Interior designers remind us to keep in mind our home's original architecture and try to stay true to our home's roots. Keeping the balance between traditional and modern home decorating is an art that could always use some fine-tuning. There are countless ways to modernize a traditional home. We've listed a few ideas below.

Hang contemporary art - Seek out artwork with colors that complement that existing furnishings.

Stack your books - By stacking up books, you can easily give any room an updated and fresh outlook. Create multiple stacks of books with several inches of space in between them, to get a super modern look. Try a mix of vertically and horizontally arranged books.
