    MODERN INTERIOR STYLE

    Understanding the Modern Style of Décor

    Modern design was meant to be the antithesis of the previous design styles which used
    heavy textures, carvings and wood tones throughout the home. Therefore, most
    components of modern design, from the furniture to the shape of the rooms, includes
    clean, straight lines with no additional detail. This differs slightly from contemporary
    design, which uses curves and sweeping lines, modern design’s lines are crisper
    sharper and very spare

    Origin and Developmemt


    The modern style is simple and unadorned. It is connected to the age of
    machination and is often referred to as that of the 1920s to 1950s. The modern
    style movement continued to grow in popularity throughout the first half of the
    20th century, and later derivatives of this style are known as mid-century modern
    and postmodern.

    Key characterstics of the Style


    This philosophy behind the modern style makes it a perfect decorating choice for
    those who like simple, uncluttered spaces with clean lines and a lack of fussy
    adornments. It goes well in the open floor plans that accompanied the
    development of this style.

    If you’re thinking of decorating a space in a modern style, here are a few things
    you should know.

    • Structural elements (such as concrete or beams) often left exposed


    • Emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines with fewer curves
    • Lack of fussiness or fluff
    • Low, horizontal furnishings with clean lines
    • Celebration of natural light and unadorned windows
    • Natural materials such as unpainted wood, metals, leather, and
    natural fibers.
    • A neutral colour pallets
    • Reflective surfaces such as steel, chrome, or glass
    • Natural woods and wood veneers

    Use of Colors
    A neutral is a colour that acts as a subtle background hue, which can easily be
    layered with other stronger colours.

    That makes neutrals a great blank canvas for you to get creative, giving your
    artwork and architectural features a chance to shine.

    A neutral color scheme can be anything from light neutrals, Such as cream and
    white, to darker shades, such as chocolate or Charcoal.
