About - ModernousMain

Modernous (MOD·ern·us) is an interior design boutique that works with clients to create beautiful, livable, modern spaces. We specialize in modern design of all eras, including mid-century modern. We love to integrate a variety of modern ideals into a cohesive design, since the essence of a modern design is constant.

In a historic midcentury home, we aim to honor and preserve the original intention of an architect while taking advantage of technology innovations of the last 60 years. Our goal is to create a timeless, comfortable, and functional modern space that suits our clients.

While the end result has to be smashing, we believe enjoying the process is important. We are passionate, reliable and professional and will help guide clients throughout the process for maximum fun and minimal stress.

We have a physical presence in Seattle and Palm Springs, but through the magic of technology, we've worked on projects all over the US.

Whether your tastes are pure mid-century modern, industrial, minimalist, brutalist, warm, organic or eclectic, Modernous can design the room or house of your dreams.
