Colorful indoor-outdoor modern home by Modernous

Modernous Interior Design

Architecture respected.
Personality amplified.

Interior design for people who love architecture, color, and a home that feels unmistakably theirs.

The Modernous approach

A signature home, not a signature look.

We begin with the architecture, the people, and the way the home needs to work. Then we build a clear point of view through space, material, light, color, furniture, art, and objects.

The result can be quiet or exuberant, historic or new, Seattle or desert. What connects the work is disciplined thinking, candid guidance, and enough room for delight.

Ways to work together

Choose the depth the home needs.

Every engagement has a clear creative lead and a defined route from decisions to execution.

  • Art, textiles, accessories, and objects
  • Home styling and photo styling
