When most people think of interior design they think of modern interiors. Many times this is the case as most people who can afford a designer are lovers of modern furniture and the modern style. I use to be crazy over modern furniture. I thought that would be the only things I would ever have in my home. Now I have decided that I need two homes so I can have one as a modern home and one as a more classic home.

If you love modern furniture, but don’t have any, there are many ways to incorporate it into your home. You may want to start with the living room, add a more modern sofa or love seat and see how it works for you. You can mix the styles pretty easily and still have a great look. The best advice I have for doing this is to keep one of the types more dominate then the other. Use furniture in one style and accents in the other.

Lets say you decide to change your bedroom into a more modern style. You could buy a modern platform bed and maybe have more classic nightstands or a mirror. You could also have a more classic dresser and modern lamps on that dresser. There really are some great ways to make modern work for you, you just have to find the balance you like.

I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
