Modern interior design – bold colors all the time

The red thread of modern interior design is gorgeous contrasting colors and clear lines. The style, which draws inspiration from the 1960s, delights with its retro-inspired shapes and warm, deep tones. Modern style is an uncomplicated combination of simple colors, striking textiles and reflective surfaces, such as furniture and details made of steel, glass and chrome.

Warm and bold tones of modern furniture

Modern interior design furniture is all about bold color combinations. The color palette of modernly decorated rooms consists of just a few colors - either neutral or colorful shades. This makes it easy to combine simple shapes, clear lines, exposed structures such as brick walls, and larger-than-usual interior items. Since only three to four colors are used in the interior design, the shapes of the furniture and objects come into their own.

In modern rooms decorated with bold contrasting colors, interior items also have a big impact on the final result. A stylish, balanced and impressive result is created by combining, for example, colorfully patterned pillows, transparent smoked glass vases and fluted glass.
