Contemporary interior design blends comfortable and liveable elements to create a sophisticated yet simplistic look and feel- an aesthetic balance of yin and yang. Typically comprised of neutral colours, walls might be shades of brown, cream or white with an accent wall in a bolder colour.
The desire for spacious living means the kitchen will be open plan and airy and furniture will comprise of basic forms, clean lines and simple shapes.
Accessories might include wooden pots and picture frames, and any fabrics will be plain rather than elaborate patterns. Lighting is key to illuminating the room, and pendants and floor lamps are typical of this style.
