Conventional coastal home interiors often fit the clich\u00e9 \u2013 a colour palette of white and blue,
\ncane accessories, shell-adorned mirrors and a sprinkling of nautical props for good measure!<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for a fresh and inspired interiors theme for your coastal home, it’s time to meditate on a more modern approach.<\/p>\n
Modernism, one of Metricon\u2019s many Lookbook themes, is perfect for the coastal home.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the European modernist movement from the 20th century, Modernism is a contemporary interiors scheme showcasing design principles such as \u2018form follows function\u2019 and \u2018truth to materials\u2019. In layman’s terms, this means clean lines, simple form, the use of everyday materials (timber, stone, wool, steel). The scheme also features a simple colour palette that plays on light and shade. The result is a sophisticated interior that won’t date.<\/p>\n
Modernism has been woven through the interiors at Metricon\u2019s Botanica 32 display home at Fyansford on the western edge of Geelong.<\/p>\n
Simon Taylor, Metricon\u2019s Manager, Regional West says, \u201cSimple contemporary interiors are very much in demand. The Modernism Lookbook theme at the Botanica 32 has received very positive feedback as it\u2019s timeless and is easy to replicate\u201d.<\/p>\n
What typifies the Modernism theme?
\n\u2022 Oak and walnut timbers.
\n\u2022 Raw concrete forms and black detailing.
\n\u2022 Muted earthy colours in olives, grey, navy, and rust.
\n\u2022 Furniture with a mid-20th century design aesthetic<\/p>\n
How to recreate the Modernism look in your home When styling, opt for abstract, bold and contrasting elements.<\/p>\n
Monochromatic, geometric prints alongside a bold colour or feature in a room work perfectly with this scheme. Contemporary artwork and indoor plants also help brighten this otherwise minimal theme, bringing interest and a pop of colour to each room.<\/p>\n
