Modern design and aesthetics largely center around a natural, fresh, and minimalistic vibe. When you come home after a long and tiring day, whether at work, school, or elsewhere, you’ll ideally feel relaxed, comfortable, and at peace in your living space. There’s no better way to accomplish this than with natural elements (ie: plants!)While apartments may not feature residential homes' large backyards or greenspaces, they often leave enough space for potted plants. Potted plants can be extremely beneficial to your living space, and they don’t typically require too much maintenance. Introduce several green plants of various types, sizes, and aesthetics into places where you want to feel relaxed, such as the living room, bedroom, and even your balcony, for a modern look and feel.
When adding modern décor to your apartment, mirrors are a mainstay! Mirrors and reflective surfaces have an almost magical and mystical effect in the way they create an ambiance of elegance, sophistication, and illumination. When placed strategically in a small apartment, mirrors will reflect natural sunlight onto surrounding spaces, helping the space appear and feel larger than it actually is. You can select different types, sizes, finishes, and shapes of mirrors to include in various parts of your home to introduce a customized type of modern interior design that feels like you! For those seeking modern interiors, the combination of white walls, mirrors, and natural light is destined for greatness.
Depending on the terms of your rental agreement, you may or may not be allowed to customize the colors of your apartment walls. Even if you are able to paint your walls, painting them back before you move out is a hassle. If you desire a modern aesthetic in your living space, the best thing to do is to leave your apartment walls white. White isn’t boring. In fact, it’s the safest, simplest, and most elegant option! White walls are versatile and classic and will inherently match seamlessly with your furniture and furnishings. What’s more, when paired with mirrors and other reflective surfaces, your white walls will bounce natural sunlight into your living space, creating the illusion of more space and openness in your home.
Your bedroom is your personal, private sanctuary. To model your bedroom with modern décor in mind, you should plan carefully when deciding what furniture pieces and decorative items you’ll introduce into the room. You want your bedroom to feel calming and comfortable yet elegant. As with the other spaces in your apartment, you’ll want to keep your bedroom walls white, as this hue is both luxurious as it is forgiving. White walls look beautiful in general, but they also allow you to play with some creativity when selecting and installing decorative items and furnishings. For most apartment dwellers, a bed, mattress, rug, window dressings, and layered lighting features are all that is required for a modern aesthetic. For those seeking more functionality in their bedroom, consider introducing bedside tables, mirrors, dressers, chairs, shelves, and other items. Just make sure they mesh seamlessly with your bedroom furniture staples and do not create a cluttered feel.
