In these modern times, contemporary styles have affected almost every aspect of our life and it’s valid for the architectures, constructions and home interiors as well. Decorating or designing home interiors in contemporary style doesn’t always have to be minimalist; instead, it can be incorporated with other styles to bring harmony and to make it even more appealing.

Did you ever feel that contemporary and modern designs are the same? If yes, then you must indeed go through this article to find out the differences.

Primarily, a contemporary house interior is defined by the use of simple textures, neutral colours, sharp angles and lines, and edged shapes. This design showcases space more than things. Contemporary designs mainly focus on the use of latest technology in construction and designing. If you are someone who follows the trend, then this style might be just right for you.

Contemporary house designs first gained popularity in the mid to late 1900s, and after that, they gained more popularity with time. Contemporary designs will always be following innovations and new ideas, which in turn will give you a sense of freshness. It’s characterised by a break of traditional norms, new concepts and modern age thinking.

There are professional interior designs companies that can help you to achieve this style of interiors but for now here are some essential home interior ideas with which you can have a contemporary style home.

COLOURS

Contemporary interior designs go for neutral colours such as black, brown, grey, and white. These colours are used on walls, floors, accents or wherever it best suits. Neutral colours are often paired with bright and bold colours to play against neutral shades and to break the monotony. Using this type of colour scheme makes you feel organised and clean, creating a serene atmosphere. The black colour is often used for floors with bright accents. Therefore, we can say it’s all about mixing and matching dark and bright colours to evoke harmony. A great tip from our design professionals is to try a monochromatic colour scheme using dark and light tones of the same colour.

FLOORING AND ROOFING

Do you want to walk in and around your home like a royal person? Then it’s time to build your floors and ceilings with a contemporary touch. Floors are mostly kept bare and smooth. Marble, hardwood, tiles, or wooden flooring is an excellent choice for contemporary style. You can also use commercial grade carpets or rugs for warmth and control. Floors are often well polished. Roofs are primarily flat, but gabled roofs also work fine. Try to maintain a sleek look though.

DESIGN ELEMENTS

There are design elements that can add a contemporary touch to your space. Track lighting, recessed lighting or cove lighting are lighting equipment that you can add in place of traditional light bulbs and tube lights. Consider using spotlights or lighting directed to a photo frame or a wall painting to attract attention towards the pieces you want others to focus. Small collections of framed art, sculptures, minimal flower pots, abstract paintings are some of the elements that you can include in your home to create focal points. Textured fabrics for curtains, cushions, etc. can add value to the rooms, although colourful fussy prints should be avoided.

FURNITURE

Furniture can make bold statements but at the same time should be simple, sleek and elegant. Clean geometric shapes are appreciated, such as a perfect square pillow. Don’t go for furniture with excessive carved details, fringe or floral prints. The material of the furniture depends on your preferences; however, wooden furniture is more appealing. Well, a mantra to remember here is, “less is always more”.

TALL AND BIG WINDOWS

This one thing is the most beautiful, attractive and different concept of the contemporary style. Big and tall windows are those features that differentiate the contemporary style home from others. Have you seen large glass walls in Hollywood movies and then thought of having it for yourself? Then this is the perfect style to incorporate that. Large windows often are seen taking up the space of the whole wall. Geometrically shaped windows or bare windows can also provide you with much-required light and air along with maintaining its aesthetic value.

Contemporary designs are dynamic, and it offers a great deal of innovation and freedom to you. Learning to use the available space creatively is the core idea of this style.
