What is a Modern Style Home?

Modern Style Homes are defined by clean, simple styling.  Design elements are geometry inspired and based on art deco styles, which reached the height of their popularity in the 1920s and 30s.  Other influences include modern Scandinavian design and styles rooted in the German Bauhaus School of Design.  The following features characterize modern style homes:

Interiors: Large, streamlined windows illuminate the smooth interiors of a modern style home.  Simple yet sleek materials such as linoleum, granite, or concrete are used for flooring, while walls are typically finished with smooth, untextured stucco.  Roofs are shallow and flat.  Decorative elements are subtle and used minimally.

Architecture:  Modern home design uses strong geometric shapes and focuses on asymmetry and well-defined angles.  Boxy shapes in multiple sizes add depth.  The property lot is often incorporated into the home design, creating an interesting balance between the home's indoor and outdoor space.

Color Palette:  Modern home styles focus on neutral, subdued colors like varying shades of cream and white.  This simple color palette allows the focus to be on the home design and enhances interior lighting.
