Modern Interior Design Transforms Your Home

We love modern interior design because it speaks to a simple yet visually engaging aesthetic. Luxury furniture has clean lines and focuses on function first. Modern design leaves extravagant accessorizing to the wayside and instead uses the philosophy of “less is more” to create a beautiful home design. Our many fabulous collections of furniture promote a sense of serenity while appearing beautiful and timeless.

Incorporating modern interior design is easy to do with accessories primarily. We love the idea of minimalist grouping of objects that feels simple yet iconic. When a customer walks into our showroom and says, “I really want a modern look and feel, but I don’t want my home to appear like it’s from the future.” The key to creating a beautiful modern space does not mean we cannot incorporate color. We start with a sense calmness and simplicity.

We suggest avoiding mixing and matching prints and patterns. By fusing multiple textures, prints and patterns the design edges on eclectic and distracting at times. Bold geometric forms, soft neutral color schemes work best to achieve a modern look and feel. Accent colors are key to modern design, as you want to begin with a foundation color such as black, white blue, beige or even a bright primary color. Once a foundation is chosen, accent colors give the space a touch of personality and visual interest.

Balance is key as well. Add just the right amount of polish, incorporate small details and pair your personal style with modern aesthetics will help you to accomplish the perfect modern interior design for your home. Room layout is very important as well, since the first rule of this design style is function before form. Our team of talented interior designers will help you create an asymmetrical balance in furniture and layout.

By peppering modern aesthetics throughout your home the look and feel will instantly transform. Luxury furniture with clean lines and beautiful fabric that is also comfortable is key to creating a cozy look and feel that appeals to modern sensibilities.

And with the right utilization of space, it could be the best room! in your Scottsdale home.

Want to give the illusion of more space? Choose a focal point. Small rooms with limited light feel stuffy, but adding mirrors will do wonders.This is one of the easiest tricks in the book, and always makes a big impact. Not only will there be a main focus to the space but it gives dimension to walls that would otherwise appear flat. Place a mirror across from a window for maximum impact; using natural light always works to open up a space as well.

Take advantage of multifunctional furniture. Like the guests of a summer potluck, every piece of furniture should earn its keep. By this we mean that in a small room every piece could serve multiple purposes so your space doesn’t feel cluttered. Think of using ottomans as coffee tables or even extra seating for your guests. Use floor throw pillows with a neutral summer pattern as a seating option as well as decoration; by doing this you could turn your space into a chic and modern lounging space to catch up with friends and family.

Lighting is a crucial essential to any room, but in your master bed, you want to exude a charming warmth that will separate it from all other rooms.

It’s time to start entertaining for the summer! How are you going to keep your favorite mojito concoction cool during the summer though? We have the perfect solution. More and more homeowners are choosing to keep the drinks on the go with bar carts, while others opt for an at home bar. Whichever avenue you choose to implement, we have design ideas for both.

Bring the party with you

Bar carts are dimensional, useful and come in all types of styles. Go rustic with distressed wood or classic with warm metal and brush nickel finish. Make it easy to take the party anywhere with a wheeled bar cart so your guests don’t have to get up for their next drink. We’ll help you find the perfect bar cart for your needs whether it’s added storage or a fancier look and feel, La Maison Interiors is here to help you find the perfect piece for your next cocktail party.

Bar carts remind us of Old Hollywood, where simple sophistication and gold rimmed martini glasses touch the lips of men and women who don’t have a care in the world.

La Maison Interiors hosts a collection of pieces from regional artisans to nationally acclaimed designers.

Stay at Home For the Party

If a bar cart is not your style, create a space to entertain during the warmer months, sheltered from the sunshine. Get creative with negative space by utilizing pieces of furniture that might not necessarily be a “bar” in the traditional sense. Using various luxury furniture pieces to create a bar area is a great alternative for those who love to entertain. That being said, let’s look at some best ways to create your preferred ambiance that speaks to your personal style.

Staying at home to enjoy a well-made cocktail starts with a fabulous home bar design. Picking a design that works for you is key to pinpointing your needs. If you want to embody a sophisticated look and feel ambient or recessed lighting is the way to go. Add architectural features like stone, warm wood or marble to add texture. Do you consider yourself a connoisseur or wine and spirits? Display your favorites behind the bar to give guests a look into what you will be serving.

We all tend to live busy lifestyles with hardly any time for leisure, but with an at home bar makes it easy to enjoy a cocktail at home. Home bars offer a unique solution to the active lifestyles we live. Create the perfect home bar with the right lighting, seating setup and entertainment area by starting with your ‘must-haves’. Barstools work best for an open, airy and casual setup while leather high chairs offer a more sophisticated look. Lighting is key to creating the desired ambiance of your choice. Going more formal? Choose recessed lighting. Is modern and modular more your style? Pendant lighting with a chrome or simple white finish might just be what you’re looking for.

However you choose to entertain this summer, remember La Maison Interiors has the perfect piece for your home.

Luxurious Master Bedroom Updates

The most important room in the home is the bedroom. Decorating the master bedroom to fit your personal style is a must. We spend more time relaxing in the master bedroom than any other room in the home. Adding comfortable pillows, plush fabrics and a luxurious headboard will instantly change your space for the better. Color is key too! Don’t go too bold with jewel tones, rather stick to softer hues that fit both a masculine and feminine feeling. Creating the perfect master bedroom is easy to do over the weekend, and we’ll show you how to do it.

