Decorate A Modern Room

In modern decor, neutral shades dominate the room enhanced by accessories that provide a pop of color.


The modern style of decorating appeals to those seeking a fresh, crisp feel in their rooms.Modern decorating lends itself well in any room of the house from the bathroom to the bedroom or kitchen. Create a decluttered, contemporary room by choosing an understated color palette and incorporating minimalist decorating trends into your desired space. Transform your room into a cutting-edge space by purshasing high-style pieces for your room that focus on function and form.


Instructions


1. Draft a budget for your modern space. Choose high-end furniture and fabrics, which will wear well over time. Invest in furnishings and lighting first and focus on accessories and window treatments later.








2. Choose your main color palette for your modern room. Create high contrast with a black and bright white color scheme in a bathroom or kitchen. Add a third color to personalize your modern space. Icy blue glass tile decorating the back-splash works well in a black and white kitchen. Choose a gray color palette with beige walls for a modern living room or dining room. Dominate your room in subdued shades of gray with your furniture and window treatments, adding your personal touch with a pop of violet or lemon yellow.


3. Purchase solid, angular furniture for your modern space. Choose black, gray or beige depending on your color palette. Position a glass-top coffee table or end tables next to the dark furniture for an urban, contemporary feel.


4. Accessorize your room with pops of color. Contrast a contemporary, neutral color palette with a brightly colored piece of art on the walls or an eye-catching floor rug. Paint one wall of a black and white kitchen fire-engine red or simply add red hardware to white cabinet doors.


5. Purchase stainless steel appliances for your modern kitchen or a stainless steel sink for your bathroom. Choose geometric, steel hardware and faucets for your bathroom and kitchen. Place shiny, metallic accents, such as lamps, clocks and picture frames, in your modern bedroom or living room.
