When it comes to interior design styles, the term “contemporary” is unique in that it’s constantly evolving. While styles like mid-century modern and traditional stay largely the same year after year, contemporary is always changing because – by definition – it means what is going on right now. However the now is always changing, isn’t it? So what do the interiors of contemporary homes look like these days? For starters, picture an open floor plan then add floor-to-ceiling windows.
Now, envision the surfaces covered with light-toned wood paneling and – where there isn’t wood – white walls. Add in black accents such as metal light fixtures, painted hand railings and black and white artwork. In a more daring contemporary home, there may even be a sculpture made of stone, metal or even an art installation made of fabric.To sum up – today’s contemporary homes are open, airy, modern and minimalistic.
