Eclectic Modern Style

It is meaningless to identify a specific interior style, especially if it comes from the past century: high-tech, art deco, modernism, classic. Designers offer an eclectic interior — a mix of styles. There is a unified eclecticism 'modern style', which implies conscious use of space, cultural choice of items, personal comfort, and a personalized interior.

Lightweight Furniture

Due to the pandemic, spending a long time in one's apartment, many felt the 'weight' of bulky wardrobes and large desks. The new generation prefers modular and lightweight furniture instead. Lightweight furniture on legs or even without them, simple forms create a sense of airiness and lightness in the interior.

Design of Sensations

During 2020, we realized how important live events and time away from social media are. Real-life communication became a luxury and a valuable asset, which affected space organization. Modern interior design aims to establish an emotional connection with people through touch. Tactile sensations, furniture items you want to touch or hug, feeling the texture of an object. All this is added through textured upholstery, fluffy carpets, handmade ceramics.

Accent Wall

When a home interior is created for the sake of a photo, likes, comments and showing off details through social media. Many people work from home, it's important to plan a place for Zoom calls, live streams, stories. Creating a colored wall or beautifully decorated with thoughtful lighting, desk and chair has become the norm.

Use of Color

Color can transform any apartment beyond recognition. When we live, work and relax at home, it becomes an excellent tool for zoning, creating atmosphere and setting a particular mood for life. Regardless of fashion trends, choosing any color—be it pink, coral, blue or burgundy—you bring charm and allure to the interior. We all want colorful life in these unstable times!
