Modern, industrial. A significant challenge many of our clients face is a lack of understanding or vocabulary to describe and define their personal interior design style.

Modern is a broad design term that typically refers to a home with clean, crisp lines, a simple colour palette and the use of materials that can include metal, glass and steel.
