Sleek, clean lines and minimalist furniture are often the cornerstones
for modern décor as we know it. A sort of rebellion to the opulent - and popular - mid-century modern
décor, modern interior design is marked with shades of
beige and crisp whites, mirrored and beautifully contoured furniture, and surprising
splashes of color. You’ll also find black furniture, and darker wood tones to
contrast white, beige, and tan base colors. It is often the most popular design
style among young homeowners and professionals because young people tend to be
more metropolitan and city-savvy, living in lofts, high-rises, and town homes. Not
only is it chic, it is also functional. A minimalist approach to decorating
keeps homeowners from having an abundance of furniture to clean. Less
draperies, less throw blankets, less tablecloths are all key components to successful
modern design; adopt the “Less is More” motto.
