Modern Monday: 4 hot modern interior design trends for 2015 (all seen in 5330 Drane Drive) {Video}

02/23/2015

Photos / Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty

Step into 5330 Drane Drive, a sophisticated contemporary with incredible flow, walls of glass overlooking the grounds and abundant natural light. While this home offers all the best in luxury modern living, there are a few features that really make it stand out. Here are our top four favorite modern trends of 2015 seen in this home:

1: Bold Wallpaper

Chic, vibrant or textured wallpaper is a must for 2015. This room’s wallpaper in bright aqua marine comes from luxe wallpaper designer China Seas-quadrille and beautifully displays everything we love about a great printed wall.




2: Indoor-Outdoor Living

If there’s one thing we Texans love, it’s enjoying the great outdoors. With DFW temperatures friendly for swimming or lounging in the cool of the evening, outdoor spaces are one of 2015’s hottest modern interior design trends. It’s no wonder, then, why we love this home—complete with an entire outdoor paradise including multiple entrances to the great outdoors throughout the residence. Grab a chilled cocktail and enjoy the spectacular Dallas sunsets from your own private cabana or take a dip in the pool. A luxe guest house rests just beside this landscaped space, and includes its own living area and kitchen.







3: Outdoor Showers

Perhaps one of the most unusual features of this home–and equally one of the biggest trends for modern interiors in 2015–is its outdoor shower. Creating a space that’s private, functional and beautiful for bathing is no small feat. Yet this ingenious outdoor shower masterfully does all three. Stand on soft stone slabs in a small bamboo garden enclave while steamy water falls from this uniquely designed modern shower feature. The pebbled shower post gives wonderful texture and finishes off the Oriental mood perfectly.


4: Vibrant Color

Bright and bold colored walls are still winning over homeowners in 2015. See how this beautiful kid’s room uses kelly green to create a modern yet fun space for homework, reading or staying up late with friends. Or try a head-rush red to draw the eye to a modern staircase.










Too timid to paint your walls in a bold hue? Try this trick. Use a subtle neutral and pair it with a splash of color:
