Thoroughly Modern Masterpieces
It takes a killer eye to make a modern home shine: Too much midcentury or minimalism and your living room feels like a museum; not enough and the look just doesn’t gel. That’s why we love these readers’ house tours—they each put their own spin on modern decor, and the results are contemporary houses that still feel like homes.
