Make your home a modern masterpiece

When designing your own modern home there are ten top tips to remember, according to Homebuilding & Renovating magazine.

First of all is fitting a statement staircase such as one made of lightweight steel or glass balustrades. This can add to the interior of your home especially when combined with raised walkways and curved gallery landings.

Cladding should be bold, according to the magazine, so use modern materials and techniques such as oak boards or metal sheet to provide an interested and uncluttered exterior look.

Lots of glass, hiding gutters, having a roof garden and an open plan layout all add a contemporary feel to a home. Your lighting scheme should also be well designed so it can provide a variety of moods and effects.

A beautiful bathroom, entrance hall and a good roof can stream sunlight into your home and add to its modern look and feel.
