Located in Moravia, the Czech Republic, this gorgeous [family home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg) is the work of design firm DESIGN ATAK. Creating a contemporary and fresh interior to harmoniously fuse in with its rural surroundings, this modern country house is made mostly of oak wood -- which is the traditional furniture material used in the area. “We tried to keep the interior simple and bright by using [natural shade of wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-house) and lighter colors with combination of anthracite to create balanced contrast,” says DESIGN ATAK. What makes the home so unique is how the space is designed around a loft-like room to keep the whole house connected. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Country House Design:** There is an opportunity for furniture and home decor brands to offer modern country-style pieces that fuse rustic and luxe designs. - **Incorporating Natural Materials:** There is an opportunity for construction and building materials companies to innovate the market by sourcing sustainable and natural materials like oak wood. - **Loft-like Home Designs:** There is an opportunity for real estate developers to create loft-like homes with designs that keep the whole house connected. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture and Home Decor:** Design firms can collaborate with these industries to create modern country-style furniture and home decor that fuse rustic and luxe designs. - **Construction and Building Materials:** There is an opportunity for these industries to source sustainable and natural materials like oak wood to innovate the market. - **Real Estate Development:** Real estate developers can incorporate loft-like designs to their homes, keeping the entire house connected to take advantage of open rooms and natural lighting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Renovated Rural Farmhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-place-in-the-country.md) - [Contemporary Countryside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-countryside-home.md) - [Log Cabin-Inspired Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balbek-bureau.md) - [Old Mill-Transformed Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-house-with-old-mill.md) - [Barn Home Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulls-barn.md) - [Contemporary Wooden Blue Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-cabin.md) - [Renovated 19th-Century Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byr-architekti.md) - [Modern Dark Tonal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texas-residence.md) - [Sustainable Country Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-oaks-farm.md)
