  • Starting off by drawing up a plan is a must. It is even better if the plan is to scale. The reason why this is such a good thing, is that you will need to know exactly what space you do have to work with. From there you can draw out each room in the home, to show the size and the shape before you plan things out, or before you start buying things.

  • Earthy and neutral tones can work really well when you are looking to create a really stylish home. The reason being is that they aren’t too ‘in your face’ and they are always going to look good. Brighter colors can go in and out of style quite quickly, and if left in your home, can make it look quite dated. When the colors in your home are more pared back, they can also help small spaces seem much bigger, plus, they always look more contemporary.

  • As well as using earthy tones and neutrals, how about incorporating some natural materials into the home? It can help to make the home look modern, but not in a minimal and monochrome way. Using wood in the home can create a light and summery feel in the home, and something like concrete cladding, yes, really, can look unique and classy. You could have a look at a site like https://www.dekko.ca/cladding/ to see what we’re talking about, but it could be something that could work in your home.

  • Using mirrors can be a secret weapon in any home, as they can do so much. As articles like this one show us, https://www.countryliving.com/how-to-use-mirrors/, they can create the illusion of space, make a room much lighter and brighter, and help to make a room look more stylish, as you can get classic looking larger mirrors, as well as more modern, funky looking mirrors. Adding some art to a room can also work in a similar way, helping to up your modern home furnishing game. Both together, mirrors and art, really are an auspicious pair.

  • Kitchens are often described as the heart of the home, so it is important not to forget about it. Your kitchen needs to be quite modern and cutting edge, as you are using it multiple times a day. Brushed metal appliances with brass, copper, and other industrial tones can work well to create a look that is contemporary as well as functional.
