Modern design takes many forms, from warm and layered to refined and sculptural. We celebrate that breadth of expression, including our take on sleek modern design with its clean lines, subtle textures and edited approach.
Repetitive forms, materials and colors are the hallmarks of this look.
Clean lines and simplified details help achieve visual calm. Less is more.
At its best, sleek modern style feels like a calm retreat with timeless appeal that’s flexible over time.
A restrained color palette and the absence of patterns put the focus on the quality and beauty of the materials.
A light layer of decor – an artful book here, a large piece of art there—keeps things edited and easy.
Geometric shapes reinforce a contemporary aesthetic while providing additional interest.
