3) You love modern furniture but don't want the hard lines to seem cold. Straight squared pieces are best balanced by rounded or curved accent pieces. An example is a sleek modern sofa, which pairs with a round cocktail table that mellows the lines. Glass in the table will make it more modern, whereas wood will warm and soften.
