Contemporary furniture
Today’s contemporary furniture designs provide hundreds of ways
to decorate your home or office in style. As with modern furniture,
contemporary design means functionality and simplicity, being comforting
without being cluttered and dark. Clean lines and smooth texture help
create your space a quiet retreat.
The color palette of contemporary furniture generally includes neutrals,
black and white with bright and bold color used sparingly to accent
certain pieces. If the furniture is upholstered, the fabric used is
generally of a natural look. Common fabrics used with this type of furnishings
include linen, wool, cotton and silk.
Most contemporary furniture should accentuate a simple and uncluttered
room, without any curves or decoration. Beds and sofas should have no
skirt or ruffles and even the designs of the sheets should be basic
and spare – no florals! Most tables, chairs, and sofas should
have exposed legs that make cleaning around the furniture a breeze.
