Creating a Modern Aesthetic in Your Home

October 8, 2024
  • Share

Looking to redecorate your home? Or maybe just elevate the look of it? The modern aesthetic can do just that for your home. Whether we’re talking bedroom, living room, kitchen, or wherever else, the modern aesthetic can fit well into any of these spaces.

If you’re still not sure where to start, we’re here to give you some inspo on how you can execute this style.

Modern Aesthetic Home Ideas

Kitchen and Dining Room

If you’re looking to create a dining area that fits in with the modern aesthetic, you may want to stick with sleek items like this dining table. The dining chairs also have a more unique design that adds to the whole modern aesthetic of everything.

Here is a more elevated version of a modern dining room. While the over theme of the style is the same, the design certainly differs. This dining room is much more fancy and luxurious-looking. The drop-down teardrop lights play into that overall expensive look. Similarly, though, both dining areas are kept very minimalistic.

As you can probably start to tell, there are many ways to style and design a dining room to fit the modern aesthetic. It is a pretty wide range of designs so you can still very much customize everything to your exact liking. This dining room for example, while still on-theme with modern, exudes a feeling of warmth and coziness. This is similar to the first dining room shown but contrasts greatly with the dining room above, which is more cool-toned. Neither option is “right” or “wrong”, it’s just about what kind of vibes you’d want for your dining room.

Bedroom

There are also plenty of ways to style and design and modern bedroom. One of the key pieces in doing so is finding a bedframe that matches the aesthetic as well. After all, it is one of, if not the centerpiece of the bedroom.

Here is another way to design a bedroom under the modern aesthetic. This bedroom uses warmer tones to create a cozier feeling while still maintaining the overall theme of the space. The color and tones of furniture you choose can affect how the space turns out, even if they’re all under the same ‘modern aesthetic’.

Living Room

This living room is on the more casual side. The furniture is all very clean and modern in design. The use of light, neutral colors helps make the room more “cool-toned”. And as you can see, the lighting here also matches the modern aesthetic, tying the whole space together.

Here is another cool-toned modern living room. This living room here is much more minimalistic and sleek. It exudes a sense of luxury and “expensive-ness”. The abstract chandelier is also a nice touch to bring everything together.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone
B — Light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows
A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.
