Accessory-free space, clean lines and neutrals with primary colors, if you love all that then modern design may be the style for you. Modern Style design is clean-lined and focuses first and foremost on function and avoids the excessive accessories and decorative elements seen in many other styles. Some people feel the modern design is too simple, harsh or cold, however when well planned it can promote a sense of calmness and simplicity to a space may be it home, office, and other spaces. The essence of modern interior design includes basic shapes, functional lines and curves, materials like metal, chrome, and glass – and furnishings without decorative parts. If you want clean, simple and serene interiors.
The furniture used in a modern interior designed space is streamlined with polished, smooth and sleek surfaces. Pieces are simple with bold geometric forms, uncluttered, built for economy of form, and to serve a purpose.
Modern style embraced pure color — black, white, and neutrals with vibrant primary colors. Today, color schemes still use white and neutrals, with colorful accents. Too many different colors will overpower the balance of your modern room. Colors enhance the overall impact of your space. Bold contrast using reds, greens, or black, for example, can provide a visual back drop on a wall, for large pieces; bold color can emphasize the lines of furniture pieces.

- Clean lined design
- Function before form.
