Modern Interior Design

The modern interior design style is very minimalistic and can come across as uninviting an cold. Many people appreciate the look of it, but in real life this style is very rare to find. Builders and architects incorporate modern interior design elements in homes, which can be combined with softer element from other design styles to warm it up to make it unique and welcoming.
 Main design elements:

• The modern interior design style is dominated by a neutral colour palette with bold colour contrasts to create more interest. The monochromatic colour scheme (mostly black and white) combined with hints of blue, red and green. 
• Crisp angles, sharp lines and the absence of ornaments are essential in order to create this very sleek look.
• Roller blinds, vertical blinds and venetian blinds matching the colour scheme are mostly used as window treatments. Metal hardware in chrome, brushed nickel and powder coated aluminum is preferably used for this design style.
• Modern fabrics with geometric patterns can be found in blinds, area rugs and upholstery fabrics. Throw pillows in a contrast colour is the perfect punch of colour for a modern monochromatic colour scheme.
• Ideal furniture pieces for this design style have clean lines and basic shapes. Metal, chrome or glass are streamlined with polished, sleek and smooth surfaces.
• This style is clutter less and accessories are hardly found in this design style and large pieces of art are preferred to this design style.
• Open floor plans are essential to the modern style and design features like fire places, built in cabinets and stairwells are created from basic geometric shapes and have clean lines.
