property servicesodernist designs are known for their purist sensibilities including clean lines, spaciousness, and efficiency. It is a very popular style in Europe and North American condo living due to the spaciousness that it emphasizes. You see few historical architectural elements in a modern home and none in an ultra-modern style. There are no moldings, no corbels, very subtle textures, and nothing that creates a busy look. Style is reflected through technological materials such as stainless steel, glass, plastic, smooth wood veneers and other sleek materials. Since there are fewer details, colour and texture plays a very important role. In modern kitchens for example, cabinet doors that are simpler in design such as the slab door. With fewer elements to distract your eyes, when compared to traditional styles, modern design quality is reflected by the details of craftsmanship and intrinsic beauty in materials used. High-gloss lacquer finishes, exotic wood veneers, and stainless steel accents create a high-tech look.

Often different styles are mixed together to give this style of space a unique emotional connection to its occupants. In a contemporary space, it’s common to find a juxtaposition of styles such as an antique rug or historic wood table used with an ultra-modern sofa in a streamlined and technologically advanced space. 1.
