CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary style is light, bright and airy. This style emphasizes clean lines, tactile fabrics and an uncluttered appearance. Contemporary style emphasizes informality, practicality and is easy-going.
Today's contemporary home isn't a minimalist nightmare. Reducing clutter plays a role in the harmony of this decorating style, but it isn't taken to any extreme. A standard contemporary palette will include white walls, fresh colors, natural woods and sensual textiles. A contemporary home is a comfortable, pleasurable retreat.
There are few absolute rules to a contemporary look. A high tech-style may comprise colored plastics, stainless steel and inflatable furniture. Another contemporary approach might include natural wood, stone, coir and fleece. The fundamentals of this style include simplicity, subtle sophistication, a focus on texture and pared-down furnishings that emphasize space.
