Modern Interior Design Guide For Modern Furniture Design
One of the most popular styles in present interior design is modern. You won’t find disorder and heavy detailing in modern furniture design – you’ll come across straight lines, organization, and few furnishings. There are no flashy knickknacks or intricate, curved details in a modern room: its motto is “less is more”.
It’s an idea design choice for minimalists out there who want to do little dusting or cleaning, who can live with as few items as possible.
Modern interior living spaces normally feature straight, unadorned furniture in darker wood tones, like espresso, or basic black. Dark colours give modern rooms a chic and sophisticated flair. In general, there are rare amounts of decorative items on tabletops. There are usually a few certain pieces that are on display in a room.
Modern Furniture Design style is all about spending money on a select number of distinctive, original items rather than purchasing a whole collection of small odds and ends.
Black, white, red, silver, and chrome are popular modern colour choices. They create an attractive, yet classic setting to the unique objects that decorate the room. In addition, they highlight the straight lines of the furnishings.
In a living room modern design, there are no sofas or chairs covered in throw blankets, or random ottomans taking up floor space. The focus tends to be on a couple pieces of furniture with maybe one or two decorative pillows, and matching coffee/end tables.
Sleek, bold, and tasteful – those are the best adjectives to describe the look of modern interior design. If this sounds like the style you’re after in your home, just look through the following guide to furnishing your potential modern living space.
Living Room Modern Furniture Design
Don’t be afraid to go bold with your sofa choice, since it will be the main focus of your living room.
Sofas like the Alphaville Hoffman Kubus Sofa
or the Avenue Six Yield 72 Inch Love Seat Sofa are sure to be a strong focal point. You can also go with a sofa set to fully balance out your living space.
Try the Global Furniture USA Edwards Red 3-Piece Leather Living Room Set
or the Alphaville Noguchi-Style Free Form Sofa and Ottoman to really make a statement.
Opt for a matching coffee table and end table set, since mismatched items in a modern home simply don’t work. Take a look at the Lifestyle Solutions Barbados Coffee Table and End Table Set in Cappuccino,
or the Avenue Six Yield Black Glass Top Coffee Table Set.
or the Stanley Furniture American Modern Distressed Merlot Octagonal Coffee and End Table Set
or this Slate Top Rectangular Coffee Table echos modern with a unique twist
Brighten up your modern living room with a floor lamp. A lamp with a shiny chrome base will catch attention, but still leave the sofa as the main attraction. Look for as little detailing as possible, like the Kenroy Home Emilio Chrome Floor Lamp with White Linen Shade.
Dining Room Modern Furniture Design
A modern dining room is the perfect place to see the “straight line” concept on display. Tables and chairs have very little to no curvature, and feature dark wood or glass construction. A great example is the Japanese-inspired Sitcom Hida Collection Dining Table Set,
or the glass-topped Global Furniture USA Roberta Leather Accent Dining Set.
A modern take on the dining room china cabinet is the Modloft Amsterdam Modern Display Cabinet, with its glass doors and chrome finishing.
To give more storage to your dining room without taking up space, try the Modloft Bleeker Urban Modern Buffet Cabinet.
Keep the décor simple in your dining room with basic vases, like the Zodax West of Tangiers Portico Hexagonal Glass Short Hurricane/Vase.
Family Room Modern Furniture Design
You may not think that modern style suits a family room, since those rooms are normally a bit more “rounded” and “chaotic”, but there are always options out there for a modern family room.
Try a sofa set in a more neutral, comfortable colour, like the Global Furniture USA 682 Series Sofa and Loveseat Set in Cappucino Leather.
To make things a little safer for the kids, a coffee table/end table set can feature a small bit of curves and still have a modern style, such as the Stanley Furniture Beau Nouveau Espresso Cocktail Table Set.
Give the room some extra comfort with decorative pillows. You have the opportunity to add a pop of colour, like candy apple red, with a throw pillow. Mystic Valley Traders Cafe Cherry Boudoir Pillow

A kitchen isn’t complete without a clock. There are lots of outdated-looking clocks out there, but fortunately, modern clocks keep popping up.
Try the Kieninger Quarzline Beech Wall Clock with the wooden face,
or the Nextime Work Time Hands Wall Clock with no face at all – very simplistic!

Nothing says modern-day living like a platform bed. These beds are super-low to the ground, with no box spring attached. Look for platform bed sets, since all the pieces already match each other. A great example is the Modloft Worth Platform Bed 3 Piece Bedroom Set,
or if you’re looking for something a little higher off the ground, try the Modus Nevis Espresso Bed 2 Piece Bedroom Set.
Dressers without handles give off a minimalist vibe, which is ideal for modern bedrooms. Modloft Ludlow Dresser in Wenge

The bathroom is another great place to show off the clean modern style. Vessel sinks are a fresh, updated take on classic sinks, so try something like the DreamLine Geometric Square Vessel Sink in Clear
or the DreamLine Black Glass Vessel Sink for your bathroom.
When it comes to matching a faucet with a vessel sink, all you need to consider is height. Is the faucet you have in mind high enough to flow into the sink? The Avanity Tower Faucet
and the DreamLine Hi Rise Tub Faucet in Chrome have extensive height, while remaining modern with their chrome finish.
To keep your towels and toiletries in order, a glass-lined shelving space is simple enough to complete the look of your modern bathroom. Organize It All Contas Five Tier Shelf in Chrome
