You finally have the home of your dreams – a unique, modernist masterpiece that’s all yours! How do you build on the impression that guests first get from the outside and pull it into the inside of your new home?  Here are a few tips to help you make the most of the design of your amazing home.

Sleek, clean lines – Less is more. Keep your design elements relatively unfussy. Keep things simple and uncluttered. Don’t crowd pieces together when placing them in the room.

Open spaces – Modernist design incorporates lots of light so keep that in mind when you choose decorating elements. Use colors and fabrics that blend together and work with the room layout to create an open feel.

Neutral colors – Choose a streamlined palate of colors that blend together to form a background for the other elements of the home. Add a splash of color for character.

Geometric shapes - Modernist homes love everything that is linear so use geometric elements inside your home too.

As with any design philosophy, rules are made to be broken. So be sure to throw in some rule breakers to personalize your interior design. Fill a room with furniture with clean lines and add a piece that has curves and waves. Choose a neutral color palate and then paint one wall a bold contrasting color. Personalization is the best design element of them all so have fun making design choices to express who you are!
