Guest post- Simplicity is key in modern decor!
This article is brought to you by Sam Peters.
Home decorating ideas are abundant. You can find them online, in magazines
and just about everywhere. But before buying new furniture or even before you
start rearranging what you already have, you want to take the time to think
about the look you want. The current trend is toward the uncluttered, clean,
streamlined modern. But then again, just about any décor style needs
to be uncluttered and streamlined, showing off those great open spaces,
beautiful fixtures and even those high ceilings.
The Importance Of Color
When you are going for that clean, uncluttered look you want the furniture
to flow with the rest of the décor; you want the furniture to work seamlessly
with the carpeting, hardwood or stone floors and the other areas of the home.
To get this look, stick to neutral colors like browns, creams or taupes. If
this seems a little too dull for your taste add texture to your neutrals. You
can also add a splash
of color with by adding throw pillows in an accented color.
Go For Sleek
Whatever your design style, sleek is in, but by sleek we mean well finished
and elegant. This could be furniture made of natural woods, or eco-friendly
products. Accent areas with lacquered cabinets or a TV drop down cabinet. If
you are going for the uncluttered look then the last thing you want to do is
keep the TV out in plain view. Another option is to use a Nexus 21 drop
down ceiling TV lift to keep your TV set. Besides, having a ceiling drop down
lift will add that modern sleek look to your living room.
Floor Design and Décor
If possible you want to add hardwood floors or eco-friendly flooring material like bamboo. Use neutrally toned area rugs to tie in
the furniture and draw attention to the beautiful sleek floors.
Glass and Light Fixtures
In this type of style you want to emphasize areas with hidden light. Rooms should allow for natural lighting and use very minimalist window dressings.
Remember the point here is to show off the beauty of urbanity or the beautiful
outdoor scenery.
Keep It Simple
Use leathers and beautiful suede. You can also use expensive upholstery.
Just remember to keep colors and styles classic and simple. Do not overdo it, or
you will clutter the room with furniture again. Just use the essential seating
areas you need. Remember, going for that uncluttered look involves your only
using the basics, and keeping the electronics, the clutter and the stuff from
distracting the viewer from the beauty of the room and of the outdoor views.
