A bedroom with a modern theme means there can be no half measures in its application. A style which relies heavily on structure and form and a significant use of space needs only one or two strong elements to enforce it.
Stylish storage systems will help to emphasize the theme by preventing inappropriate belongings from upsetting the balance, while flooring can make a positive contribution to the design; use sympathetic colours, textures and finishes, or combine materials, such as wooden boards or even cement, polished to a marble finish, with rugs to soften the effect.
In a room when little is left on view, texture can play an important visual role. Fabrics for bed covers and even the bed linen can be made to toe the modern line. While painting may be out of financial range in the early years of property ownership, prints and black and white photographs are becoming increasingly popular.

Modern can be romantic as well as minimal. Here a small, low chair upholstered in fresh white linen with a silvery metallic applique, and a day bed,simply draped in a lace sheet and scattered with a few white-clad cushions, combine to sharpen up a fairly empty room.
The blue tone of this corner, the transparency of the long, blue curtain, the drunken chandelier and the empty ornate frame perched on the mantelpiece lend the room an air of mystery. The fireplace surround has been clad in reflective beaten metal, which gives the room another dimension. The overall effect is stylish, the minimum of possessions creating the maximum effect.
