Modern home designs are all about maintaining a minimalist approach, having a few yet impactful statement pieces, choosing the right color palettes, and replacing outdated appliances and gadgets with sophisticated alternatives. Putting everything together sets the tone and sparks up a pleasant ambiance indoors, providing you with the ultimate modern look.
In this guide, we take you through the essential steps you can take for a jaw-dropping home interior transformation.
Minimalistic Approach
Start by making the indoors clutter-free. Remove the excess clutter while only placing furniture and decor that resonates with each other. Instead of filling your living room shelves with decor or your book collection, place a few statement pieces that elevate the aesthetics of the place and can blend in with the color scheme.
If you have the budget, consider replacing worn-out appliances with the latest models that will take up less storage space and work efficiently than the earlier models. Let’s say you have a kitchen grinder, blender, and a juicer which do the job but take up a lot of space. Replacing these three appliances with a high-energy star rating food processor will not only take less space but is also a cost-effective option. You can also gather the appliances that you no longer use and donate them to provide a clutter-free outlook.
Open Living Plan
One of the most impactful interior design ideas is to create an open living space. This design idea makes the area feel spacious and gives it a contemporary look. Different zones or spaces can be created in the living space using subtle separations. As the area will be an open living space, you don’t want wires and drainage pipes of the bar or kitchen to be visible. Using a custom skirting board not only hides the visible wires and pipes but also blends in perfectly with the interior. There are a variety of these boards available to pick from and can even be customized according to the requirements.
Smart Lighting
Installing smart lighting gives the interior a modern outlook. It’s an affordable idea based on home automation. You can easily change and use voice commands to control the light intensity, change the hues according to the way you feel, and set a schedule for turning the lights on and off automatically. With so many smart lighting options to choose from, you won’t have to worry about not finding one according to your requirements.
Changing the Flooring
If your home has carpets installed, consider removing them as carpets require a lot of time for cleaning and maintenance. Rather than cleaning the carpets, look for modern options like floorboards or a marble floor. These modern alternatives to carpets are far easier to maintain. Whether you opt for floorboards, tiles, or marble, each material is sturdy enough to stand the test of time.
Open Shelving
If you have an empty wall and want to utilize the space for storage, go for open shelving. You can add open shelves on one side of the wall while on the other side, display a collage of memorable pictures or abstract art. A stylish lamp and a side table can also be placed at one corner of the wall to provide a striking outlook.
Besides working on the design, consider adding smart devices and gadgets based on home automation. You can consider buying smart home controls that integrate almost every process and provide you with all controls in one place. By keeping in mind the golden words, less is more, modernizing your home becomes easier and hassle-free.
