Colors: Walls should be tones of black, white, brown, gray, beige, and chrome. Bright colors are used as accent and accessories. Primary colors can add the splash of red, yellow or blue that makes that modern look have live within the room inself.
Walls: Walls are simple, without moldings or embellishment; painted white or neutral tones. Using glass as walls is an important touch in Modern Style. Contemporary art, such as Abstract Expressionism and Pop art add life and organic interest to the clean angularity of modern design
Floors: Natural elements: Wood, stone, brick, and cork compliment the open, airiness of modern interiors. Abstract patterned rugs, such as kilim rugs, help soften the linearity and add character to the modern interior.
Lighting: Track lighting, in combination with recessed ceiling cans or halogen ceiling spots, are utilized to direct light onto specific areas of the interior. For example, spotlighting a painting or centering an open plan room by emphasizing an object with a focused light beam. Smaller lamps will add interest. Items like globe lamps, or tubular lamps, for example. Going simple is the key for a modern look.
Windows: Plain white curtains or Venetian blinds allow light to enter the interior without detracting from the open, uncluttered spaces. Or for a daringly modern look, no window coverings at all!
