10 ideas for decorating modern houses

This is the kind of image that gives the illusion of a never ending, Alice and Wonderland-style hallway. The reason is very simple: the mirror on the wall down the hall. This was the first indication that we wanted to give, if you want to expand any space in your home, the greatest secret is the use of a large mirror. In front of the mirror we have a bust that, despite being a classical sculpture, is so outlandish that it ultimately reaffirms the modern decor in the room, especially if we consider the rest of the decor of this corridor, which is, certainly very avant-garde.

Let 's start with an example that is a problem for most of us. What do we do with the odd angled space under the stairs? The truth is that this is a very small space, which does not leave much room for the imagination. However, there are solutions, and this example is living proof. Why not create a small greenhouse with stones? Is this not a great idea? Besides being a cozy corner, this example of modern design, is also quite easy to accomplish and maintenance is virtually nonexistent. Therefore, if you do not want to have a lot of work, but you want your home as beautiful as possible, This proposal is a great solution!

The entry way can be a problem when decorating a house, because it is a limited space, which serves as a passage, but it exists and ends up being a kind of invitation card to your home – the presentation of the house, if you will. That's why we present this suggestion that, in our view, is very tasteful and elegant. Now note, all you need is a simple table, two flower vases, two lamps and a mirror to create a grand entrance that is simple as charming. In this case, the colours are important – it is important to have a note of bright colour. The horizontal stripes are balanced by a great pink and metallic pop with the lamps.

We have often talked about the importance of color on the decorative level. Even if it is very small, in one way or another you always have to have great colour in a home. A house without color, is a lifeless house. This image is one of those areas, which has no other name space, however, is a space with a fairly large size and  being left completely naked is not the best solution. Therefore, we suggest classic furniture design, which loses all its classicism with that mustard yellow that never goes unnoticed. Often the trick is to choose complementary pieces and paint colors that immediately steal our attention, as it has done Samara Barbosa Arquitetura in this image.

If you are a nature lover, you'll love this example: a tree inside. Clearly it is something out of the ordinary, but it makes sense when decorating a modern home. Yes, modern decor is not only made from pieces with a different design, it can also be a pop of nature. And a tree inside a house is undoubtedly a very modern and transgressive decoration. This proposal is by Victoria Plascencia Interorismo.

Here we suggest another super fun example right at the entrance of your home. In this proposal E lementy Pracownia Architektury Wnetrz chose yellow and black for decoration, and this example could not be better. Decorated with a more naive-design, the house and the warm welcome is complemented by a more elegant lighting system hanging from the ceiling. An example showing balance that certainly gives a special touch to this space.

How to call such a space, a terrace? Maybe, but today we have a much more appropriate and interesting option: interior greenhouse. Basically we could describe this space as a sunny spot in the house where we have outdoor plants that need to be treated with care and dedication. This type of space is very good to have a moment of silence, tranquility and calm, as one of the main features of greenhouses.

We must take advantage of the communal spaces in our home, and transform them into decorative areas. Decorating a modern home can make use of different corners and make them better. A lobby,  in this example of Ekaterina Where Design, we see that a shelf, a shoe area and a stool to sit on are chosen to decorate and provide order. With brown accents and a frame on the board, this area becomes a living space to be appreciated.

We will show you one more example we really like. First the choice of wall painted black is great, and could not be a better backdrop for the pink stool and hanger with coloured motifs. As you can see, only two elements and a black wall are needed and youhave a modern corner in your home.

We finally ended up with a lobby that we also love. A space where the different elements are creating a dynamic visual for welcoming guests into your home. Choose some decorative elements to your liking, for example, a dried flower arrangement, a lamp or a mirror and play with combinations to create similar entry in your home. 

The decor of your modern home can always improve with a few suggestions. At homify, we take every, tiny corner of your home and its decor serious, so stick with us for more lobby and entryway design!
