As new trends emerge and your tastes change, you might end up in a space that needs a modern makeover. You're not alone we're here to help!

As you begin to think about your modern home transformation, there are many techniques, approaches, and methods that can seem overwhelming. The good news is that it doesn't have to be that complicated. You can implement small scale changes like introducing a new mid century modern chair or statement designs like a Mario Bellini Sofa to elevate your space into your new modern vibe.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it! So, if you feel like your space could use a touch of modern magic check out these helpful tips on how to make your home feel more modern!

Expand Your Space

The modern approach isn't complicated (it's actually quite simple). So to start off, we suggest opening the space in your house. And no, that doesn't mean you need more square footage! Instead, we're talking about a gentle minimalist method that has you expand your space by minimizing your decor/furniture.

Modern designs aren't meant to feel cluttered, so it could help to take some unnecessary decor into empty spaces to make the room feel more expansive. Once you feel like you've leveled down the amount of stuff in your home, you can begin spacing out your furniture for a more open feel you'll be amazed at how much space you really have!

Elevate Your Decor Style

The best part about home decor is how easy it is to switch up. If you're looking to make your home feel more modern, then revamping your decor choices can give it a whole new vibe. When it comes to modern decor, we suggest thinking about minimal designs, refreshing houseplants in their mid century planters, and rearranging what you have.

You might not want to say goodbye to all of your decors just yet, but you can modernize it by simply moving it around. For example, the stacks of books/DVDs in your entertainment center or on your mid century modern coffee table can move to a shelf where they'll take up less space. 

Once you've found a spot for your old decor (storage or otherwise), you'll have more room to fill your space with updated decor such as metallic accents, large mirrors, minimalist furniture, and artwork!

Consider Your Surroundings

Have you ever stopped to think about if you really like the color of your walls? Your walls surround every room in your house, which makes a huge difference when you think about it. However, you might be happy with the color of the walls that surround your home and that's fine too. The point is that it's essential to consider your emotions about these larger aspects of your home design and make sure they're what you want.

If you feel like your walls could use an exciting touch of modern magic, there are more than enough ways for you to get creative. You might not want to paint an entire room a new color, but you can save some money and repaint or wallpaper one wall with a standout style. It's a simple but noticeable change that appears quite often in modern interiors. 

Brighten Up

Along with the previously mentioned point, you should take time to find the best lighting for your space. Lighting can influence your entire area, and that includes the lightbulbs too! Luckily, there are plenty of fresh new mid century modern lighting options and unique designs for you to choose from.

If your home is filled with natural light, remember to highlight it! Place your furniture in places that welcome the light from outside, making your design feel tailored to the layout of your home.

Style With Purpose

As we mentioned before, the modern look doesn't feel cluttered. That being said, a great way to keep things light but attractive is to design with a purpose. Every time you move a chair or add a piece of decor, you should be doing it because it's something you genuinely care about being in your space.

To feel good and excited in your home is easier when you're surrounded by things you love and want around you. So, when you start to switch up your design, try not to act on impulse plan ahead! This means you can research decor, furniture, and other arrangements until you find something perfect for your home. It's much easier to walk into a store and shop styles that you think look good, but it's more modern to spend time curating the perfect pieces!

Everything could use an upgrade every now and then including your home design.

The things you used to love about your interior design might not bring you the same satisfaction today. As time passes, our style will evolve, and you have the power to get creative and evolve your home design with a little bit of modern magic!

It is a new year after all what changes will you make?
