Folk architecture is simple and designed according to the needs and made of handy materials. It is not only functional but the decoration expresses the artistic skills of its masters. In western Serbia the characteristic house is wooden with a farmstead. It is predominantly built of wood and most often it consists of two rooms: the house and the room. On the house there is a four sided roof covered with straw and usually has a decorative chimney. Moravka is a type of ground floor house consisting of two parts, with an obligatory porch. It is mostly present in the Moravia region of Serbia. For the Panonic-Danubian regions the in-long or transversal house is characteristically made out of earth (firmly packed earth) or out of bricks in the street formation. These ground floor houses usually have more low rooms used for living and agricultural needs. The city architecture south of Sava and Danube expressed shapes of the East Balkan construction heritage. The houses are floor houses with a number of sleeping rooms. Houses in the whole region of Serbia are of the shape that with its form and decoration expresses esthetic needs and the defined style. On the house and inside the house the porch arches are shaped, chimneys and the window. There was coloring and painting of other parts of the house especially at the beginning of the 20th century. Special care was given to the decoration of the entrance gates and of fences.
