what is
MODERN LIVING
Modern living is all about what is happening right now. The appreciation of the original artist and looking at what we do in our homes while being aware of our environment. We are out of our beige coma and bursting with colour. No need to choose colours that everyone will agree with. Now, is about expression of yourself in colour and with a little bit of cheekiness.
make astatement Don’t hold back on strong colours, as they are the perfect compliment to a modern home with large open spaces.
Keep structure in your room by sticking to the same colour palette in paint and furniture but mix up your furniture styles.
Kick back and enjoy the space Create areas in your open plan living by using your furniture and accessories. A sitting area can be part of a large room that incorporates your lounge and dining but by using different coloured furniture and a rug you are able to make a ‘room within a room’.

meetingPOINT For a lively dining space use bold art and wall colours. Contrast with crisp white and beautiful blonde timbers.
Your dining area is the meeting point of your home. It will be used for eating, homework and catching up with each other so put your emphasis here on colour so it doesn’t become cluttered.
The conversation pit of the home A dining area in open plan living needs to be kept simple. Strong lines in your furniture means you only need to add one or two things like a lamp or artwork to complete the look. Dark colours make a room feel intimate when you have a large open space.

Look to nature for inspiration in your colours and your patterns. Mix your patterns so the scheme doesn’t feel too structured and use fabrics like hemp and raw cottons to add texture.

Back to nature for your bedroom Sustainable design is very much at the forefront of today’s living. Recycled and plantation timbers take us back to a simple, yet structured look.
