What is Contemporary Design?
Contemporary design is ever-evolving because it basically refers to what is currently popular and in style. People often confuse contemporary and modern interior design because there can be overlap depending on what is fashionable at the moment. For example, Scandinavian-influenced design has been on trend recently, and it has a lot of modern influences, so it can be considered both contemporary and modern. Pure modern design has been around for decades; it is centered on clean lines, minimalism, neutral backgrounds with bright pops of color and a lot of industrial materials like metal, glass and concrete. On the other hand, contemporary design welcomes different elements like ornamental objects, rich color palettes, curved lines and lots of texture and pattern. This is why we love contemporary design for bedrooms. It's easy to make them warm, inviting and plush. We've gathered some of our favorite contemporary bedrooms to show you exactly what we mean.
