WHAT IS MODERN INTERIOR DESIGN?

Modern interior design refers to a specific style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and evolved through various phases such as the mid-20th century's Modernism. It's characterized by a clean, streamlined aesthetic that emphasizes simplicity and function. Modern interior is all about making spaces that are easy to live in, using technology and designs that fit our current lives, and keeping everything looking neat and pleasing.

NEUTRAL COLORS AND MATERIALS

The main colors used are often quiet and calm, like whites, blacks, and grays. Sometimes there are small touches of color, but they're usually quite soft. Modern design likes to use materials like wood, leather, stone, and natural fibers. These are often shown in their natural, unaltered look.

OPEN SPACES AND REFLECTIVE SURFACES

Rooms in modern design are usually open and airy, making the space feel bigger. Furniture is placed in a way that makes moving around easy. Things like glass, steel, and chrome are common. They help to reflect light and add a clean, sleek look to the space.

LINES AND SHAPES

Lines are important in modern design, whether they're straight, vertical, horizontal, or curved. They help guide the eye and shape how the space feels. By mastering lines and shapes, you can elevate the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your modern interior, whether updating a few pieces or undertaking a major renovation.

MINIMAL DECORATIONS

There isn't much clutter or many small decorative items. Artwork or decorations are chosen carefully to fit well with the overall look and usually stand out as key pieces. There is a wide variety of plants that can suit a modern aesthetic, from large leafy plants like the fiddle leaf fig to structured succulents and air plants. Each type can be matched with appropriate planters that enhance the modern decor, such as geometric shapes or sleek, minimalist pots.
