If you enjoy modern home décor, yet you like to keep inline with the new styles of the moment, then you are following the contemporary style. The main tip about contemporary interior design is being simple yet sophisticated and comfortable without being cluttered or using lots of dark colours.
Here are some basic rules to achieve the look of a contemporary home:
Colours: Neutral colours, black, and white are the main colors in contemporary style interiors. Neutral wall painting is favoured, so it gives a wonderful background for bold coloured furniture and accessories.
Furniture: Furniture should be bold but at the same time simple and uncluttered, without curves or decoration.
Floor: Use wood, tile, or vinyl on the floors. If you must use carpets for warmth, add color and texture with plain or geometric-patterned area rugs.
Lines: Straight lines characterize contemporary home décor whether vertical or horizontal.
Lighting: Cove lighting or indirect light that include color and metallic elements on the light fixtures, or the use spotlights is all of contemporary style.
