My open concept kitchen and family room. I do love the design and am thrilled with all the new appliances, but every time I sit down to watch something, someone will go into the kitchen for a snack. The rattling of bags, running water, and scooping ice echoes through the space and provides a distraction. First world problems, I know.
Modern design is one of those terms in home decor that feels like a moving target. Modern, by its definition according to Webster's Dictionary, is "of, relating to, or characteristic of the present or the immediate past; contemporary."So what does that mean when "of the present or the immediate past" is constantly moving forward? "Modern design is open-concept, with clean lines, and a flow through a home without clutter," explains Sallie Lord, principal and founder of Virginia-based GreyHunt Interiors.
