so modern decor is not to be confused
with contemporary decor the difference
is is modern is a sleek design that is
more historical so you'll see it in
mid-century modern you'll see it in
early American sometimes in some of the
simple lines contemporary decor is just
what is contemporary now what people are
doing right now which you'll see a lot
of transitional and eclectic
so that's completely different when
you're doing modern decor though you
want to pay attention to the lines of a
piece make sure they're simple and
they're elegant even the woodwork that
you find in the home you don't have any
fluting or a lot of ridges you have to
remember that less is more
so it's always about not only the space
that you fill but it's also about the
space that you don't fill you want to
leave space for you to breathe for you
to look at so every wall doesn't have to
be completely covered like you would
have a little bit more in the
traditional design you have wall space
that is a little bit more empty if you
had maybe six pieces of artwork you
would want to make sure that they're all
symmetrical and they match or you have
one really large grand piece the
furniture lines are simple and also
another thing to keep in mind is that in
the more modern styling you get a lot of
low-rise furniture so a lot of the sofas
and the lounge chairs are lower than you
would in the standard furniture elements
simple lines simple colors graphics are
bolder so instead of maybe a rug that
has a ton of different colors here and
there they may have a few bold colors or
simple lines with splashes here and
there so when you go modern you want to
make sure that less is more you want to
make sure that your lines are clean and
simple and that it's really about bold
and focused and less about scattered and
little
