Rome set the foundations of urban planning, of buildings layout, of architecture, and of interior design. Classical, Renaissance, Baroque and other styles reach their state-of-the-art in Rome. Romans set the foundation of the very principle of modern homes and buildings (which were called "insulae").
Homes were equipped on mass-scale with suwerage, water supply, private bathrooms and kitchens, sitting areas, gardens.
Romans excelled both in luxury villas and especially in Roman homes . Travelers have always been amazed by its lavish marble decorations, by its impressive and charactful building design, and by the quality of interior design and of the fittings.
Roman Homes always excelled for their accoutrements, and inspired architects for their sophisticated, often genial design, usually achieved by using simple elements or materials, combined together though in complex and most thought after plans.
It is no surprise that pilgrims, travelers, and even conquerors arrived in Rome for her sheer architectural beauty, which remains unsurpassed.
Nowadays Roman designers and architect conceive homes in which every element, every ingredient has either a symbolical or functional purpose, or the two aspects combined. The materials, the tiles used, along with the techniques, are among the most sophisticated in the world, rendering most pleasant and intimate homes.
