4 Reasons Why I Only Design Modern Homes
Over the years, many have adopted modern designs in their homes. But have you ever wondered, how modern style had become the most popular and the most sought-after architectural style in the 21st century? Here are 4 reasons why :
I also discuss these 4 reasons in this Youtube video here.
1. Open floor plan
Look around your house, does the wall make you feel claustrophobic as if you’re blocked out of things? But in an open floor plan, you get to enjoy a larger visual field the minute you enter the space. Imagine walking into a building, where the space feels magnificent and empty, and you don’t have anything that’s obstructing your view! It certainly makes people feel more welcomed.
2. Brings people together
In an open floor plan, the entire family gets to stay all in one space. Imagine this, you are cooking in the kitchen, while the other members are in the living room just across from you. You get to connect with them visually without having to sacrifice the task that you want to do. While the walls segregate people in different spaces, an open floor plan makes everyone feel like home.
3. Maximizing daylight
When you include an open floor plan in your design, it gives you more freedom to include glass in the perimeter of the house. Hence exposing the space to more daylight. One of the reasons most modern houses have glass is because they broke free from their walls. They only rely on the posts and beams for structural purposes, so that no walls will be blocking the views.
4. Simplicity
Do you ever feel like visual clutter triggers anxiety like I do? When you look at modern design, people often feel at ease. You don’t get distracted by too many colors, decorative ornaments etc. Hence allowing the architecture itself to shine. You get to focus on the design and concept more!
In conclusion, modern design is so popular not just because it looks cool, it is also functional and does serve a purpose. Learning the fundamentals of the design concept can help you to achieve the style easily, without digging a hole into your wallet.
