Modern design was meant to be the antithesis of the previous design styles which used
heavy textures, carvings and wood tones throughout the home. Therefore, most
components of modern design, from the furniture to the shape of the rooms, includes
clean, straight lines with no additional detail. This differs slightly from contemporary
design, which uses curves and sweeping lines, modern design’s lines are crisper
sharper and very spare
Origin and Developmemt
The modern style is simple and unadorned. It is connected to the age of
machination and is often referred to as that of the 1920s to 1950s. The modern
style movement continued to grow in popularity throughout the first half of the
20th century, and later derivatives of this style are known as mid-century modern
and postmodern.
Key characterstics of the Style

white, to darker shades, such as chocolate or Charcoal.
