Unlike country-style interiors, where accessories and accents are “layered” to produce a charmingly messy effect, the modern style is based on minimalism. In the absence of objects there is space, and this space itself is a design element. The open spaces automatically draw your attention to the few pieces that are used, from a sleek streamlined chair to a bold swirl of abstract art. Therefore, the furniture, accessories and accessories used to define the style must be strong and united by color, texture, pattern or style. Unobstructed, uncluttered, sparse and efficient, the clean, open look of the modern style would be cold and utilitarian without personality and warmth that is infused with color, texture, art, and accessories.
If you want to create a modern stylish interior, it is necessary to include certain defining elements. These are the elements that define the modern style.
o An open floor plan: Gone are the walls that define “rooms” in traditional interiors. Modern interior spaces are open and airy, often divided only by modular furniture, low cabinets, glass bricks, and even movable screen walls.
o Monochromatic simplicity: the walls, which set the backdrop for an interior of any style, are mainly neutral in a modern setting: gray, white and shades of brown or tan predominate, while a bold color can be used on a focal wall. Wall colors can be repeated on the floor with low-pile carpet, tile, concrete, or wood, or the floor can offer a great contrast – gleaming polished hardwood floors in a deep mahogany stain, for example, can counterbalance. pale dove gray walls.
o Glass walls: Glass is essential in modern design, both in furniture and in simple, no-frills window treatments that allow the outside view to become part of the room. Entire glass walls that open to a mountain view, ocean view, or city skyline are an important part of the room’s design. If sun protection is needed, minimalist solar shades are often used so that the outside view is not obstructed. If there isn’t a good view to highlight, one is often created with an indoor waterfall, modern fireplace, or oversized piece of wall art.
o The importance of color in accents: Against this monochrome background, accents play a crucial role in shaping the style and tone of the room. Strong explosions of red, ocher, cerulean blue, or freshly cut green are repeated throughout the space. The style is also marked by accents: an abstract painting reminiscent of Jackson Pollock will have a different impact than a retro wall decoration of the 1930s. The colors that appear in an abstract painting or a metal wall sculpture are they will find again in pillows, vases, table sculptures or light fixtures. Because glass, leather, and polished metal are so prevalent, the opposite texture will provide relief; so sisal or coir rugs, tufted knotty fabrics, and woven baskets or twig arrangements are often used in the mix.
o The importance of lighting – Personality and style are defined by lighting used to highlight art and accessories and convey the mood. Unobtrusive accessories like recessed lights or halogen lights on dimmer switches can create visual excitement on dramatic wall art or soften the space around a dining room. Rays of light can even be used to create art through the pattern or design they project onto the wall.
o Furniture: Modular pieces abound, such as leather sofas and stackable chrome tables. Glass tops keep the look open and spacious. Don’t feel limited to black and white. Leather and micro suede in brown, gray, white are other options. Geometric patterns of fabric, stripes, dots, and swirls can be mixed within the same color family to create visual excitement and continuity throughout the space.
o Sleek Modern Appliances – From the HD flat screen TV to the industrial edge to the sleek stainless steel kitchen appliances, function and style come together in every room. Clutter is prohibited on the countertops and only those accessories or gadgets that add to the style are on display.
