Modern style is your

Modern
Life is busy. You’re busy. The simplicity of a modern palette is the perfect panacea to a hectic schedule featuring a clutter free, largely neutral décor. Modern is restrained, but bespoke when a bold splash of colour or dynamic forms are used. No need for loads of accessories or distracting patterns in your space.
Living Room Style Checklist
LAYOUT
An open plan layout lends itself nicely to the modern style. Ensure well calculated spacing between each zone to maintain an open and clutter-free feel
DECOR ACCENTS
Approach accessories and decor with a ‘less is more’ mindset. Go for large pieces of art over multiple small items
Remember smooth, clean lines when selecting artwork
FURNITURE
A low-lying sofa that’s a similar height to your dining table will create a smooth line of sight, working to the open plan, light and spacious feeling
Buy a sofa in natural fabrics such as linen or leather
Cabinetry should be sleek with clean lines to hide the clutter
Add a touch of reflective material with a statement, glass top coffee table
WINDOW TREATMENT
Unadorned windows are best for maximum natural light. If window treatments are required in your living room, opt for floor to ceiling curtains in natural, light fabric
LIGHTING
With natural light as a key characteristic of modern style, ensure your lighting is well articulated to compliment natural lighting whilst creating ambiance at night. Think recessed ceiling lighting to play on the straight line characteristics of the style and a feature floor and table lamp in steel, chrome, or glass.
Wet Area Style Checklist
BATHROOMS
Keep your space clutter free
Be brave and select a hero tile like a 3D tile on the wall or a geometric floor tile
Choose wall hung vanities and toilet to get a ‘clean’ look
Personalise your bathroom with a simple decor item or splash of greenery
MAIN FLOOR TILE
You can’t go wrong with really big ‘show stopper’ tiles
Use the same tile throughout, even through to the outdoors, to create a spacious feel
KITCHENS
Use only one or two colours for cabinetry and integrate appliances
Top with light polished surfaces
FINISHING TOUCHES
Choose sleek low lying furniture and consider some plastics and glass
Look for artwork that has similar tones to your overall colour scheme
Finish with a sleek pendant light or hidden LED lighting.
