Add Tech

If you’re after a modern living space, then having some of the latest gadgets in your living space is a great idea. Think about something like a Google Home or Amazon Alexa, for instance. These can be activated by your voice and can even work as speakers and change the lights! They can look modern and pretty stylish on a coffee table or by a lamp, so why not add some tech? You could have some tech installed too, like surround sound speakers to connect with your television. Just look for a local home audio video installer if you’re not sure how to do it yourself, and then you can go from there. It will give your home a modern and funky edge if you’re up to date with the latest tech.

Create a Focal Point

If you create a focal point in the room, it can make a big difference to how it all looks. As soon as you enter the room there is something that your eyes will be drawn to, which can be a really good thing. If it is a modern fireplace or log burner, or even a statement piece of furniture, it will give the room a modern edge.

Use Color Wisely

The color in a home can instantly age a home if it is not done well. Which is why using color to your advantage, and using it wisely, is really key. Too much color, especially dark and faded color can immediately age a room. Instead, opt for lighter colors that are complimented with accent colors through throws, rugs, or furniture. A modern look is to have a statement or feature wall that is a different color from the rest. This can be part of the focal point that you’re creating, especially if it is the side of the room where something like a fireplace will be.

Use Glass

The materials that are in a room can age a room too. Too much fabric, especially soft leather or chenille can instantly date a room and make it quite a drab style. So think about using lighter and more reflective materials like glass. They can look modern as coffee table tops, as well as for doorways (take bi-fold doors rather than traditional doors, for example). It can make the room look brighter and more airy too, which is always a good thing when it comes to a modern room.
