Modern decorating is illustrated by an uncluttered and sleek look. The furniture has clean lines and tends to be metallic or glass. Modern interior design tends to be made up of neutral walls with one color used throughout the room. This may be done with accessories and even an accent wall. Items such as tables and office furniture are geometric in shape and sleek by design. Does this Spark an idea?
Paint
The hallmark of modern decorating is neutral colored walls. If the rooms are warm-toned choose paint that is warmer, such as cream or a soft beige. If the rooms are cool-toned, choose a very light blue-gray or off-white color. To add a fun touch, paint one wall as an accent wall. In modern design, the decor is neutral with one color used as an accent in the room. The accent wall should match that color.
Furniture
The furniture, such as the couches, should also be in neutral tones, such as soft beige, cream or gray. The couches tend to be low to the ground, with sleek lines reminiscent of Scandinavian decor. One element of modern decor is the use of glass and metallic finishes in furniture. Incorporate that into your room by using a coffee table and side tables with a metallic finish and perhaps a glass top.
Accessories
Add rugs and other accessories to play up the modern design in your home. Large rugs in neutral colors, such as white or gray, will tie in your decor. Add in throw pillows and vases in your accent color of choice, such as orange or green. Keep in mind that the overall look should be uncluttered and clean looking.
Art
Feel free to add some artwork to your modern space. However, less is more. Add a painting or print that has blocks of color in it and uses some of the neutral tones in your room. Also, choose a print that had your accent color of choice as the main color. Do not add more than one or two prints to each room.
