Real estate virtual staging is popular for being an incredible breakthrough as well as an inexpensive and easy method which has proven to when it comes to selling houses, especially empty ones. However, sometimes, it might waste time and money if clients do not know exactly what they expect and have no specific furniture styles. Below are some ideas to avoid such unpleasant situations.

Modern Style In Real Estate Virtual Staging

If your taste are simplicity, straight lines, neutral colors but there is something still warm, the Modern interior design style will be an optimal choice. Appearing in the late 19th century, the Modern style soon exerted a great impact. Modernism movement quickly developed into a breakthrough and trendy lifestyle. As a strong break with classical architecture, simple modern buildings’ cubic layout, open floor plan and asymmetrical.

Clean lines

Modern homes are constructed with clean, straight lines and minimal ornamentation. 

Neutral colors

Modern Style favors neutral colors such as white, black, gray, and beige to enhance the elegance and grandeur. Instead, when doing real estate virtual staging, you can show off the property by mixing some contrasting colors to create accents for any special corner of the space.

Minimal home decor

Modern spaces are free from clutter and unnecessary flourishes. Modern decor prioritizes functionality over fashion.

Open floor plan

Modern homes favor furniture rather than walls so as to separate different spaces of an open plan home. For instance, a sectional or a kitchen island can simply bring definition to an open dining-kitchen-living combination.

Low and long furniture: Long furniture pieces situated low to the ground can give your home a modern look if they’re also made from natural materials like unpainted wood or metal. Leather and fabric upholstery, wood veneers (such as those used to create the classically mid-century modern Eames chair), glass, chrome, steel, and concrete are also popular finishes for modern furniture.

Contemporary Style In Real Estate Virtual Staging

The contemporary style comes from the contemporary art movement of the mid-20th century. Contemporary interior design inherits modern design lines and can incorporate different styles’ features. Unlike the modern style, contemporary style always changes associated with the times.  Alternatively, it is an ever-evolving style that reflects what is happening.

Through the characteristics of colors, lighting, furniture, materials, etc. below, we can easily identify this design style.

Materials

Popular materials in contemporary interior styles include metals such as chrome, nickel or stainless steel. In addition, we can easily encounter rough walls, cement concrete, etc. in contemporary apartments.

Interior Furniture

Contemporary design prefers furniture with simple shapes. However, instead of just using square lines like modern style, curves are more popular in this style.

Light is also an important factor in contemporary style. This style has a very clever combination of natural light and artificial light to create a unique building.

The differences between modern and contemporary styles

People quite often feel confused when differentiating the Modern and Contemporary design styles because both are simple, uncluttered with clean lines. However, actually, they are totally different.

• Modern: formed at the end of the 20th century. This is a revolution in architectural design which has coped with the weakness of the classic design. Modern interior design focuses on function and comfort, omitting all cumbersome and unnecessary details. Light colors bring a sense of simplicity and sophistication to the space.
• Contemporary: flourished from the beginning of the 21st century. “Contempt” means continuity of time and constantly updating the latest trends at a certain time. It’s disruptive, bold, flexible, and reflects society.
