Ideas on how to add Contemporary style to your interior.
Not to be confused with other modern design styles, contemporary interiors are entirely of the moment, whereas modern can refer to anything forward-thinking from the last several decades—Midcentury Modern or Modern Farmhouse, for example.
The key elements of contemporary design can be boiled down to simplicity, clean lines, subtle sophistication, and deliberate use of texture. It seamlessly blends classic, timeless elements with very current, modern pieces. It's also a naturally minimal style that should never feel fussy, stuffy, or dated. Most contemporary spaces will stick to an overall black, white, and neutral color palette, occasionally using bold accent colors to create a strong contrast. There is also a distinctive presence of strong visual lines, be it straight or curved.