We love to begin with color. Choose a palette that fits your personal style, and keep in mind the size and shape of your master bedroom. Larger spaces tend to feel airy and open, and using cooler colors can make the space feel less intimate and cozy. Do you want the space to feel more modern and clean or cozy and comfortable? Warmer colors tend to feel more feminine, yet also exude a romantic mood. Take advantage of various shades of grey for a soothing contemporary aesthetic. Using the right grey, whether it has warm or cool undertones is always a good choice for a master bedroom as it lends to both masculine and feminine aesthetics.

Another easy way to incorporate color without repainting the walls is with a luxury area rug. Also, the human eye groups luxury furniture together when it sits atop an area rug. If you have a larger master bedroom, and want to add visual interest to your space create a cozy look and feel with a separate sitting area. When relaxation is on your mind, but going to bed is not a reading chair is a perfect segway. Make sure to shop for a luxurious ottoman to rest your feet on that is both soft and comfortable. Make sure to purchase the right sized rug for the space, b by taking measurements to better understand the dimensions of your space. Interior design rules say furniture should sit on the perimeter of the rug to make the space feel larger.

At La Maison Interiors, our collection of headboards range from classic traditional to modern and contemporary. Incorporating a headboard into the master bedroom adds height to the space, and also gives an extra touch of design.

Interior Design Ideas: The Powder Room

bathroom

Even the smallest room in your home deserves updating every now and then. Our team of interior designers have simple tips to follow to make your powder room look and feel larger instantly. Color is your best friend, and using it to your advantage will have a big impact on even a small space. The powder room is likely the smallest space in your home, besides a closet or storage space. The difference is guests and family members actively use this space. Ideally, enjoying the ambiance of a powder room sets the tone for the remainder of your home. This is a perfect opportunity to take a chance with design. We suggest a bold and daring shade such as deep blue or purple. We say, take a leap of faith with a color palette and you won’t regret it. There are many ways to tone down a rich bold shade with the right accessories.

Forget old and tired sand, beige and off-white for color and opt for something a little more drastic. Bold hues like navy, chocolate brown, rich maroon and even black works wonderfully. The reason these darker hues work is because small spaces offer something larger spaces do not, which is creative freedom. Too much of a bold color can be overwhelming and often makes a space feel smaller. As any interior designer would say, the key to a perfect space is lighting. Add the right fixtures and the entire space will change instantly.

Ideally, you want to add visual interest in a small way to the powder room. Replacing the bathroom countertop in a unique material such as refinished concrete or imported granite with accent flecks to compliment a color palette changes a space for the better. Tile backsplash as an art related project rather than a functional addition can be very successful. Updated fixtures that fit your personal style add ambiance to a powder room. Pendant lighting or a simple yet modern chandelier will give the space some height as well. If there is a small window in the powder room use it to your advantage and shop luxury fabrics at La Maison! Our collection of fabrics range from modern, geometric and modular to floral and fabulous.

Pick your favorite piece of art that is both intriguing and colorful! One or two pieces of art makes the space feel hospitable and welcoming. Choose a mirror you love! It should reflect your personal style and the look and feel of the space. We love mirrors that have embellishments or utilize a beautiful finish for extra sparkle. Offer your best soaps and luxurious hand towels. Since powder rooms are mainly used by guests it’s important to add personal touches that make guests feel as if they’ve stepped into a hotel bathroom. Gold, brass and brushed nickel appear soft and welcoming while also adding warmth to the space. Soft and plush bath rugs give the appearance of luxury while also maintaining the color palette of your choice. Whether you’re ready to completely remodel the powder room, or upgrade the color scheme, La Maison Interiors in Scottsdale is here to guide you on your journey to a stylish powder room

Simple & Stylish: Infuse Modern Interior Design

Give your home the perfect touch of modern interior design with a touch of drama with geometric patterns prints, accessories and luxury decor. Modular shapes, polygons and circles are classic and contemporary and appeal to a modern sense of design. There are so many avenues to walk when it comes to modern and modular design; wallpaper one wall in the kitchen for a stylish accent wall, replace tableware and decor accessories in bright vibrant hues in the entryway or opt for chevron and vertical stripes, triangles or small pyramids as a wall design. Our team is here to help you blend your home’s design with the right accents pieces to turn your space into a modular masterpiece.

When it comes to the kitchen, opt for a more dramatic effect with your backsplash! Use triangles, vertical stripes or horizontal tiles with an eye catching color palette to infuse shapes without going overboard. The best way add a dramatic effect is with bright colors. Don’t shy away from primary colors in the kitchen as it adds a cheerful aesthetic to a larger space. Especially if your kitchen is mainly white this is a perfect way to create a modular masterpiece. Include draperies that have ovals or or circles for a sophisticated inviting look and feel.

We suggest gorgeous table and luxury decor accessories for the living room or home office. The hard edges of polygonal shapes suggest focus and hard work to keep you engaged despite being in the comfort of your own home. Bright colors add drama and grab guests attention in the family room; avoid muted or pastel as they appear flat rather than vibrant . Adding a centerpiece that uses forms from nature such as leaves, trees and organic lines appear softer to the eye. Adding a touch of drama to your coffee table is a perfect way to draw the eye into the center of the room. Choose a statement piece; when pairing items together ensure you arrange accessories in odd numbered groups to achieve a perfect balance. Organic forms and patterns are unique and eye catching to blend simplicity with versatility.
Mixing polygonal shapes in the family room to arouse a stylish and contemporary feel that’s welcoming and warm. Small instances of bright primary colors can appear overly modern and might not work in everyone’s space. Make sure pieces make a statement so not to get lost in the space. However you choose to infuse brilliant modular shapes in your home, La Maison Interiors is here for you! Located in Scottsdale AZ we’re the largest provider of modern furniture for your luxury home.
