Modernism started in the late 19th<\/sup> century, reaching its height during the 1930s where after it slowly declined with movements like Post-Modernism taking shape. However, a stream of modernism continues today. Especially in architecture, modern design elements form the basis of many contemporary homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking interior design style quizzes<\/a><\/span> like this one or providing inspiration photos can help designers really pinpoint the client\u2019s aesthetics because sometimes a personal style has no name!<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cForm follows function\u201d is one of the most important principles that govern modernist designs. The need to simplify forms originated from the rapidly growing cities that required an alternative to traditional construction. A fuss-free approach incorporated new materials like reinforced concrete and steel for building structures. As a result, houses could have large windows, flat roofs and could be cubic or even cylindrical. The use of new materials meant that the height of structures could reach far beyond any before. Other movements like De Stijl, Futurism, or Bauhaus interior design<\/a> and art also form part of Modernism, adding depth to the style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is certainly easy to confuse contemporary design<\/a> and modern home interior design. One of the main differences between contemporary and modern design is the age above all else. Contemporary design refers to what is currently new and innovative while modern design refers to a specific era in design history. Presently, architects and interior designers alike use modern elements in contemporary design. This is similar to a modernist revival, but mustn\u2019t be confused with the mother modern movement of the 19th<\/sup> century. Contemporary interiors are a blend of styles past with a healthy dose of technological advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n
