What
crosses your mind whenever someone shouts out “modern-styled home”?
Contemporary, cool, or eco-friendly? Those are possible, for in fact, in some
modern house designs we can see
those characteristics. Though it cannot be used to describe a modern house
completely, yet, we have clearer visions of how we should build a modern house.

Exterior
Look
People
coming to visit your home would definitely witness the magnificence of your
house’s exterior, and if you plan to build a modern house, you should have
shown off the style even from the front gate. But how can we distinguish modern
house designs from other styles?
There is one explicit feature to put on: geometrical shapes.
Modern
houses are unique for their simple, neat and clean looks. Geometrical shapes
such as rectangle, circle, and even trapezoid, are able to present those
mentioned characteristics. So, you may find sharp edges and corners at your
house exterior look. Without having to add many ornaments, those features gives
a classy atmosphere to your house.
The
geometrical shapes are mostly supported with large glass windows and doors,
installed on thin yet strong frames. One of the most primary purposes of
choosing that type of fixture is to reduce energy consumption spent by the
house’s interior lighting.
Meanwhile,
the selection of natural color paints might be able to define whether or not
the house adopts modern style. Most modern house
designs employ pastel natural colors, such as white, cream, brown, and
other colors in similar shades.
Interior
Look
The view
you find at a modern house’s exterior can also be traced in the interior.
Geometrical shapes can be pretty dominant, projected through the fixture and
furniture. Sofa set in the living room, shelves in the corridor and paintings
on the family room’s walls help you define the modern-style house.
Similarly,
dominant colors applied in the house’s interior are also those natural and soft
colors. You may actually be able to find one house whose walls coated in bold
colors, yet, you cannot deny the simplicity that the interior designer try to
present. Simplicity has such a close association with modern look, so it is
almost impossible to separate them.
And more
importantly, as what you can find at the exterior, a modern house should live
up eco-friendly principles. The house’s energy consumption should be carefully
planned and arranged, for instance by selecting lights which can save more
energy.
