A Guide to Contemporary Interiors
Choose Bold Accent Colours
Neutrals, black and white are often the main colours when it comes to modern home design. Black is frequently used for defining a contemporary space.
Modern interior colour palettes are often accented with bright, bold and punchy accent colours that play against the neutral tones in the home. If the main body of your home is neutral, you then have a great space to add bold colours to. However, if you’ve gone for a bold accent wall, it’s always best to keep the furniture and additional accessories neutral to avoid the space looking cluttered.
Declutter
Less is always more when it comes to modern homes. The space around your furniture is just as important as the furniture itself. Opt for simple, attractive storage units to keep clutter at bay.
Make Use of Glass
Glass is a material that emanates exclusivity and prestige, instantly making a space look more modern and contemporary. Additionally, glass will let light through, automatically enhancing your space and making it look bigger.
Furniture Choices
Furniture should make a statement, whilst being simple and uncluttered. Think smooth, clean, geometric shapes. Accessorise furniture with throws and pillows in a bold contrasting colour.
Lighting Considerations
Why not consider installing cove or indirect lighting. Spotlighting directed at a wall art will help to draw the eye to the statement pieces in the home.
