What sort of house (or whatever) would you live in, if you could choose and money and other practical stuff was no concern?

How would you decorate the interior? What about the garden (if there is one)?

Are there any fictional houses that you really like or want to live in?

I don't even know where to start with this because I have an endless supply of dream homes, but I will say that every one of them has a huge library and a lot of octopus-related decor. Like maybe some of them have a special octopus room because that theme would clash with the rest of the house.

Two stories. 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A basement converted into a full theater room.

My bedroom would have rustic furniture with modern fixtures. Bathrooms would be modern. Kitchen would be super modern. Living areas would be more rustic. No walls would be blue. >:

When I was young, my cousin had a house located well in the town he lived in, 3 floors, small but big enough for him and his wife and child. It was adorable. I don't want anything too big cos it would take too long to clean and you don't know what's going on at the other side of the house.

Decorated simply. Wood floors and rugs cos it's easier to clean. Neutral calming colours.

Although tbh my #1 requirement in a place I live is a fan oven because I can't deal with conventional ones.

Two story Oceanside cottage around 1800sqft. No basement. Solar panels plus wood burning stove for special occasions. A nice soundproofed loft bedroom/office/vanity for the SO upstairs, and downstairs an open concept kitchen and living area with a gas stove and a small bar counter for entertaining. My bedroom would be just off the kitchen with it's own private vanity/toilet as well.

Separate bath house off the ocean-facing covered deck with a stone ofuro spa and separate shower. Heated stone floors. Picture window for viewing the sea as you soak.

Something not too large and not too high-maintenance. Ample storage. Pops of bright color. Modern decor. Not cluttered. Big garden with lots of flowers, and small or no lawn. Cool trees.

I'd love to own a microhome, and while I'm not sure that's the home I want to live in forever, I kind of want it to be the first home I buy.

A starkly modernist, one-story/basement home overlooking the city, at the edge of the woods. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. A small army of Roombas patrol the spacious interiors.

Decoration would be a lot of brass, I think, along with loads of framed posters.

An apartment. Either not too high up or with an elevator. With a balcony: so the cat can get fresh air, guests who smoke have a place to go, and to store a potentially smelly trash can. Lots of light, open spaces. But thick curtains that I can close at night. I don't need a bathtub, but I'd love one of those big fancy walk-in showers. As for decorating, it would depend on the space. I would like one of those ginormous sofas that take up half the living room. A really soft comfy one, so that if I (or someone else) fall asleep on the sofa, it won't matter.

One or two rooms, one story, extreme minimalist.

I like well designed tinyhouses but most look way too cluttered. (Muji's is nice.)

Edit:

WAIT AM I ALLOWED TO SAY SPACE STATION

because then one or two room, one story, extreme minimalist space station.

I'd love to have an older house where someone had remodeled it to have one of those modern master bedrooms that's overly large with a big walk-in closet and the closet would be big enough for a Queen or King bed. I would then turn the closet into a bedroom (assuming this would pass code - let's say there's a window in the closet) and it would be all nice and cozy. The former master bedroom would then become a place for all those other things people pack into their bedrooms that aren't actually about sleep (or sex) - exercise space/equipment, an office area, a TV and comfy seating to watch it (like a private mini living room/den). One wall would be fitted out with stuff from one of those closet systems like you see at Ikea or The Container Store and would become a sort of "inside-out" closet. So, I could still have all that clothes storage and stuff that gets hidden in the bedroom in a non-"public" part of the house (i.e. not the living room or kitchen or a place like that) but it wouldn't be in the room where I sleep, so it wouldn't be distracting.

Hmmm...

I want a castle on a mountain. With a moat, and a lagoon out back with a waterfall. There would be a vegetable garden, because I like fresh veggies. There would also be an a trampoline out back, and a zip line.

The interior...uh...

The artwork would be of natural landscapes. Deserts, forests, beaches, etc. The furniture would be roccoco-inspired. Except for my writing room, which would be much simpler. Maybe that room would be modern. And I'd have a library straight out of 'Beauty and the Beast.' And a bathroom straight out of 'The Little Mermaid.' And a dungeon straight out of '50 Shades of Gray'!

Also, a woodshed out back. And a cemetery and Gothic Cathedral.

I've always wanted to live in a Victorian house with a turret room that I could turn into a study/library. If I could build a house, it'd be a small one with two rooms, a little kitchen, a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and a library with a secret room because secret rooms are cool. I'd paint it in different shades of blue and the garden would be small and full of wildflowers with a few stones leading to the door.

I'd definitely have an extra room as a library and probably a movie viewing room because those are both two things I love (possibly combine the two, maybe?)

I really want a cape cod style house with a basement, I've even been looking for one but haven't found it in my price range.

I also need a super fully functional kitchen. I want two ovens because I bake a lot and I could get a lot more done with two ovens.

It would be modern and minimalistic with huge windows and metallic framework. The color palette would be black, white and gray with a cool, calming atmosphere. Two stories with a loft and a library. I'd want it in the woods on a mountain lake in the northwest, maybe Washington, where dense fog would come off of the water early in the morning. Outside, on the lake, there would be a two story dock where my dad could visit and take his sailboat out and my nieces, nephews, sisters and brother could go out and swim when the weather permitted. Enough room (hopefully somewhat separated by split levels or guest houses) for my large family to visit regularly.

