Modern Interior Design Ideas | Sleek Minimalist Decor & Inspiration
Modern interior design is the ultimate celebration of logic and simplicity. Rooted in the Bauhaus and Scandinavian movements, it focuses on creating spaces that feel open and highly functional. By removing unnecessary "clutter," the architectural integrity of the home is allowed to shine through.
To master the modern aesthetic, focus on a neutral base punctuated by high-contrast black accents. Use industrial materials such as brushed steel or glass to give the space a sophisticated edge. The result is a home that feels calm, organized, and timelessly stylish.
