Modern interior design consists of clean geometry and a muted color scheme that became popular in the late 19th century. It takes a minimalistic approach to design, moving away from complex and cluttered Western design styles. Modern interiors are sleek with clean lines and natural materials. If you are trying to change the look of your house or office from traditional to more modern. Here are some easy tips.

Plan out your space beforehand

Every project starts with some planning, try to get a sketch together before you start redecorating to visualize your idea before you begin your project. Start by taking measurements of your rooms and the larger objects within them so you know the size and shape of your canvas. Now we are ready to start sketching! Include walls and indicate their measurements, the color/colors you will be painting them, the objects you would like to install and hang. Then move on to furniture, tables, chairs and other objects you would like to place around the room.

Declutter!!

Simplicity is the hallmark of modern, elegant design. With natural colors and clean lines, modern spaces are a testament to the old age that "less is more." Removing any clutter from your space will automatically make the room feel more refreshed and spacious. Minimalist designs always have their original image, allowing you a cleaner, wider space to focus on the details of each piece. Sometimes the perfect chair is the only thing needed because it reflects its beauty.

Harmonious Color Palette

When you choose the color scheme you determine the outcome of the whole project. The choice of colors determines the mood of the creation, the level of energy that will be conveyed, and whether it’s pleasant to the occupant. Make sure you take your palette with you when you are shopping for furniture and decor. Choose at least one color and piece that will add a natural touch to your space.

Include Art

Artwork can really help bring your project to life. Art improves the quality of our lives and personalizes our living and workspace. You can also use art to help tie your color palette together. Be sure to stick to the same art style to prevent your area from becoming overwhelming.

Line Focused

Modern interior design ideas are often built around simple, clean lines. Strong vertical and horizontal lines in modernist architecture are emulated in furniture and decor designs. Try to incorporate furniture with geometric shapes and solid tones.
