Top 65 Home Ideas in October

From Low-Pressure Pillows to Doorless Apartment Designs

Small-scale prefabricated homes, doorless apartment designs and playhouses constructed out of concrete are just a few of the top October 2016 home ideas. These creative home ideas offer a look into some of the creative concepts that modern consumers are employing to tackle issues like sustainability, the high cost of home ownership and renting, saving space and minimizing their own waste.

Some of the most unconventional home designs include converted school bus homes, shipping container penthouses and modernist river houseboats.

Inside the home, consumers are taking on inventive DIY projects such as wooden plywood staircases that can be made with a CNC machine and leather coasters, both of which offer unique ways to adorn a space with customized projects.
