Modern House Floor Plan

It used to be that the word "modern" brought to mind the idea of spartan or monastic spaces. Possibly even bland and boring in terms of what we call the modern house floor plan. What most people have in mind is a more livable mix of form and function. Sleek architecture combined with state of the art technology create a modern, minimimalist appeal.

State of the art speaker systems can be concealed in the drywall of rooms throughout the house to create the ultimate home stereo without the clutter. Home theater equipment placed on a revolving table can double as new age art for both living rooms and bedrooms.

Living space can be divided into sections with simple ideas such as plain rice paper screens. This eliminates the need for some walls which could crowd the open floor space. Screens can also be easily moved if you tire of them. Windows and doors should be kept free of excess decoration. If naked windows bother you, keep the coverings to a minimum with blinds or a single pair of plain curtains.

Not all design elements need be expensive. Floor to ceiling facing mirrors can infinitely expand a room as well as multiply any decor you choose keeping necessary purchases to a minimum. Look for bargin furnishings that can do double or even triple duty in your house.

Paint and lighting are best friends to the modern house floor plan. Paint can add color, depth and even texture without taking up space while lighting, particularly recessed lighting, allows for the artistic addition of light and shadow without clutter.

A modern house floor plan can allow for open floor spaces and provide a minimalist look without being bland or boring.
