Modern furniture tends to follow one of two main trends: minimalist or retro. Minimalist furniture suits smaller spaces such as city studio apartments and is characterised by crisp lines and edges, smooth and shiny surfaces, as well as solid colours, either black, white or even the current trend of bold colours. Because of the sharp lines and corners, however, this style of furnishing isn’t recommended for anyone with children, as you don’t want them running into one of your modern coffee tables and doing themselves an injury. Retro furniture with a modern twist is also ‘de rigueur’. In contrast to the minimalist look, retro styles have curved, flowing lines and are often made from plastic in bright colours or patterns.

While minimalist furniture is great for a tidier and less cluttered feeling home, it can sometimes appear cold or bare without the right touches. There is no reason, however, why your white coffee table has to remain completely empty. Choose one with drawers to hold your clutter, and brighten up the surface with just a few tasteful objets d’art. Adding a couple of framed photographs is also a great way to make your space feel more homely and a thick rug in warm colours can really change the appearance of a room.

At PandonHome you will be able to find beautiful contemporary furniture in both minimalist and retro styles for every room in your home. All our designer furniture is of the best quality, as we only work with the best manufacturers.

If you are thinking of redesigning your home but can’t afford to do it all in one go, start with the room that you spend the most time in. For many this will be the living room, but for some it will be the bedroom. Ideally, the best thing to do is to start with a clean slate. Decide on the colours for the walls and flooring if you are changing these. Plain coloured walls with perhaps one ‘statement’ wall are usual to go with contemporary bedroom furniture or a modern living room style. After all, there is little point in investing in some beautiful contemporary furniture pieces to go in a dull or chintzy wall-papered room.

A modern living room tends to feature high gloss furniture and a leather sofa. Like the walls, there are also a lot of plain block colours used. The key is to add some decorative touches to your room with fabrics and ornaments. Not too many, mind, or your room will start to look untidy – plus there’s more to clean! Stick to one colour scheme too for a really modern feel. Contrasting colours are great such as black and pink or purple, and white and turquoise and will create a beautifully crisp and clean atmosphere. Having cleared the room of all its stuff while you decorate, you are also in a great position to have a good sort through and get rid of anything that’s no longer needed or won’t go with your beautifully decorated new room.

Many people have already redesigned all or some of the rooms in their home with designer furniture and contemporarily decorated walls and floors. However, one aspect of your home which may well have been neglected in this area is the garden. Do you still have an old-fashioned set of plastic chairs growing mould in a corner? If the answer’s yes, then it’s time for a redesign!

The first thing to do if you’re considering buying some modern garden furniture is to evaluate your needs. Think about what you will use your furniture for. If you have a patio or decking area and like to dine outside on warm summer evenings then go for full size outdoor tables and chairs. However, if you just like to relax with a book or a few drinks with friends, then go for a more relaxed seating area and outdoor coffee table. Do you need four or more chairs, or will two do?

Although your old plastic furniture was weather-resistant, it was also cheap and looked it. Our outdoor furniture remains durable while being stylish at the same time and can be easily cleaned and left outside. Modern outdoor furniture styles tend to include curves and rounded shapes, as well as warm neutral colours to blend in with the natural surroundings. If you have some furniture that looks attractive and that you will want to actually sit on then you will be more likely to use it, and that is the point of it after all!

One of the things we love about modern interior design is the ingenuity on offer when it comes to making a bold statement through furniture. Our expert design teams and buyers are perpetually alert and on the hunt for the very latest in modern living.

In the Bedroom
Our ranges of modern bedroom furniture are truly outspoken in terms of cutting edge chic and practicality. Today’s featured statement bed is the “Upholstered Padded Bed”; unusual design, clean lines, modern style and luxury comfort in one. A bed design of such magnitude could be expected to only suit highly tailored decor, but client feedback has shown this bed fitting perfectly into some unusual statement bedrooms, including Egyptian, Roman and Future Industrial inspired rooms.

In the Living Room
Coffee tables and contemporary side tables are a dream come true for designers who love to make a statement without breaking the bank. Our stunning range of designer coffee tables includes swivel top tables, concealed draws, clever balancing acts and ingenious designs. Our designer choice of the day is the 60’s-inspired “Cutout Round Coffee Table”

In the Garden
Garden furniture can offer the most wonderful design innovation opportunities for furniture designers.  Our design du jour is the rattan “Chaise”; clever, classic material with a modern twist (literally!)

Making a statement with your furniture is all about choosing the pieces that speak to you and fit with your personal style. Like cars and wedding dresses; when you see something perfect, you just have to have it!

The living is one of the most important interior areas within the home, and is a place where we spend a lot of time, so it makes sense that we make it extremely welcoming and inviting.

One of the freshest living room furniture styles on the market is the leather corner sofas because they can become the focal point of room as well as looking exceptionally fashionable.

If you’ve purchased your dream home, you’ll want your furniture to reflect how proud you are of it. Designer furniture can bring an unbeatable style and contemporary feel into your home, offering a stunning yet functional living space. Here’s how to can add the contemporary elegance of designer furniture into various rooms of your home.

•    Kitchen
Designer furniture lends itself perfectly to kitchens. The sleek clean lines look stylish, yet are also extremely practical in one of the most used rooms of the house. Clean and modern tempered glass surfaces and tiled walls exemplify the modern designer look perfectly. Finish the look with some modern halogen light fittings.

•    Bedroom
Modern bedroom furniture can make a room that is often cluttered and untidy look clean and stylish. Wooden or leather beds match designer style with comfort, and dark wooden bedside tables and wardrobes give your storage solutions a touch of panache. Adding some decorative metal art to the walls finishes the look perfectly.

•    Living Room
In most living spaces, the sofa is the focal point of the room. Choosing a designer sofa will make that focal point something to behold. Matching a brightly coloured leather sofa with a white coffee table achieves the modern look perfectly. Adding other piece in stained wood, chrome, stainless steel and glass will also enhance your designer furniture. When adding designer pieces to your living room, keep décor neutral and minimal so the pieces of furniture speak for themselves.

If you have purchased a new home, or simply fancy a change in your current one, there are many design options you could choose from. But if you want your home to look sleek, stylish and timeless, then you should consider contemporary furniture. Contemporary, high gloss furniture lends itself perfectly to clean lines and a clutter free environment. Not only can contemporary furniture make your home look extremely stylish, it can also free up space that you never knew you had.

When you are considering contemporary furniture for your home, you should start by thinking about the size of the pieces of furniture in relation to the size of the room. This is particular important with contemporary furniture as these stunning pieces can often be turned into the artistic focal point of a room. Contemporary furniture should enhance your living space, rather than detract from it.

When you furnish your home in a contemporary style, you should also spend some time thinking about how your room should be decorated. If you’re furniture is eye-catching and brightly coloured, consider painting the walls in a neutral colour so as not to take attention away from the statement pieces. Mirrored, glass or stone accessories also look great paired with contemporary furniture. Lighting should be used to show off your new furniture perfectly.

The contemporary look can even extend to outside of your home. Contemporary garden furniture can bring the same modern style and clean lines to your outside space.
