Simple Interior Treatments
Although neither cold nor stark, modern home interiors stress an atmosphere of comfort by the simplicity of the furnishings.
Rather than relying on mantel shelves loaded with ornaments and draperies that catch dust, modern interiors can be given an uncluttered serenity with well-designed furnishings that make for easier housekeeping and provide a restful atmosphere.
The modern treatment is also achieved with plain materials, almost blank walls and a good measure of relatively open space. These days costs are being cut by combining living and dining rooms into one simply furnished area, which treatment, in turn, serves to emphasise the area’s spaciousness.
