I travel a lot and Living in Abuja has given me an opportunity to explore. I've seen great buildings with beautiful interiors and all I can do is wish I own one of these buildings. There are a few things that attract me to a house aside from the interior designs, which is one of the most important things I consider in owning a house of my own. I love whatever is simple, a few chairs and tables, then a shelf and probably a mini bar where I sit to take a drink.
Jam-packed houses don't illuminate the beauty of a house even when the interior is perfect. One of my wealthy uncles who's late now has a house well decorated in and out. Millions were spent to decorate the house into what he wanted but he was married to four wives who had a lot of properties to keep. The jam-packed load unfortunately hid the beauty of the room. The less jam-packed the rooms are, the more beautiful it looks. So I love a simple parlour with good interior design.
I also love a house with a swimming pool in it. I may not use it often, but I love the settings carrying a pool. I once visited a house where I went to work, the compound was big. The man had a bar and a swimming pool there and also a shade he made for relaxation. Knowing I have a place I can relax or come out to swim, gives me a special feeling. I'll like my compound to be big, this is for my kids to play. I fancy a house where a big space is kept aside for recreational purposes.
Finally, lightning is a must. View a building with a sufficient lighting system at night and you'll feel as if you're in paradise. Even if a house is not too classic, a good lightning provided to it will make it look like a paradise. I like houses with different colors of light and plenty of lights channeled into every corner of the house. It itself makes a room comfortable to sleep in and beautiful to behold.
I don't like storey buildings, I prefer a well designed flat with a big parlour, a big kitchen, a big bathroom and toilet, then three bedrooms, a study room, and a store. The floor was designed with 3D wallpaper and the ceiling made with white POP cement with lightning fixed into it. In conclusion, I like a well designed flat with great interior design with a large compound to set up a swimming pool and basketball court.
