Instructions

1

Set the stage for modern decor by painting your living room walls a crisp white hue. Choose a white, black, slate gray or taupe sofa and love seat set featuring wide cushions and a low frame. Add a splash of color to the furniture with red throw blankets and matching decorative pillows. Decorate the walls with black and white images in black frames. Pick a glass-topped coffee table featuring polished chrome legs.

2

Decorate your kitchen with sleek, modern touches. Replace worn countertops with polished granite versions. Install chrome or stainless steel sink fixtures. Install chrome knobs on cupboards and drawers. Use a silver vase filled with elegant white calla lilies as a table centerpiece. Counteract the industrial look by placing live green potted plants, such as herbs, on countertops and shelves.

3

Enhance the master bedroom with a clean, minimalist style. Choose a bed frame, headboard, dresser, work desk and night stand set constructed of sleek dark wood, such as cherry or teak. Decorate the bed with a fluffy white comforter and several black and white decorative pillows. Add softness to hardwood floors with soft white rugs. Hang framed prints featuring vibrant red, green, blue and yellow geometric patterns.

Create a modern-looking bathroom using neutral colors. Hang a black shower curtain featuring light blue geometric prints from chrome rings. Display light blue and black towels on silver racks and wall shelves. Choose chrome or silver bath accessories, such as a soap dish, toothbrush holder and tissue box cover.
