Modern design comprises various materials and perceptions. This is why this design can be a bit difficult to characterize. In fundamental terms, modern design is a reflection of modern art movement inside homes. There are many focal characteristics and themes that can be classified as modern design. Modernism is the exact opposite of more opulent designs including Renaissance, Gothic, and Victorian.<\/p>\n

Modern Design: A Rich History <\/strong><\/p>\n

Modern interior design is just a small section of a much larger modernist movement. Modernism is often attributed to the end of the 19^{th<\/sup> century where modern thinking was given birth.<\/p>\n}

Modernists were bent on deviating from the creative, intellectual and cultural norms that have been set during the period of Enlightenment. Movements against organized religion and old norms and mores were established and the fusion of politics and creativity was given emphasis. Everything else after this fell under the category of modernism with the sub-genres defined as futurism, cubism, Bauhaus, abstract expressionism, Neo-Dada, and minimalism.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the common components of what could be categorized as a modern home \u2013<\/p>\n

Everything Is Minimal <\/strong><\/p>\n
Minimalism is a huge part of modern design. The fundamentals of minimalism embraces the less is more <\/em>concept. The design in a modern home does not include complex moldings, columns, cabinet trim, or excessive color on textiles.<\/p>\n
Minimalism is living \u2013 not in scarcity but \u2013 in simplicity. It may look simple but this kind of style takes a lot of careful planning. This is necessary so that comfort is still attained while the layout is efficiently streamlined.<\/p>\n
The open floor layout can join different rooms in just one space. The counter in a kitchen, for instance, can provide a visual division between the areas for cooking and the areas where people can sit down and converse.<\/p>\n
Clean Lines <\/strong><\/p>\n
Modernism, simply put, is the exact opposite of previous interior designs what use carvings, heavy textures, and wood tones.<\/p>\n
Majority of the components of modern rooms \u2013 from the furniture to room shapes \u2013 include straight, clean lines with no intricate details. These differ from contemporary design which can have some curves and sweeping, sharper lines.<\/p>\n
With these said, there are different designs that fall under this furnishing category like Art Deco, Mission Style, and Shaker.<\/p>\n
Paired with furnishings are oversized tiles, sanded wood floors (with minimized grain), shelves, bookcases inset in walls, open floor layouts with very few walls, and the lack of doors, windows, moldings and trimming.<\/p>\n
Metal: The Star Material <\/strong><\/p>\n
Stainless steel and chrome are huge parts of any modern home. Modernism does away with wrought iron and other such traditional metal details. Any clean, polished metal is most welcome in a modern home. It is common to see stainless steel and chrome in furniture specifically on table legs or exposed chair frames.<\/p>\n
Chrome is also extensively used on railings, lamps, cabinet and door handles, and faucets. This metal, when polished, shines brightly and has a slight blue undertone which can make it appear quite cold<\/em>. Using metal, therefore, is awesome for those who are moving away from the lived in <\/em>lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Zero Clutter <\/strong><\/p>\n
What\u2019s tied with minimalism is the lack of clutter. Clutter can be defined in many different ways and among different people. Sometimes, lack of clutter could mean zero pottery, vases, knickknacks, collections, and any excessive accessories.<\/p>\n
Books, keepsakes, electronics, and other necessary items should be stored out of sight.<\/p>\n
Dramatic Colors <\/strong><\/p>\n
Many modern homes use shades of black or white while the bold colors are limited to the accents. The bolder colors are used sparingly and rarely used as an overall color. Bold colors could be included in abstract wall art, a large piece of furniture (e.g. a bright red sofa or an orange plastic table), throw pillows, an accent wall, or a throw rug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
