For some, the fun of owning a home is the ability to make changes to your home décor. Adding modern elements to your home can create artfully designed living spaces giving a whole new look to your space.
Here are five ways you can add a modern accents to any room in your home:
- Hyperrealism Art – Paintings and photographs have always been a popular way to add a centerpiece to a room. A new trend from the most creative minds, Hyperrealism combines technology and traditional techniques to mimic photography. Like any type of art, it aims to evoke emotions rather than just recreating a scene like a photograph. This style of art comes in many colors and themes, and can help add a dramatic focus to your room.
- Accent Furniture – Furniture has always been as much about style as it is function (and in some cases, maybe even more so about style), but it’s reached new heights. Accent furniture seeks to be the centerpiece of a room, be it a table or chair, adding depth through the use of color, unique shape, or texture. In the same way there are complimentary colors that stand out, you’ll want to find a piece that breaks with the overall style of your room and dares to be different. You can also use furniture covers such as tablecloths to help enhance the appeal of a piece you already have.
- Modern Art Decor – Pillows and vases are an easy way to update the look of a room. Mix individual pieces with small detail changes that can help add color, materials, and textures to the space. Consider exchanging furniture hardware, or mixing-and-matching pillows.
- Curves – Not long ago, sleek & strong lines were common in many styles. Now they are being superseded by more flowing, gentle curves. Why? There are many reasons, but primarily, curves help draw the human eye and can add visual flow to a space. Round mirrors can help add that contemporary touch of softness, while also allowing for a visual expansion of the area by reflecting light and brightening the room.
- Extra-Large Lighting – Good lighting is easier to find today than ever before, thanks to bulb technology and even smart-device integration through your smartphone, to help control brightness regardless of the fixtures you’re using. A popular trend has been oversized paper lanterns, coming in a variety of colorful designs to meet any style. They can make for a quick way to shine a light on your other modern additions to your living room.
Refreshing your home with new modern design elements can totally transform a space. From color schemes to art to furniture, there are several small changes that can be made to garner big impact.
