Modern Accents for Your Home

If you are career-oriented, busy and always travelling, you need a modern home that is easy to clean and maintain. A modern home must have the right furniture and fixture. Aside from that, it needs modern accent furniture that blends well with the other furniture pieces. Your modern place must have the right pieces to make it alive and not boring. Do not be afraid to experiment on colors and patterns. Some homes have bold colors such as black and maroon. Printed patterns such as stripes, tiger and abstract designs go well with dark colors.

Home accents are the things such as bookcases, magazine racks, storage, shelving, storage cabinets, jewelry amoires, pillows, mirrors, coat racks, clocks, wall arts, accent tables and many more. These pieces will transform a dry, dull and lifeless home into something alive, vibrant and chic. Most homeowners would just buy furniture and would usually forget to put the right accent that goes with them. A sofa set needs the right centrepiece on its center table. The bedroom needs the right mirror that blends with the room’s theme or motif. An ordinary living room will have a sophisticated and modern look if it is accented with a wall art. A study room can also have a modern flair. There are stylish and contemporary shelving or storage pieces that can create a modern look to an ordinary study room. A contemporary bathroom can also be transformed with a new look when it has the right accents such as a mirror and a decorative wall art.

Another way to decorate your room is through accent tables. Traditional accent tables are made of hardwood and are usually carved with designs. Modern accent tables have different and stylish looks. It includes plain wood table, 3-tier designer glass table, retro style triangular black top table, cube ottoman, red cedar end table, console table, conference table with cherry finish or a nesting table.

These tables are available in cool and vibrant colors and are made of not only wood materials but plastic, steel and glass. They also come in different and unique shapes. Unlike the typical round accent tables, it comes in square, cube and rectangular shapes. They are not only modern-looking but they give elegance to the home. Not only that some of these pieces are affordable enough and would not hurt your budget.

Putting a contemporary accent in your home or in your room will definitely transform it into something sophisticated and elegant. All you need is a little imagination. Doing a little research about interior decorating will not hurt. You can even mix and match old and new pieces together for a more unique look.
