What is the Modern Design Style
Inspired by the architecture of the 1920s and taking its cue from that era’s Bauhaus movement, modern design style maximizes straight lines and minimize decoration for an uncomplicated look that balances material, volume, and shape.
Often also referred to as Mid-Century Modernism because the style gained momentum in the 1950s, modern design follows the motto “form follows function,” where a shape primarily relates to its intended purpose.
Clean and simplified, this design style is characterized by the reserved use of decorative elements with a preference for practical items. Space is distributed using the layout of furniture instead of built walls, and the natural light accentuates this style’s distinct calm beauty.
