The contemporary style has its origins in the Bauhaus movement of the 1920s and is balanced, orderly and sophisticated. Enhance the interior with a spacious, open and bright space thanks to the size and number of windows in the wall or roof.
The elements that characterize contemporary decor are:
What is contemporary style?
The contemporary style is based on the principles of functionality, ergonomics and durability. A modern style with a simple chic side can sometimes look a little cool.
Modern rooms are mostly spacious and bright, dominated by neutral colors such as white and gray. I try not to add too much furniture and accessories to keep the look of space and grandeur.
The furniture
The main materials are stone, concrete and glass, but also wood and plastic. Metal is also very present in modern styles, stainless steel, aluminum or chrome. The floors are made of concrete or wood.
Geometric and rectangular shapes are very common in modern furniture. These are modest, the fabric is stretched and often have steel tubing to form the structure.
The furniture can be in lacquered wood, glass, plastic or metal. All furniture, regardless of its composition, is characterized by elegance and design.
Modern furniture includes modular sofas, ergonomic armchairs, floor lamps, coffee tables and glass vases.
For example, in a modern dining room you will often find only one table (made of glass, wood or plastic) with chairs in contrasting colors and materials.
Colors
We use more neutral colors like white, grey, beige, black and various tones. These are the underlying tones when it comes to wall colors.
Play with variations of the same color to give the space a monochromatic effect. You can also color them against each other to create contrast. B. White with black or bright red.
To add warmth to a modern interior, we recommend adding bright pops of color like bright red, lime green and turquoise.
Lights and Objects
Brightness and lighting are also essential for this style of interior. Thus, there are suspensions, spotlights on rails, lamps with original shapes and floor lamps. Larger windows with light curtains are recommended.
When it comes to accessories, we focus on artworks, paintings and sculptures. For a clean look, we've kept it stripped down, but you can opt for vases, throw pillows or a colorful rug.
