Modern or “Contemporary” home designs focus on simplification and elimination of undue ornamentation—facilitating functional, clutter-free living. These homes have open floor plans, odd or irregular shapes, flat roofs (often with multiple roof levels), minimal architectural touches, and oversized (often very tall) windows to welcome natural light. Contemporary wood doors are made with both stile and rail and flush construction. Modern wood doors and mouldings normally have simple, clean lines.
