How to arrange an interior in the Modern Cave style? What exactly is this style? We present 5 things that are necessary when creating such an interior.
Modern Cave - this style began with the fascination of ancient houses hollowed out in the interiors of rocks. It directly refers to nature and our primal instincts, which make us associate the cave with shelter and safety. It is distinguished by furniture and decorations with rounded shapes, a neutral color palette and raw wood.

A solid base
Such a space can't lack a stone wall made for example, out of tiles. If you prefer a more subtle effect, opt for concrete-textured walls in white or gray. Such a raw and unfinished look will fit perfectly into the Modern Cave style. A concrete floor will also be a great idea.

Natural colors
The color base of a Modern Cave style arrangement is stone. Fortunately, here we have many of its varieties and colors to choose from. Mix together shades of white, beige, brown and black. However, avoid patterns. Alternatively, you can introduce prints that refer to a layer of broken stone or wood grain.

Intermingling of the elements
The interior in this style is filled with natural materials. Of course, the basis here is stone. However, such a space can be quite cold and unfriendly. Warm it up with wooden furniture, which will balance the stone base and add coziness.

Oblique forms
The modern cave is dominated by shapes that nature has created over the years. Any rounded and streamlined forms resembling pebbles collected on the beach will be ideal.

Less is more
Accessories in a Modern Cave style interior must be subtle and minimalist. You can spread stones and crystals, such as amethyst or rock crystal, on the shelf. Ceramics will also work great.
