How to furnish a modern interior? fresh and functional

A modern interior does not have to be austere and minimalist. It can also charm with a multitude of colours and cohesive accessories. The most important thing is to think carefully about every element of such an arrangement. We suggest solutions that will work perfectly in modern interiors of houses and flats.

We like to move with the times. When it comes to furnishing our homes and apartments, we like to take advantage of the latest technological advances as well as current trends and innovations. Not surprisingly, we tend towards practical furniture and versatile walls and floors that keep pace with our changing needs.

Harmonious arrangements in muted colours also give us a break from the stimuli attacking us from all sides. In a modern interior, there are few objects, each with a clearly defined place and purpose. Nothing distracts us and tidying up takes little time. These are rooms you simply want to be in.

HOW TO BRING MODERNITY INTO YOUR INTERIOR?

Expressive, clear and well thought-out - this is what modern design is all about. The contemporary character of an interior is the result of many factors. When deciding on them, maximum functionality should be our first consideration. It is therefore advisable to opt for simple furniture and uniform wall and floor colours. It would be good if the materials used were of high quality, as these will attract the most attention. All decorations and accessories are usually placed in the background to avoid overloading the space with unnecessary elements.

However, modernity does not have to mean a lack of personalisation or personal touches. A simple, consistent background allows an original painting or a piece of fancy furniture to stand out. Below, we advise on how to furnish a modern interior with taste in 5 ways.

1. MODERNITY, OR OPENNESS

A contemporary flair can dominate the entire home or flat. As modern interiors love open space, it will be a good idea to combine rooms with different uses. Kitchen with dining room, bedroom with bathroom, hallway with living room... The best guideline for such a division is individual needs.

You don't have to do without doors between the rooms to maintain cohesion. An interesting effect can be achieved by choosing uniform wall and floor finishes throughout the house. Such a theme will not only give our four corners of the house a modern look, but also optically enlarge the space. Therefore, it is also worth considering this solution if you do not have a lot of space. Thanks to advanced technologies, we can harmonise the design of the entire house. Rigio hard-core flooring will prove its worth even in particularly demanding spaces, such as the kitchen or bathroom.

Our walls can also attract attention. Both innovative textures and natural raw materials will work well in a modern room. Precious wood, raw concrete, elegant marble - any of these materials will add a touch of class to the interior. And we don't have to spend a fortune to incorporate them into our four walls. A great substitute will be high-quality imitations, which are additionally more practical and easier to maintain. We can create a wooden backdrop to our everyday life with tasteful slats of the chosen width and favourite shade. A similar function will be provided by Idevo decorative panels, charming with their references to wood, marble or stone. Thanks to such solutions, we will not only increase the aesthetic value of the walls, but also ensure their resistance to moisture, impacts or scratches, while at the same time quieting the room.

2. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE

Practically furnished spaces, full of simple forms and carefully chosen accessories, are particularly appreciated by those who like order. Multifunctional furniture helps to keep things in order, while muted shades allow the eyes to rest. In contrast to eclectic arrangements combining various shapes and colours, modern interiors are easier to maintain harmony. Everything has its predetermined place.

When choosing furniture for a contemporary interior, it is advisable to opt for pieces without decorative finishes. The perfect solution is to use structures with high legs, which give the impression of floating in the air. They will add lightness to the entire arrangement and make it easier to clean the room.

Such a solution fits, among other things, into a modern living room. Any objects worth displaying can be placed on a high Creative bookcase with metal legs. A coherent effect can be achieved by placing a simple coffee table next to it, made of the same materials. Similar colours and smooth textures can be repeated in details such as the Haga chest of drawers lamp or the frame of the monochromatic Web graphic. A soft, legless sofa made up of Chill modules will then provide an original accent.

3. COLOUR DISCIPLINE

We tend to associate modern living arrangements with safe, always fashionable black and white and shades of grey. Sometimes these are broken up with various shades of wood or brown or beige. However, there is nothing to prevent the introduction of an intense, eye-catching colour into a contemporary room that we particularly like. Bottle green, mustard yellow or deep navy blue bring with them a unique energy, making the interior more our own. To ensure that utility still plays first fiddle, we can opt for a Volt arm chair in your favourite shade. Its carefully designed armrests and backrest will provide us with maximum comfort while reading a book or watching TV. In this way, aesthetics will go hand in hand with practicality.

Metallic accents will also help to add variety to a modern setting. Gold, silver or copper details introduce class and sophistication. It is best to use them subtly, in the form of small decorations or furniture handles and legs. This avoids the risk of overpowering the interior. A metallic Moon chest of drawers or a tall Gal basket, for example, can be an interesting but practical accent.

4. GEOMETRIC MOTIF

Modern design loves harmony and symmetry. Perhaps this is why the geometric trend has been so popular in recent years. We can easily introduce it, for example, with the hexagon-shaped Sense container set, the proportional Spin pendant lamp or the Formi cushion with a minimalist pattern.

5. A CONTROLLED BREATH OF NATURE

The omnipresence of green tenants is also a particularly hot trend. Plant pots will not only work well in a cosy room full of various decorations and sentimental objects. They also complement modern, well-balanced decor. Choose trendy species such as monstera, strelitzia or coral palm. These can be introduced into the interior not only in the form of live plants, but also in a variety of prints: from the Botanik I cushion pattern to the minimalist Campo II wall painting.

MODERN INTERIORS - MINIMUM FORM, MAXIMUM FUNCTION

When arranging the modern interiors of a house or flat, it is important to limit the number of solids and accessories. Fortunately, thanks to clever solutions, we do not have to give up any functions.

Forgetting about an extra cabinet or chest of drawers in the dining room will be helped by the two-coloured 4 You table or the oak Nature table. The drawers will hold all the small items we like to have close at hand, but not necessarily in view. The practical niche in the middle of the table top will be useful for both meals and working on the laptop.

A functional 4 You bed with a canopy and built-in bookcase will look great in a modern bedroom. Such a piece of furniture does not need many supporting characters. The heart of our living room, on the other hand, may be formed by unique sofa beds, constructed from Modus or Pelo modules. We will decide ourselves exactly what kind of sofa or corner sofa we will create with them, or perhaps we will limit ourselves to a comfortable pouffe or ottoman.

PERSONALISATION WILL INCREASE EXPRESSIVENESS

For those attached to self-expression, modern interiors may be associated with coldness and anonymity. However, minimalism does not have to exclude personalisation. We can base a functional arrangement of the space on furniture, designed in the Creative system. Thanks to the extensive library of materials, we have hundreds of combinations to choose from. For example, a capacious 3-door wardrobe can be given a gold finish, while a simple bed can be given a headrest in the colour of your dreams. If we use similar combinations throughout the home, we achieve a consistent, eye-catching theme. However, this avoids unwanted excess.

The best way to furnish the four corners of your dream home is to start by analysing your needs and habits. If it turns out that we particularly value functionality and harmony, a modern design may help us. In this case, it is worth opting for innovative, multi-functional furniture and limiting the number of objects on display. However, don't be afraid to reach for clever decorations and original finishes, which will perfectly complement the frugal design.
