Being in an ethnic style house seems to be able to awaken romanticism and the traditional atmosphere of the past.
Each ethnic style house is always
identical with a peaceful, comfortable, relaxed, and serene atmosphere. The
atmosphere is as if transferring you back to the ' roots ' that you leave when
the rush and the hassles of life are increasingly burdensome. Whoever will feel
at home is in it.
If you have ever seen a Javanese
ethnic home design, you will feel the same thing. Similarly, when you visit a
variety of simple ethnic houses scattered throughout Indonesia, such as Rumah
Gadang traditional Minangkabau, Rumah di Loka, traditional House of West Nusa
Tenggara, Rumah Betang West Kalimantan, and so on.
Comfort in the simple ethnic the house lies in the blend of space hierarchy, the composition of the space, and
the visual characteristics created from the merging of several elements at the
same time that is lighting, color, and proportions.
If your home decor style is only
transitory, contemporary, or modern, it's hard to know how to turn it into a
simple traditional home design without actually redecorating your entire home.
However, if your budget is limited, don't worry. It is still possible to
redesign the House of ethnic style with a modern twist without completely
remodel.
Here are some important changes
you can do around the house of ethnic styles to preserve traditional culture,
no matter what style you apply today.
1. Secrets of natural elements
By. cntraveller
The interior design of ethnic
style houses is often attributed to the style of Rustic architecture which in
Bahasa Indonesia means ' rusty ' or old (ancient). This concept is based on
environmental awareness and emphasizes natural elements and elements that have
not yet been fabricated. Most of the material used has a rough surface texture
because it is deliberately left natural and not much in-finishing.
In Indonesia, the interior design of the rustic house has been applied frequently, especially for ethnic style house building that adheres to traditional architecture, such as traditional and customary houses. The design of a simple rustic traditional house also has the essence that brings out the natural impression for the space users, and offers a rustic feel with the material to the composition of a room element that is natural, rusty, has a large dimension, not even finishing, sanded, or diacid to accentuate the vernacular side. With the concept of nature-based, the material comes from nature such as wood, stone, metal, and so on the process with the method of 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).
2. Mixed-Combo Concept

The interior design concept of an
ethnic style house can use an eclectic concept that combines two elements or
styles into a separate shape in one room. This style combines elements of
historical style from the past to create something new and original. In
architecture and interior design, these elements include building structures,
furniture, decorative motifs, historical ornaments, traditional cultural motifs
or styles from other countries.
This design concept of an
eclectic style simple house does not look formal and rigid because the view of
the room is not solely focused on the traditional concept. Besides, the room
will also appear more dynamic and cheerful.
3. Classical Romanticism

For those of you who love a
little touch of luxury, the interior design of ethnic style houses can also be
combined with a classical concept that prioritizes composition, balance,
perfect harmonization, and very detailed elements.
The interior design of ethnic style houses that use the classic concept generally have a lot of focal points manifested through the details of furniture and ornaments and accentuate the scale and proportions. As with the Joglo Ksatriankarya of MOM Architect, the classic concept is highlighted through a detailed focal point of furniture and classical chandeliers, although not too excessive. This concept can show the room looks more luxurious, elegant, and reminds us of the past.
4. Smart-Tech Innovations
You might ask, is it possible to incorporate the style of a simple ethnic house with a futuristic concept? The futuristic concept is designed by relying on imagination about the space to be used in the future. This design usually uses metal material and fabrication materials with high efficiency and technology.
The design of this concept house will create innovations based on smart technology so the unique and iconic design in the surrounding environment.
5. Traditional Minimalist
Because today's minimalist modern concept is becoming a trend, you can certainly combine the design of an ethnic style house with a minimalist concept. The minimalist concept emphasizes the simplicity, function, or effectiveness and economic factors of the user so that limiting the use of ornaments to a minimum may not even use it at all because it plays more composition of geometric areas.
