6 Reasons to Love Modern Interior Design

Today’s modern interior design style is based on a design movement known as modernism, this movement that inspired contemporary modern design, began in the early 1900s, it was highly inspired by the architecture of the time, which was comprised of structural and geometric design elements. Modernism’s focus was on simplicity, functionality, as well as natural elements. Modern style interior design places an emphasis on natural materials, a neutral or earthy color palette, alongside the elimination of unnecessary detailing. This philosophy behind the modern interior design style makes it the perfect decorating choice for those who like uncluttered spaces with clean lines and a lack of fussy adornments, reflecting simplicity as well as bringing more light and space into the home.

In today’s blog, we look at six major reasons to incorporate modern interior design into your home!

6. A Cozy Color Palette

A neutral color palette can benefit you in various ways, functioning as the canvas of color that gives you the freedom to experiment with layered textiles or giving your interior a more cozy and calming look. Take a step into this cushy master bedroom interior design that expertly combines a variety of nature-inspired textures. Whether its the comfy looking floor to ceiling headboard, or the marble wall, or even the boutique hotel inspired lighting fixtures, all these elements easily come together with a cohesive neutral color palette.

5. Open Spaces

A modern styled open floor plan that combines the living room and dining room results in a wider and spacious look. Subtle additions such as the rug and bespoke marble TV wall create a virtual boundary between the living room and dining room without sacrificing space.

4. Easy Maintenance

Modern interior design is often comprised of clean lines and details, which are much easier to clean and maintain in comparison to complex design styles. One such example is this incredibly sleek bathroom interior that features a custom built double vanity with specialized compartments in the middle for towels, as well as a space efficient built-in shower niche.

3. Modern Kitchens

Modern kitchens feature lots of storage for cookware and tableware, custom fitted spaces for state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, and some, such as dry kitchens function as a dining space as well. When it comes to modern kitchen designs, the kitchen becomes a part of daily life, and the heart of the home. Gorgeous, subtle details such as the marble kitchen island, avant-garde pendant lights and cubist feature wall add a touch of style and glamor to the kitchen interior shown here.

2. Natural Lighting

Take a look at this stylish and brilliantly lit home gym and outdoor lounge combination, featuring glass doors, glass balustrades and large smoked wall mirrors that reflect natural light all around the interior.
