Hi. I'm Ann Myrick. And today, I'm going to show you how to work with decorating a modern
style, modern home decorating. Modern home decorating would be more of a minimal look.
It is more using pieces of contemporary or modern furniture. And it tends to be, one
way you can recognize it is it tends to be more minimal. It tends to be, instead of having
the chairs angled, they're usually coming at you straight on. Instead of having a lot
of things on a table, many times there might be one incredible piece of art or one incredible
light with one more thing. It's just very minimal and very clean in the look. What I'm
going to do is I'm going to work with just showing you ways to; there's already not a
lot in this room, but I'm going to show you ways to just kind of take it down and create
it more of a modern look. What I'm going to do is take some of the extra accessories off.
Now, one way you can do this; I'm going to show you different ways to do the table, just
as examples. This is just a silver tray with books on it, which just leaving it just like
this without a lot of things on the book, is very clean and has a very good look. But
another thing you can do is, if you want to take this away, another way I can change this
up. And again, this is just playing. This is just taking what you have, working with
what you have, putting it down, stepping back, looking at it. Do you like it? Does it work?
But this is another way. Just that makes a very clean, very contemporary look. You have
the marble, which is a great texture, against the wood. And then it has the old dried orange
in it. So that makes it very clean. Over here, you can take the books off and just have, see the wood. On
this table, you could have the one lamp and then you could have just one small stack of books with the candle. So modern
feel, modern look, is more minimal, very clean, not a lot of little things, not a lot of clutter.
And you want to use texture. This is Ann Myrick. And that is how to decorate a room with a
modern style look.
