hi. i'm ann myrick. and today, i'm going toshow you how to work with decorating a modern style, modern home decorating. modern homedecorating would be more of a minimal look. it is more using pieces of contemporary ormodern furniture. and it tends to be, one way you can recognize it is it tends to bemore minimal. it tends to be, instead of having the chairs angled, they're usually comingat you straight on. instead of having a lot of things on a table, many times there mightbe one incredible piece of art or one incredible light with one more thing. it's just veryminimal and very clean in the look. what i'm going to do is i'm going to work with justshowing you ways to; there's already not a lot in this room, but i'm going to show youways to just kind of take it down and create
it more of a modern look. what i'm going todo is take some of the extra accessories off. now, one way you can do this; i'm going toshow you different ways to do the table, just as examples. this is just a silver tray withbooks on it, which just leaving it just like this without a lot of things on the book,is very clean and has a very good look. but another thing you can do is, if you want totake this away, another way i can change this up. and again, this is just playing. thisis just taking what you have, working with what you have, putting it down, stepping back,looking at it. do you like it? does it work? but this is another way. just that makes avery clean, very contemporary look. you have the marble, which is a great texture, againstthe wood. and then it has the old dried orange
in it. so that makes it very clean. over here,you can take thebooks off and just have, see the wood. on this table, you could have the one lamp andthen you could have just onesmall stack of books with the candle. so modern feel, modern look, is more minimal, very clean,not a lot of little things, not a lot of clutter. and you want to use texture. this is ann myrick.and that is how to decorate a room with a modern style look.
