Leading Modern Furniture Design Features

It is not difficult to determine modern furniture design when you see one — basically, any furniture piece that is not vintage, is modern. The vast majority of interior decoration solutions for living rooms , dining rooms, bedrooms, and other premises are designed in modern style. Sure, there are different variations and styles, and each year is characterised by a set of new tendencies, such as fashionable colours, most popular finishes, and so on. Here, we would like to pay your attention to some of the leading features of modern furniture design:

Little decoration elements

The first and the most important feature of modern furniture design is little decoration elements. If this is firm furniture we are talking about, it will not have any decorative ornament — just even surface. Sure, the lack of decoration can be compensated by bright chrome handles, or LED lighting.

Natural production materials

In the last couple of years, natural production materials have once again gained increased popularity. This year collections, in particular, are characterised by plenty of genuine wood furniture, and even budget collections are mostly made of MDF in wood effect.

Combination of different materials

Combining different production materials is another leading trend. There are combinations that are classic (like glass and wood), as well as less usual decoration solutions (like glass and marble). And, some blends are even more unexpected than that — high gloss and wood, for instance.

Svelte shapes

A lot of soft modern furniture features svelte shapes. There are more or less classic solutions that do not draw too much attention (which is, by the way, another feature of modern furniture design), as well as models that come in abstract futuristic designs. Yet, rounded corners and svelte shapes are applicable to both.

Bright contrasts

Bright, sometimes even unexpected contrasts, are also very time relevant — both in furniture production and in interior decoration in general. It is always possible to go for the classic blend of black and white (often presented in one furniture piece) or experiment with brighter colours, like white and red, black and blue, etc.

Increased functionality

Finally, a lot of modern furniture units feature double, sometimes even triple functionality. That is, a coffee table may have extra storage units, a console table can be converted into a dining one, and so on.
