5 projects for a modern home for inspiration

Nowadays, modern is one of the most widely used and appreciated styles. In general, modern is born from a harmonious combination of two basic points: functionality and aesthetics. These elements must go hand in hand when designing a modern home. Here are 5 projects for a modern home to take inspiration from.

The modern home, to be defined as such, must be both functional and aesthetic. Modern is characterised by a linear and essential décor, where the excess of decoration leaves room for purely functional elements to ensure the efficiency of the home. Below are 5 projects for a modern home to take inspiration from.

 Open-plan living area

Modern rooms are, first and foremost, large, bright and comfortable spaces. Precisely to ensure these essential characteristics, an increasingly typical solution for the modern living area is to opt for an open space. This is a single space that includes the living room, kitchen and dining room. In a modern home with open space, these three main rooms are thus presented as a unicum, where anyone can move around comfortably. Just as the living room can be enriched with sofas and armchairs, the dining room can accommodate cupboards, storage units and, if space permits, a large, attention-grabbing high-design table. A good idea, for example, could be to include a wooden table, where quality and aesthetics will not be ignored.

Table Tense Material Wood MDF Italia

Among the various proposals in the Arredare Moderno catalogue, the Tense Material Legno MDF Italia table has a structure in wood, charred wood and fine wood. The table is characterised by an essential and linear design, ideal for a modern style environment.

Kitchen with island or peninsula

One of the characteristics of modern homes is to have a large, comfortable and functional kitchen. A typical element of this environment, created precisely with the aim of guaranteeing maximum working efficiency, is the peninsula or island. These counter tops, in fact, offer a very large work space on which to operate, whether for cooking or washing. Some models, moreover, are equipped with additional drawers where it is possible to store dishes and various accessories or, alternatively, even the oven and dishwasher. This will ensure that these do not take up space and are not bulky at all, even though they are always available.

Living room with fireplace

An element that characterises modern homes is the fireplace. Generally, this is placed in the living area, possibly in the living room, although it can also be placed in the sleeping area. In recent years, interior designers and architects have begun to favour the bioethanol fireplace. It is an environmentally friendly fireplace that does not dirty, does not emit odours and does not require the use of a chimney. The product is very popular in modern-style homes, not only for its sustainable functionality, but above all for its aesthetics. In fact, bioethanol products are characterised by absolutely elegant, refined and high-quality designs that are ideal for a modern environment.

Kubo Tomasucci bioethanol fireplace

An increasingly typical solution in modern homes is to opt for a bioethanol fireplace. On Arredare Moderno, among the various models, the Kubo Tomasucci bioethanol fireplace is available. The product stands out for its unique modern design, with a metal structure and stainless steel back and combustion chamber.

Modern home: home automation and sustainability

Nowadays, when one speaks of a modern home, apart from furniture, one immediately thinks of a functional home and technology. Precisely for this reason, home automation has become an indispensable element. By this term, reference is made to a series of innovative technologies that allow the activities of daily life to be lived with the utmost ease and comfort. Home automation, therefore, improves the quality of life, as it both makes the home more efficient and safer and saves money. A second element that characterises modern homes is sustainability. Ecological houses are built with natural materials and use renewable energy, thus ensuring energy efficiency and savings.

The modern bedroom

Like the other rooms in the home, the bedroom must present itself as a perfect fusion of functionality and aesthetics. Generally, as far as colour combinations are concerned, it is usual to opt for neutral and muted solutions, ideal for enhancing the elegance of the room. In addition to the bedroom essentials such as the bed, bedside table and wardrobe, a modern room could be enriched with a small space dedicated to comfort and total relaxation. This peaceful corner should be equipped with a modern sofa, armchairs and a coffee table, ideal for welcoming possible guests. Finally, as regards lighting, in addition to the central chandelier, LED spotlights could be inserted to enhance all corners of the room.

Noctis Hug 03 Double Bed

The Noctis Hug 03 Double bed is characterised by a special fabric: Lycra and Lycra velvet. The structure features a headboard that recalls the shape of a cloud and a base with storage units. The article, available on the Arredare Moderno website, has an impactful modern aesthetic, capable of capturing attention and enhancing the surrounding furnishings.
