Contemporary style is sometimes mistakenly
referred to as modern design, this fluid
interior design trend has consistently evolved
since the 1970s and continues to pull from other
styles, like modern, minimalist, bohemian, and
rustic for design inspiration.

• Though, contemporary interior designing does not
  follow any strict instructions when compared to
  its counterparts and allows a little bit of rule
  breaking here and there, Here are some of the
  distinct characteristics.
• Colors Black, White and Neutrals, accentuated
  with bold and bright shades form the main color
  palette in contemporary decorating. Black is used
  to ground and define the room with wall painted
  in neutrals. Bold colored accessories form the
  backdrop.
• In case, the walls are painted in pastels, the
  trims will be neutral and if the walls are
  colored in bright colors, neutrals will be used
  everywhere else.

• Lines It is the line that forms one of the most
  distinct features of contemporary interior
  designing. It is found everywhere from
  architectural details, furniture pieces, color
  blocks and in the geometric shapes of wall art.
  This style of home décor works
• on the thumb rule of less is more hence every
  item counts and forms an indispensable
• part of the decor.

• Ways to Decorate in Contemporary style
• Declutter the space. Contemporary style borders
  on minimalism, focusing on clean lines and
  high-end, contemporary furniture pieces in a
  space that is free of clutter. Clutter can make
  a space feel smaller, which is the antithesis of
  one of the key elements of contemporary design
  cultivating a sense of openness. Take inventory
  of the space to look for opportunities to
  consolidate or donate pieces that dont fit the
  style youre aiming to achieve
• Incorporate natural materials. Create texture by
  incorporating natural elements, like wood,
  stone, jute, and metals, throughout your
  furniture, hardwood floors, or exposed walls.
  For example, a contemporary living room or
  bedroom might feature an exposed brick wall or
  create warmth with a jute rug. Upholstery choices
  may favor linen or leather.

• Make deliberate lighting choices. Contemporary
  designers are deliberate about their lighting
  choices, which often means maximizing big windows
  for natural light or purposeful selections of
  light fixtures, like track lighting and lamps
  that are unpretentious yet high quality. For
  example, incorporating a stainless-steel pendant
  light or chandelier into a space instead of a
  traditional floor lamp. Contemporary window
  treatments usually convey a sense of classic
  elegance through clean lines and neutral colors.
• Use accent colors. Generally, contemporary
  interiors favor a primarily neutral color
  palette of whites, creams, grays, or taupes with
  pops of bold or pastel color in accent pieces,
  such as wall art, lamps, or throw pillows. This
  design approach makes it possible to update a
  living room or bedroom to keep pace with evolving
  styles, like a statement area rug or a piece of
  bold artwork.
