Bauhaus composition
Bauhaus is defined by strict geometry, flat planes, and a clear separation of structure and ornament. It typically uses steel, glass, concrete, and plaster, with an emphasis on functional detailing and built-in simplicity. The palette is usually restrained, often white, black, gray, and occasional primary accents.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Bauhaus-style home feel warm, or is it always stark?
It can feel warmer when you balance the hard materials with wood, textiles, and softer lighting, while keeping the overall geometry simple.
Does Bauhaus work in a small house?
Yes, because the style favors compact, efficient layouts and uncluttered surfaces that can make small spaces feel more open.
What should I avoid if I want a true Bauhaus look?
Avoid heavy ornament, overly decorative profiles, mixed historical details, and busy color combinations that compete with the clean forms.
