INTERIOR DESIGN

At GoGold it is important that your property has the air of quality that you would expect to make the perfect home.

A modern interior design style focuses on clean lines, minimalism, and a neutral or subdued colour palette. Each space in your home—living room, bedroom, and kitchen—can reflect these principles while still being functional and comfortable. Here’s a guide for each room:

1. Living Room

Modern living rooms typically embrace open space and simple furnishings that don’t overwhelm. Here’s how to achieve a sleek, modern look:

  • Colour Palette: Neutral tones like white, grey, creams, beige, and muted colours are all the rage.  You can add accent colours with cushions, rugs, or art (for example deep blue, mustard, or muted green).
  • Furniture: Opt for low-profile furniture with clean lines, like a sleek sofa and minimalist coffee table. Leather, metal, and glass materials work well here.
  • Lighting: Use sleek pendant lights or floor lamps with metallic finishes. Natural light should also be maximized—think large, uncovered windows or minimal sheer curtains.
  • Accessories: Keep décor minimal—sculptures, modern art, or a statement plant can add character without cluttering the space. Choose large, impactful pieces rather than many small ones.
  • Flooring: Hardwood or polished concrete works well. You can add a geometric area rug to soften the look.

 

2. Bedroom

A modern bedroom should be serene and uncluttered, emphasizing comfort and simplicity.

  • Colour Palette: Stick to cool neutrals with pops of colour in bedding or a statement wall.
  • Furniture: A platform bed with simple bedding is a hallmark of modern style. Incorporate sleek nightstands and built-in wardrobes with minimalist handles.
  • Lighting: Pendant lights or wall-mounted sconces provide soft, indirect lighting. If possible, avoid traditional bedside lamps in favour of more integrated lighting solutions.
  • Textiles: Use luxurious but understated bedding—think high-thread-count sheets in solid colours or subtle patterns. Avoid heavy or overly decorative bedding.
  • Décor: Keep wall art minimal. A single large piece over the bed or a simple gallery wall can add personality without cluttering.

 

3. Kitchen

A modern kitchen emphasizes functionality with sleek designs and smart storage solutions.

  • Colour Palette: White, grey, creams and muted colours all work well, often with contrasting cabinetry or island accents.
  • Cabinetry: Flat-front cabinets with integrated handles (or no handles) keep the look streamlined. Matte finishes in neutral tones are a popular choice.
  • Countertops: Materials like quartz, granite, or polished concrete add a luxurious yet understated feel. Waterfall countertops are a modern statement.
  • Appliances: Stainless steel or black matte appliances fit perfectly into the modern kitchen. Consider built-in appliances to maintain a clean, uninterrupted look.
  • Lighting: Pendant lights over the island or bar area are common. Under-cabinet lighting can add a modern touch while making the space more functional.
  • Flooring: Large-format tiles or polished concrete are typical. Wooden flooring is also an option, especially if it flows from other areas of the home.

General Modern Design Tips:

  • Open Concept: Modern design often favours an open layout, especially between the living room and kitchen. If walls are an obstacle, consider partial walls or large openings to enhance flow.
  • Minimalism: Keep décor and furniture simple. Avoid heavy ornamentation and instead focus on a few statement pieces.
  • Clean Lines: Straight lines and geometric shapes define modern furniture, lighting, and architectural elements.
  • Textures: Play with texture through materials like leather, metal, glass, and wood to keep things interesting without using bold patterns.
  • Technology: Consider incorporating smart home technology, like automated lighting or built-in speakers, for a futuristic touch.
