The looks
What modern actually covers
Solid and tonal
A single colour with texture doing the work. The quietest option and the hardest to get right — cheap versions look flat.
Abrash and striated
Bands of shifting colour across the field. Reads as depth rather than pattern, and hides traffic better than a plain field.
Abstract and painterly
Loose, non-repeating designs. A focal point in its own right, so the rest of the room should be calm.
Geometric
Grids, blocks and linear repeats. Works well in rooms with strong architecture.
Contemporary reworkings
Traditional layouts stripped back to their outlines. The overlap with transitional, and often the better buy.
