There are all kinds of styles you can go for when you decide to makeover your home. Many people are going for a vintage, sort of retro look in the home these days. However, the modern look can still be a great one to go for if you do it right. Making your home look more modern can give it a really cool vibe and these tips will help you:
Use Geometric Patterns + Bold Colors
Geometric patterns and bold colors can both look really good when you’re trying to create a modern look for your home. Using patterns like stripes and zigzags can create a really cool finish in any room. You can include them by using patterned wallpaper, or even cushions. If you feel confident, you could even mix patterns too. Mixing patterns isn’t too difficult, but there are tutorials online to help you. When using bold colours, it’s up to you if you want to cover a room or just use accessories. Using a color wheel will help you to choose colors that compliment one another perfectly.
Try All White
If colors and patterns aren’t your thing, you can’t go wrong with an all white space. White will make your space seem bigger visually, even in a tiny room. You can also use other shades of neutral colors, as these are always easy to accessorize.
Go for Custom Furniture
Why not go for custom furniture if you want a cool, modern space? This way, you can create whatever kind of look you like. Brands like Armadi Casa have plenty of options. Furniture that is brightly colored or a slightly different shape to things you’ve seen will work well in a modern home.
Use Metallic Accents
Metallic accents add texture to a modern home. And, they can also help to open up the space visually, much like a mirror. Not forgetting the element of luxury that they can add too.
Keep Things Fairly Simple
You don’t want things to get too complicated in your home, especially when you want to keep things looking cool and modern. Keep your decor as simple as you can. Don’t clutter up your space too much visually. Make sure everything you use serves a purpose.
Invest in Good Lighting
Good lighting will always make your home better. You need both task lighting and mood lighting for different occasions. Investing in good lighting options will do your home all kinds of favors!
Go for Hardwood Floors
Hardwood floors are way more modern and cool looking than carpet. Carpet may insulate the house more, but it’s quite old fashioned. You can buy wooden floors in all kinds of finishes, from dark oak to light beech. You can even get materials that look like hardwood if you can’t afford the real deal.
