Modern design is responsible for minimalist and plain interiors. However, if you feel like following a different path, do not be scared to go the complete opposite direction. Fill your house with patterns! If you are open to the idea, you can go beyond the normal by not delegating patterns to only your curtains, sheets, or accessories. How about your floor or your ceiling? How about that ugly radiator in the corner? There are many parts of your house that can use a little improvement by simply painting it with patterns.

Steampunk is a movement in design that is focused on fusing Victorian style with modern sensibilities. This is no longer just used in designing individual pieces, such as computers and telephones. Steampunk is now also executed in home design. A steampunk home will have brass and metal finishes that are designed according to Victorian patterns. It will have accessories that are modern in function but quite antiquated in style. It will make you feel that you have entered the set of the movie, The Golden Compass. What do you think about living in a steampunk house?
