The modern style<\/a> follows the philosophy of open floor concept with simple, uncluttered space and a neutral colour palette.<\/p>\n Simple, Uncluttered<\/strong> Bright, Natural Light<\/strong> Colour Spectrum<\/strong> If you love having the modern art movement on the interiors of your home, the modern design lets you turn your home into an artwork that you can enjoy day in, day out.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n Scandinavia refers to the three countries in Northern Europe: Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

The minimalist style<\/a> follows the guiding principle of \u201cLess is more\u201d, which involves using only the essentials to create a simple and uncluttered space.<\/p>\n Bare Essentials <\/strong> Monochrome<\/strong> Simple, Clean Lines<\/strong> If you love an uncluttered home that exudes simplicity and functionality, the minimalist design is your go-to style.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n Industrial-style homes<\/a> are modelled after industrial buildings where you get the rustic feel by displaying the building materials that are often hidden in most homes. The industrial design selectively adds a raw and unfinished look to the home to bring out the warehouse feel in the home.<\/p>\n Metal x Wood Combination<\/strong> Furniture With An Industrial Touch<\/strong> Basic Flooring<\/strong> Those who will fall in love with the industrial design are those who are looking for a special look for your home that will withstand the test of time.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n The Asian style<\/a> is one of the most versatile and all-encompassing design style.

What Are The Key Elements In Modern Design?<\/h3>\n
\nThe modern design is influenced by German and Scandinavian design where the aesthetic style is all about being simple and unadorned. It prioritises function over form as the belief is that form always follows function.<\/p>\n
\nModern design emphasises a lot on being bright and taking in natural light from outside to keep the room brightly lit. Thus, you will find lots of simple, plain wide windows that encourage natural light to keep the room bright.<\/p>\n
\nIn modern design, the wall acts as a background that doesn\u2019t jump out to steal the limelight from the rest of the home. Thus, modern design typically comes with neutral shades that doesn\u2019t become over-dominant.<\/p>\nWhom Is The Modern Design Suited For?<\/h3>\n

\nClean, simple lines, minimalistic and functionality. These are the elements that you will find in a Scandinavian home. You won\u2019t see any excess decorative element that will take simplicity out of the equation.<\/p>\n

\nThe minimalist approach is about keeping the decoration and ornamentation to the bare minimum. It keeps only the essential elements that are used in daily living.<\/p>\n
\nMonochromatic colour schemes are typical of the minimalist style where the space is filled with white, grey or beige colour palettes. Instead of adding a variety of colours, the minimalist style uses multiple shades of the same colour to create a contrast in the home.<\/p>\n
\nMinimalist design features furniture that has a strong focus on practicality and simple designs. Furnitures with flat, smooth surfaces and clean lines are used to create bold design statements without relying too much on the excessive\/highly detailed ornamentation.<\/p>\nWhom Is The Minimalist Design Suited For?<\/h3>\n

\nYou will often find furniture with an industrial touch in industrial-style homes. For example, you can find lighting fixtures with long hanging wires or those that are crafted from steel, copper or iron.<\/p>\n
\nTo give off the warehouse vibes, basic (sometimes even concrete) flooring is used to make it resemble the warehouse look and feel. The flooring is kept at the bare minimum, just like what you will find in an industrial warehouse.<\/p>\nWhom Is The Industrial Design Suited For?<\/h3>\n

\nThe use of natural materials in the d\u00e9cor design is a distinct feature in Asian design. From wood to marble to limestone, Asian-style design uses them to create a balance between nature and man-made furnishings.<\/p>\nWhom Is The Asian Design Suited For?<\/h3>\n
