Kare Design: Modern Chic Is Here To Stay
Casual, understated, trendy, fresh and contemporary. These are just some of the ways we would describe a modern chic interior design. And we can’t get enough of this design style! So here we bring you four easy ways to achieve a modern chic room, with some top pieces from Kare Design.
Modern chic is pretty much the opposite of vintage or traditional. It does away with over-embellishments and leaves room for paired-back flair with a beautiful blend of modern materials. Think vibrant art that evokes a feeling, minimalist seating that gives a room a streamlined look, with lots of natural lighting to brighten up even the smallest space! This is Modern Chic!
Quality over quantity.
This is key to a modern chic interior. Choose pieces that speak to you and can help to anchor the room. It’s better to have one large, quality item than a crazy mix of furniture that doesn’t add any value to your space. A statement bookcase or sofa can help set the tone in your living room. A focal dining set can also give your space a fresh ambience. Whatever your choice, be sure to pick out pieces that you love and that will add a presence of quality and elegance to your interior.
Seating for pleasure
Modern chic rooms are inviting with seating that lures you in. You don’t have to settle for conventional materials either. When it comes to modern seating, we love a mix of materials with wood, metal and upholstery. This blend of contemporary finishes adds to a high-end look. Take for instance Kare Design’s Acapulco Chair. A quick and easy style upgrade for indoors and outdoors – that’s Acapulco! This design classic can be easily styled with fur or a cushion and is ready for use in any area: as a complementary armchair to the sofa, in a pair as a couch substitute, in the bedroom and of course everywhere outside in the fresh air!
Zones for casual relaxation
We love the idea of open concept homes in a modern chic style. Multifunctional spaces call for various zones for entertainment, dining, family time and more. Your choice of furniture should thus help create a streamlined look, and a flow from one zone to the next. Take, for instance, the versatile Cornwall Chair from Kare Design. With this relaxed armchair, cultivated chilling becomes an aesthetic pleasure. Incredibly cosy and easy to combine with other furniture and styles, Cornwall has the potential to become everyone’s new favourite place. In addition to its laid-back styling, this chair with its unconventional belt suspension and structured canvas material makes an impact with its striking stone-wash look. Furthermore, Cornwall is perfect for a casual, modern furnishing style. Also available as a sofa and a lounger.
Furniture as art
Key pieces in your home should entice with artistic flair. This is also a great way to create a focal point in any room. Not sure where to begin? Kare Design has an entire collection of out-of-the-box furniture items to bring dimension to your home. The Piano 2 Door Dresser, as an example, is a true icon. Black and white can be so exciting! The handmade inlays of the Piano chest of drawers create a unique pattern. The slender brass feet underline their Fifties look. It’s just as good in the bedroom as it is in the hall or bathroom.
