If you like the clean lines that accompany modern décor, these interior design ideas will help you achieve the look you love. Decorating in a modern style is all about straight defined lines, no clutter and refined simplicity. Nary and floral pillow or Victorian print should be found in a modernly decorated house. Many people think of cold when they hear modern design, however, that declaration is a bit misrepresented. True, there will not be overstuffed couches around, but there will still be warmth, just in more of a structured way.Bold colors such as black, red and white define modern design. A sleekly lined black leather couch accompanied by an odd shaped (albeit comfortable) chair can be put inside a room decorated with a modern flair. Coffee tables and end tables are often made with bent chrome and glass. A brightly colored wall in a red or bright orange along with a large monochromatic art piece on the wall can bring a modern room to life. If you arent afraid of a little color, throw one or two brightly colored pillows onto your couch or a bright rug in a simple pattern onto the floor.Minimalism is key, although some accessories are fine, just keep in mind that they should be clean, refined and dramatic. A single silver vase in the middle of a round glass table filled with flowers is a dramatic statement while still staying simple. Structured flowers such as calla lilies, apple blossoms or willow branches can give off a dramatic look and add life and drama to a room. To add a bit of warmth, add some black and white photos to glass or silver frames. Keeping pictures in the same color scheme can keep your room from looking too busy. Adding an interesting art or travel book to your coffee table is also a way to minimally decorate.Renowned artist Andy Warhol was the epitome of modern design. His bold bright works of art are total conversation pieces and can strike up debates or admiration with anyone visiting your home. Obviously, one must be a millionaire to purchase an original print from the late artist, but buying a replica, or an original piece from an artist inspired by Andy Warhols paintings can help you to create an incredible modern ambience to your home and stay within a reasonable budget.Decorating in a modern way usually means that you should steer clear of textural elements and patterns; however, if you feel that your room is lacking that punch of color, add a chair with a bright modern print in perhaps a geometric pattern or a solid bright piece. Perhaps adding a lamp with a colorful base or a vase in a bold print will give you just enough color. Modern interior design ideas are all around you.
