The modern style is one of the most popular and the most up-to-date styles in the design of internal interiors. However, the modern style also reflects one of the most complex styles. In the opinion of many well-known designers, it is very difficult to harmoniously combine coziness, comfort and beauty of an interior with deliberately utilitarian aspects of style.
Rather frequently, the modern style is associated with the cubism. Both styles are based on the maximum rationalism which should be combined with aesthetics that are both harmonious and organic. The aesthetic aspect is one of distinctive characteristics of modern style. It is pretty difficult to harmoniously combine comfort and rationalism in an interior, however the modern style is considered to be one of the most popular, convenient and bright styles.
The original combination of technological and utilitarian aspects gives special elegance to an interior. In an interior, executed in the modern style, each subject takes its own place and each thing has its own function. One of the basic requirements of modern style is big free space which is executed in monophonic color scale. Most frequently the cold color scale is used for an interior in modern style. However, white color is the most popular for design of an interior in modern style. It gives an interior a kind of severity and asceticism.
However, for design of inhabited interiors in the modernist style many designers recommend to use bright color spots. Bright color spots diversify constrained color scale of an interior. For example, making out the bedroom in modern style it is recommended to use white or light grey colors for walls, ceiling and floor. However, in order to make the room look not monotonous and uncomfortable, many designers recommend hanging up red curtains for windows, to cover a bed with a red coverlet and to hang up a picture in red color scale on the wall.
Chrome-plated furniture, furniture with glass surface, smooth screens wall-mounted panels and carpets without an ornament and decorative elements are quite often used for design of an interior in modern style. The essence of modern style consists of simplicity and comfort of an interior. The modern style evokes plain white walls with no moldings and plenty of open space.
However, modern designers -- when tasked with the design of an interior -- rather frequently combine modern style with other styles. The combination in an interior of modern style with classicism and romanticism that is very effective. However, in this case it is difficult enough to observe balance between styles.
In general, the modern style is organically combined with style of the art - nouveau, techno-art style, cubism, minimalism and gothic style. The combination of these styles is very frequently used at design of boutique, office and exhibition premise. Restraint and severity of an interior creates special conditions in the premise. Absence of numerous decorative details does not distract attention and allows concentrating. For this reason the modern style is considered one of the most preferable styles for design of working interiors.
