Line and space
The most obvious and distinctive element of a contempo- rary style interior design is line. It's found in architectural de- tails, use of bold colour blocks, high ceilings, bare windows, and geometric shapes in wall art and sculpture. The bare space, on walls, between pieces of furniture, and above in upper areas, becomes as important as the areas filled with objects. In con- temporary interiors, less is more. Each piece stands out as indi- vidual and unique. Take advantage of structural elements. Air ducts may hang from a ceiling, broken bricks provide texture and stability, and exposed plumbing pipes are perfectly accept- able in a contemporary style interior. To draw the eye, paint
these structural details in bold contrasting colours, or to dimin- ish their importance, blend them with the walls.
Contemporary Style Furniture
Smooth, clean, geometric shapes are essential for contem- porary style furniture pieces. Upholstered furniture often wears black, white, or other neutral tones in textured natural fibres. Cover it in a neutral, black, or bold fabric. Fabrics often have a natural look found in wool, cotton, linen, silk, jute, and add tex- tural appeal. Furniture pieces should be simple and uncluttered, without curves or decoration. Sofas, chairs, and ottomans have exposed legs. Beds and chairs usually have no skirt, trim, fringe, or tassels.
Keep in Mind
Use furniture and accessories to make a bold statement in contemporary style interior. Use a basic background and shout out with your favourite colour on a piece that will stand out.
Less is more! In a contemporary style interior, don't use ruffles, excessive carved details, fringe, or floral prints. Abolish cute and small. Go basic, bare, bold, and structural.
Floors in a contemporary style home should be bare and smooth in wood, tile, or vinyl. If you must use carpet for sound control or warmth, choose commercial grades. Add colour and texture with plain or geometric-patterned area rugs.
