What are Characteristics of a Contemporary Design Style?

With contemporary design, it’s important to stick the basics; fundamental, simplistic, subtle sophistication, texture and clean lines define contemporary design when it comes to decorating with the focus being spacious living, minimal accessories, color, and shapes that are sleek and fresh.
Paint Color: Neutralize are the choices; black and white being the primary contemporary style. Bold and bright colors can accent the room when white or other neutrals are used. For example, painting the walls a neutral color can give you an excellent backdrop for a few bold accessories. If you opt for pastel walls, than be sure trim and décor are neutral in color.
Interior Design Line: With contemporary style, less is more; the bare space on the walls and in between furnishings is just as important as the pieces themselves. Each piece should be unique and standout, but serve a practical function. High ceilings, bare windows and floors, as well as geometric shapes for structure and art are components of contemporary design lines. Broken bricks provide texture and stability; exposed air ducts hanging from the ceiling as well as other utility pipes are structure elements you can take advantage of to impose the contemporary style. Blending them with existing walls can make them a subtle additive, or even painting them a bold contrasting color can exploit the practical accessory to the building.
Contemporary Furniture: Upholstery should be natural fabrics; wool, cotton, linen, silk, jute, coupled with texture and neutral colors get you started; and the basic engineering should be smooth, clean, geometric shapes. Just like the walls, furniture needs to be simple, uncluttered, and void of accessories and curves. Don’t embellish with bed skirts, trim, fringes, or tassels. However, you can use sparingly a pillow to add a shot of color to the neutral base.
Flooring: Floor is bare and smooth; hardwood floors, tile, or vinyl is typical. If rugs are needed, use sparingly with basic or geometric patterns. Carpets can be used but keep it in simple and neutral colors.
