The right accent
When a living room maintains a clean, simple elegance, it easily draws attention. Notice the pink vase and serving set, which are focal points against the backdrop of Shallow Valley painted walls.
Modern Style
Modern design keeps it simple, avoiding ornate decoration and expressing the modern spirit through clean lines, geometric shapes, the latest technology and materials such as metal and glass.
Modern Paint Palettes
Whites, off-white and neutral paints are the rule for modern walls. Use colors for trim and accents. Consider every element in the room before you settle on a palette. Furniture, rugs, picture frames, tile—it should all be complementary, part of a harmonious contemporary design system.
Modern Decorating Details
When you're planning a modern interior, consider the interplay of materials. Place a leather armchair beside that glass coffee table. Balance neutral wall paint with fabric-colorful upholstery, rugs, or wall hangings with bright geometric shapes.
