There are many types of modern décor available for people who want to decorate their home in a contemporary way.  There is modern, ultra modern, post modern, Neo Classical modern, retro modern design and more.  The one thing each of these modern styles has in common with the others is the fact that all types of modern décor have roots in the past.   

Platform beds have their roots in the enclosed bed of yesteryear that were used to give sleeping people privacy and keep them warm.  The only difference is the walled sides have been removed.  You will find many sleek glass tables with table bases reminiscent of sculpture of yesteryear or curved wood legs.   

Another example of Modern wall  décor with traditional influence is this Tesino Scarf Dance Contemporary 3 pc Metal Wall Hanging.  At first glance, it is a truly modern piece made from different types of metal in finishes of silver, rust, and a “root beer” color.  If you look at it more closely, you will see that it pays homage to a Henri Matisse French painting from 1954 called La Dance.  This derivative of the classic art piece has three dancers instead of the original five, and it uses a scarf theme to add fluidity in the painting.  Anyone who likes modern or more traditional art would feel comfortable with this set hanging on his or her walls.   

The Tesino Scarf Dance Contemporary art piece weighs 20 pounds and is 42” X 54” in side (combined).  It has a one-year warranty and hardware for hanging the art is included.
