Contemporary style of interior décor refers to décor style
that is developed in latter half of 20th century. It is
characterized by its simplicity, texture and clean lines. Here the importance
is given to space rather than things. Use furniture and accessories to make a
bold statement.
While decorating a
house in contemporary style, one needs to pay attention to four aspects- color,
furniture, lighting and fabric.
Color:
Contemporary style relies heavily on neutral colors like cream, white, brown
etc. If the walls are painted in neutral color, then go in for bold colored
accessories. On the other hand if it is painted in bold color, better go for
neutral colored accessories.
Furniture:
Contemporary style furniture is made of light colored wood and features clean
lines and smooth surfaces without any carvings or embellishments. Frosted or
clear glass furniture also falls under the contemporary style. Furniture should
be minimum and more importance should be given to space.
Lighting: Floor
lamps and table lamps with metallic finish and straight lines are used in
contemporary style of décor. Color
can be provided in the form of shades. Spot lights are used to project art work
or wall décor.
Fabrics:
Furniture is upholstered in silk, cotton, jute or wool. Neutral colors like black,
cream or white furniture are common.
If at all bold colors and geometric shapes need to be incorporated, the same
can be done in pillows or throws.
“Less is More”
is the motto of contemporary style of décor. Try to bring in more space by
using bold and big designs and patterns. Do away with cute and small stuffs.
