A Brief History of Modern Design
Modern design is rooted in modernism by an emphasis
on abstract thinking, functionality and simple forms.
German roots:You can trace the origins of modern
design to German Bauhaus design. Bauhaus was a
German school of design and art movement, the modern
design aesthetics of the Bauhaus school include
minimalistic functionality and experiments with shape.
Modern art influence: Modern home design grew out of
the modern art movement, rejected the maximalist of
Victorian design in favor of a form-follows-function
philosophy. New technologies, industrialization, and
access to building materials like steel and concrete also
informed modern art and architecture from the 1920-50.

5 Defining Elements of Modern Design
1. Clean lines: Modern homes are constructed with
clean, straight lines and minimal ornamentation.
2. Minimal home decor: Modern spaces are free from
clutter and unnecessary flourishes. Modern decor
prioritizes functionality over fashion.
3. Neutral colors: Modern style steers clear of bright
colors in favor of a monochromatic, neutral color palette.
Think white, beige, gray, black, and pastel tones.
4. Open floor plan: Use furniture instead of walls to
differentiate between the spaces of an open plan home.
For example, a kitchen island can separate a kitchen
from the dining room, and a sectional sofa can bring
definition to an open living room.
