I found this infographic reblogged on KiwiSims's TS4 Tumblr from
this source at Blogarama. I think it's a nice bit of inspirational prompting for beginners and pros alike!
You have probably heard of a Tudor or Georgian style home, but maybe never knew how to identify one on sight. Our guide to iconic home styles shows how dwellings in England, Italy, and France influenced the way we build our houses today in North America. This guide is a must-read for any real estate buff who prides themselves on their knowledge of architecture.
By reading our guide, you will learn how to identify homes based on their facade, style and amount of windows, roof, and siding. Not only is this helpful on a practical level, as it will increase your real estate knowledge, but it also serves as an interesting history lesson. Home styles have always been influenced by socioeconomic factors of the times they are conceived; watch how the period of Victorian opulence morphs into the Craftsman style during leaner times.

Do you have something on the Tuscan house, that is my favorite. would love to see what you have on it. I guess the closet thing you posted would be the Mediterranean one, but not quite Tuscon.
@Evalen I'm glad you like it the infographic isn't quite so comprehensive but you can always mix-and-match the styles.
You're welcome That's a good idea, paging @SimGuruBChick and @SimGuruDrake

@HowGreatThouArt Those are absolutely stunning! I'm so happy you found inspiration, but this is all you! The first one gives me a very modern, just-renovated feel on the wealthy streets of Connecticut. The second one looks soooo warm and inviting, like everybody's ideal childhood home. The third one looks like the home of a top government official - I say because it reminds me of 24 Sussex, where our PM here in Canada lives. (Or lived, it's falling apart. Maybe they can get you to redesign it.)
