stone fireplaces, and leather upholstery to complete the rustic look.
