Modern home design emphasizes clean lines and geometric shapes. No more are features such as arches, ornate columns, window shutters, or any outlandish ornamentation.
In place of these features that at one point spoke of luxury and wealth are simple shapes and intentional asymmetry. The opulence of the past is no more.
Modern design also favors strong horizontal and vertical elements, creating a sense of hierarchy while somehow both standing out in stark contrast and blending in with the natural surroundings of the landscaping and neighborhood.
Ultimately, the aim of modern design is to simplify the home, emphasize function, and remove any unnecessary frills. With the constant distraction and bombardment of technology and stress in our modern lives, simplicity is a calming and welcoming moment in our homes.
