Embrace Minimalism

Modern design is often thought to be synonymous with minimalism but it can be a little more in-depth than embracing spare-looking spaces. Clean lines, a lack of clutter, and simplicity are what you’re trying to capture. This can be accomplished in many ways. The idea is to create open, airy spaces with a sense of calm. The best place to start is by doing a deep cleaning of your home: keep only the necessities and items that serve a clear purpose.

When choosing furniture for your minimalist space, avoid overly ornate pieces. Instead, choose pieces with clean lines and hidden storage to minimize clutter. Prioritize a neutral color palette as a base, introducing pops of color to create visual interest without overwhelming the space.

Utilize Open Floor Plans

If you’re doing a full-blown home renovation or are in the market for a new home, we recommend seeking out an open floor plan for modern interior design. Modern design aims to minimize barriers and walls in your home. Doing so will make your home feel larger, more united, and more freely flowing. While doors and privacy serve their purpose, open floor plans in the main living area are one of the best places to start when you’re trying to capture a modern interior design.

If doing a full remodel isn't a feasible option for you, there are ways to create an illusion of an open floor plan by using design continuity. Some ways to accomplish this are by using consistent flooring materials, furnishings, color schemes, and window treatment styles styles across adjacent rooms. This visual continuity helps spaces feel connected, even if they are physically separated.

Incorporate Natural Materials

Modern design often leans towards the industrial with materials like metal and glass. However, balancing these materials with natural elements like wood, stone, and textiles adds warmth and texture. These materials bring a sense of balance to the sleekness of modern design, making spaces feel more inviting.

Some ways to incorporate natural materials include wooden furniture, stone countertops, and natural fiber rugs. If your budget doesn’t allow for bigger changes, consider small touches, like potted plants or small wooden accent pieces.

One of our favorite ways to utilize natural materials is with modern window treatments like Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which use all-natural materials in a variety of woven textures. These window coverings come in multiple styles and colorways and lend themselves seamlessly to a modern interior design.