A big garden with good soil that I could afford to water. I would grow all the stuff I currently grow, but it wouldn't look like shit from drought, plus food. Right now my roses just kind of hang on but they don't do well and even flower bulbs don't thrive, it's too dry and I'm too poor to pay that kind of water bill with our rate increases. I'd grow corn, tomatoes, beans, squash, strawberries, melons, fruit trees, grapes, and I dunno, pretty much everything.
Oh yeah, the house. Eh, one that didn't leak, without termites or roaches, and the appliances all worked. Lots of natural light and room for books and crafting stuff. Queen Annes are fun. And it would have to be in an area with good public transit since I don't and shouldn't drive. As far as fictional houses go, Bag-End is beautiful, and so is Mr. Gold's/Rumpelstiltskin's Queen Anne, which is actually a real house, on Once Upon a Time

I want a cob house that's completely self-sustaining. The interior would ideally take inspiration from John Wild's own cob home, and dark Victorian interiors. Maybe with a bit of baroque thrown here and there. And my garden would have a pond I could swim in.

If it seems like I've been thinking a lot about this, it's because I have. I'm planning on building my own little cob house at some point.

I want my own, relatively small apartment with one bedroom, one bathroom. I want to have lots of shelves for my books and notebooks and nicknacks like my piggy bank and movies. I want a table with four chairs and plates and bowls all in different pretty colors. I want my apartment to be in a safe part of town. I want pretty curtains and a big bed with tons of pillows too.

I want a super-historically-accurate (but with modern plumbing and electricity) Roman villa of the sort that a really wealthy Roman family would have had. Super fancy with an awesome garden in the peristylium that features a fake lil island with a tiny scale model of the villa on it :D

I also want a massive Victorian Painted Lady with fully restored interior and preferably a bit of land under it. Modest desires, aren't they?

A green home (meaning, recycled glass counter tops, solar panels, etc.) somewhere on the coast of New Hampshire or Massachusetts (or Oregon). And jeez...i love Art Nouveau, I love the furniture and things that Alphonse Mucha designed, but I also love like - Mission-style furniture and big, brocade pillows and things.... It would be pretty damn eclectic. With every kind of glass-doored bookshelf ever made for all my books.

About three acres of land would be plenty for me, with the sea in view and walking distance.
*happy sigh*

I would take Bag End, tbh. (Just, give me electricity.)

There are a million other homes I would like, but Bag End is so gorgeous and the first one that comes to mind.

Ideally a two-bedroom apartment in Salem with my best friend, with a common room big enough to have a modest Wiccan altar in (failing that, carve a pentagram into the top of the coffeetable).

Scooby Doo/Nancy Drew/Clue style haunted mansion with secret passageways and hidden rooms

Built around an indoor fishpond.

(Not my photo but I'm delighted because I stayed there!)

Decent sized yard, attached forest. It would be decorated with bits and bobs from my life or things I've seen and liked. Tiles and wood

I would have an overgrown veggie and herb patch. A couple of fruit trees. Fenced off chicken pen. Nice high privacy fences.

I like the location of my current house, but would add to it, cus it's a small bungalow. Put additions on the main floor--sun room on one end and a large enough addition on the other side for a library and a couple office set ups (one for me, one for sis). Make the kitchen larger--and have a pantry area with upright and chest freezers. Move the bathroom into a larger room for our main floor bathroom. And put the living room at the front of the house where the current bedroom and computer room are. Oh, and a closet by the front door for coats and boots and stuff. Add a second floor with two large bedrooms with en-suites and walk in closets and a third bedroom for guests. Decks off the bedrooms. Finish the basement and make it a smallish theatre room. Add a 2 car garage.

The other option would be to either reno or build a house over to the shore (near where my mum's family is from). A two story Victorian style house with at least one turret--upstairs would be my bedroom, downstairs it would be the library/office. Huge kitchen, open concept. Theatre room in the finished basement, living room and formal dining room on the main floor. At least two other bedrooms upstairs. My bedroom would be fucking huge (i've only ever had small bedrooms...) with walk in closet and en-suite. And a small deck off the bedroom with a view over the bay....and a couple acres of treed land surround the house. 2 car garage. A deck/porch off the main floor that again, overlooked the bay.

At either place, the kitchen would be black cabinets, black counter tops with stainless steel appliances--walls would be off white with a purple tint--just enough to say there's a bit of colour. My bedroom would be various shades of purple--again probably pale on the walls, but darker with furnishings/bed coverings. Silver/grey accents. Matching furniture in the other areas. As tempting as it would be to do everything purple, I wouldn't simply because I would like some variety.

And with these houses would come enough money to hire people to do the yard work year round.

I'd like a spacious English country house style manor sitting on hundred or so acres of land, surrounded by thick woodland. I'd like several natural springs on my property so it'd have its own water supply. A fruit orchard would be nice, and a large organic vegetable garden as well as an ornamental garden with fish ponds and flowers. Actually I'd really love a series of walled gardens, each room with its own theme: Japanese tea garden, moss garden, garden with night-blooming flowers, rose garden, bees/hummingbird garden, water garden, tropical garden, herb garden, medieval garden, etc.

The house interior would have wings and courtyards, so guests could have their own space and privacy. I'd want a large kitchen with a walk-in fridge and freezer and an enormous pantry. A three story library with a stone fireplace and lots of comfortable chairs and reading nooks. A tower bedroom so I could look out in all directions.

I think about this all the time, especially when I'm stressed. It's a calming exercise. :)
