1. Simple lines — modern houses.

The houses very "loaded with unnecessary" ornaments have gone out of style, modern houses are characterized by having a "clean" design of simple lines, we could even consider them as minimalist, where less is more.

In interior design you can also use this concept, choose simple furniture and construction finishes with simple designs.

2. Open windows or grenadier, put glass blocks.

The old houses are characterized by having small windows, the openings occupy only the space necessary to enter the light, now the modern houses illuminate the interior with large windows or glass curtains, the use of glass blocks has been extended a lot to be used not only in bathrooms but also in kitchens and living rooms.

For these reasons, if you want to remodel your house and make it modern, do not forget to enlarge the openings and place an appropriate glass.

3. Combine neutral color paints with strong.

On the exterior walls of the house you can apply for example the gray or white color but choose a wall to paint it with a strong tone color such as an orange or even a strong green, these colors you must apply them to highlight only small areas of the facade.

This standard also applies to interior design, combining strong colored furniture and the entire environment such as neutral colored floors and walls, the effect is of a modern design.

4. Wood and stone in modern houses.

Do not think that wood and stone are only for old houses, at Construye Hogar we have seen the application of these two materials in modern houses, what makes the difference is the combination of these materials with the style of the house.

5. Integrate the room with your kitchen.

In the old houses these environments were separated by a wall, in the modern houses the living-dining room is integrated with the kitchen to give the sensation of ample spaces, in addition this type of design allows greater social interaction between the members of the family.

In the remodeling of your house also allow yourself to open other walls to integrate two spaces, architects recommend this in medium and small houses to give the feeling of spaciousness, a characteristic of modern houses.

6. On the facade of the house renews construction elements.

To turn your house into a contemporary one, you must change some elements on the facade, for example the roof, renew it for another one with a flat appearance and that has another color tone, if it has some frosty wall cloths it is time to give it a polish to leave them smooth, if possible in your budget put some new materials such as wood and stone.

7. Renew the equipment of the house.

If you have already managed to make some changes to your house making it more modern, you can not fail to renew important details such as artificial lighting, exterior spotlights are now almost always hidden or flush with the ceiling, handrails of stairs and railings of the balconies now they can only be simple horizontally placed slats, remove the old masts.

8. Modern house must have sophisticated elements.

Do not think that you are going to spend a lot of money making your house become technological, the elements such as video intercom or opening the doors to remote control have fallen substantially in price in recent years mainly the developing countries, so you must invest money in making your house more sophisticated clear signal of a house of these times.

Inside the house you can install hidden speakers in the room or even on the terrace for your relaxing days, preferably the heating / cooling systems of the house should be hidden and located in appropriate places.

9. Combine styles until you get what you like.

You can opt for an eclectic home that is to say that it combines the best of several styles, we have seen houses in classic and even rustic looks but due to some small changes a beautiful modern house is discovered.
