These are the modern interior design tips we give customers every week at Bova's showroom on Alpha Road in Dallas — the same handful of moves that make a Preston Hollow living room, a Frisco new build, or an Uptown condo look finished instead of furnished. Every idea below is illustrated with a piece you can sit on or walk around in our Dallas showroom before you commit.
Modern Interior Design Tips for a Stylish Home
You do not have to redo your home to make it beautiful. If you have modern furniture and a good layout, you can make any room look great. At Bova Contemporary Furniture, we think that modern interior design should be about being comfortable, functional, and looking good all the time.
Here are some simple modern interior design tips to make your home look better.
Start with a Neutral Color
Use colors like white, gray, and beige to make your modern home look clean and stylish. These neutral colors make your rooms look bigger and help show off your contemporary furniture. You can add some color with pillows, pictures, rugs, or other décor that shows your personality.
Choose Furniture that Stands Out
Modern interior design is about having a few good things instead of a lot of little things. Instead of filling a room with a lot of small furniture, buy a few big pieces like a nice modern sofa, a stylish dining table, or a cool coffee table. In our Dallas showroom the pieces that do this job most often are an Incanto Italian leather sectional, an ALF Italia extendable dining table, or a sculptural coffee table like the Katniss S-shape.
These pieces will become the center of the room and help define your living space.
Think About How You Use the Space
A good layout makes your home comfortable and stylish. Make sure you have room to move around and put your furniture around something important like a coffee table, fireplace, or entertainment area. Dallas homes tend to have big open-plan living areas, and the mistake we see most is pushing everything against the walls — float the sofa, and use a rug to define the conversation zone.
In open spaces, rugs can help create different areas and organize your modern living room layout.
Mix Different Materials
Using different materials makes your home look more interesting and adds depth to your modern interior design. You can mix materials like wood, glass, metal, marble, and leather to create a balanced look.
For example, a leather sofa looks great with a marble or sintered-stone coffee table and a metal light fixture.
Keep it Simple but Stylish
Modern design is about keeping things simple. Do not have too much stuff and instead pick a few pieces that really stand out. You can have a large picture, a decorative vase, or a cool modern lighting fixture.
This way your home will look clean, stylish, and well designed.
