Whole-Home Interior Design: Modern Style

The modern interior design style reflects the style prevalent through the mid- to early-20th century. It embraces a monochromatic color scheme, natural fibers, and clean lines and is very influential in today's trends. At Blind Corners in Roseville, California, you'll find modern window treatments, including blinds and shades, that can complete your home's interior design.

Core Components of Modern Style Design

Modern design emphasizes a clean, calm, and neutral environment free of clutter. It is a direct response to maximalism, Art Deco, and the Victorian era. You'll find sleek furniture with straight lines over patterns or complicated designs and natural fibers. You'll also find lots of glass and metal elements.

Modern interior design also favors natural light and open floor plans. The style has heavily influenced minimalism, mid-century modern, farmhouse, and industrial styles, so you'll see some overlap.

Modern Design in the Living Room

In your living room, you can incorporate modern style by using an area rug to center your furniture around and clean, neutral colors. Consider painting walls in beige, gray, or white. Select sleek, straight-lined, neutral-colored furniture that's low to the ground. For décor, since the purpose is clean and minimalist, forgo knick-knacks in favor of art.

Consider modern blinds for the living room so you can use natural light to its best advantage. Parkland® Wood Blinds, faux wood blinds, and metal blinds are all wonderful choices. They can subtly complement your design and easily control light. Designer Banded Shades are another modern window treatment option for living rooms.

Modern Design in the Kitchen

In your kitchen, choose a monochromatic color scheme that uses white or neutral walls and similar shade cabinets. Consider flat-panel cabinet doors without handles. Storage is essential so you can keep the counters uncluttered. Your counters should also be straight and clean with wood, marble, or metal on top. For a backsplash, consider clean lines in glass or metal.

For modern window treatments in the kitchen, consider Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds, which are durable, moisture resistant, and employ a metallic sheen. You could also consider Everwood® Faux Wood Blinds. These will allow for plenty of light and add texture and visual interest while holding up to the heat and moisture in the kitchen.

Modern Design Style in the Bedrooms

In the bedrooms, focus on a calming, neutral color palette and natural fibers. Wood flooring with a comfortable area rug is a wonderful choice. For furniture, select high-quality wood pieces that are sleek and uncluttered.

On your windows, consider modern Roman shades or cellular shades. These options provide sound absorption and energy efficiency, with the Duette® Cellular Shade offering a little more. You can also select room-darkening fabrics for a good night's sleep or a dual shade to maximize light control. Tailored to fit your window, both use clean, straight lines, and have a structured, elegant appearance.