The design of an ethnic modern
minimalist house is indeed anti-ornament, while the opposite House ethnic style
has a characteristic-rich in ornaments. Combining these two concepts is a big
challenge. To overcome this, you can restrict the use of ornaments and add
natural materials such as wood, stone, metal, or other natural materials. Or,
if not possible, choose the furniture that is natural and without excessive
ornaments.
Since this concept emphasizes the use of the ornaments to a minimum, you can get rid of some unnecessary ornaments and accentuate some structural or functional elements to maintain the traditional elements with smooth finishing.
6. The essence of communal space
The main principle that needs to be observed in ethnic style house design is to prioritize the function of communal spaces. In this case, for example, Pendopo which is a communal space has become a multifunctional room for its occupants, either as a living room, living room, dining room, or function room. Similarly, the spacious terrace in the Betawi House also serves as a communal space.
Joglo interior Design in Javanese ethnic house is generally made widely by limiting the insulation of the room or wall that is permanent. This spacious area is precisely used for communal space that is the core of an ethnic style house. You can accentuate this communal space by creating whatever style you want.
The principle of communal space
also applies to other traditional houses. In addition to receiving guests, this
communal space is also used as a family gathering area, dining area, or other
traditional ceremonies, as the Aceh ethnic style house above.
7. Typical ornament pattern
If you want to keep the traditional elements, you should pay attention to the ornaments contained in each ethnic style house. Traditional style house interiors often use floral ornament patterns in the form of crop tenures or tree branches. Not only on walls, but also on carvings, columns, doors, windows, and other home elements. Why floral patterns? Because this pattern relates to flowers or plants that are firmly attached to the traditional life in the countryside.
Unlike contemporary styles that
tend to look lean and form a ' straight-line ', traditional styles tend to
employ a refined and curved design. If you notice batik patterns, Kris carving,
wooden sculptures, or stripes on the songket fabric, you will find regularity,
consistency, and detail.
8. Symmetrical & Paired
One characteristic of ethnic style home models is the selection of furniture for interior design is always paired, for example, chairs, doors, windows, and other ornaments. This characteristic reflects the conventional value, the partner of life, and the slope.
In addition to the pairing the principle, the traditional design relies heavily on symmetrical balance in all aspects of interior design, from architecture to furniture placement. A pair of ethnic style seats, matching lamps or vases, must be more prominent in simple traditional home designs.
Although you don't want to stray
too far from the symmetrical placement, there are clever tricks to prevent the
room from impressing static. Use the mirror on one of the walls, hang up the
artwork, place the carpet in irregular shapes or place a cocktail table next
to the Chair.
9. Recycling vs Modern
Simple traditional Home design does not use sophisticated-looking furniture, but it often uses recycled furniture. The ingredients do not buy so, but they have a special touch and personal. For example, furniture from recycled wood remains antique furniture or rattan. You can combine it with a bit of modern touch on some furniture or ornaments.
10. Monochromatic Color
Simplicity is inseparable from the traditional style. In the interior design of modern ethnic homes, this characteristic is applied through the use of intrusive colors, such as neutral colors close to nature, for example, chocolate or white. The colors of Earth, wood, trees, and plants were selected to accentuate the impression.
The colors used tend to be monochromatic or matching with no contrasting colors that impress the festive and crowded. The impression of peace and tranquility is crucial in supporting visual characteristics in the design of a simple traditional house.
Though neutral colors are always
safe, if you want to appear more bold and dynamic, think of pastel colors like
blue, purple, green, soft red, light yellow, and so on. However, if you want to
maintain the style of ethnic homes, set aside other colors and stay on the
principle of the simple traditional house design.
11. Exposure
Lighting on a simple traditional house design tends to be dimmer to create a sense of authority and shahada. Javanese people especially consider "aji" or house authority as one of the important factors in the interior arrangement. This kind of lighting technique is also applicable in almost all other customary houses.
12. Little Matchy-matchy
A carefully and strictly planned color palette is the hallmark of a simple traditional house design. Consider choosing a unique curtain cloth if you like a specific type of cloth or color, such as curtain curtains on a bed or window.
