Many types are quite common and self-explanatory: rustic, English, maritime, urban, or commercial. But when you prefer traditional versus contemporary, how can you tell? These two styles appear to be the most popular, yet they have the widest range of options available. Here is an overview of the contemporary and traditional difference.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary design is often interchanged with "classic", which is not true.
With its open floor plans, solid walls, a flat roof and a boxy look, contemporary architecture can be described.
Contemporary decorating is about the “here and now.” It can best be characterized by: less is more, clean lines, minimal clutter, neutral and tonal colors paired with bold pops of color, open spaces, and an abundance of natural light that allows the rooms to feel airy and comfortable. The most obvious and distinctive element of a contemporary style interior design is line. It’s found in architectural details, use high ceilings and geometric shapes in wall art and sculpture.
CONTEMPORARY DESIGN BASICS INCLUDE:
Contemporary furnishings offer smooth surfaces in light-colored timber, glass, bronze, stainless steel or chrome. Textiles are organic materials in neutral colors (silk, cotton, linen, and wool), with the occasional bold color or pattern used as a piece of decoration.
Shades — black, ivory, orange, beige, gray and brown neutral shades are the backdrop to the modern color scheme. Brighter changes of color are permitted but kept to a minimum.
Walls— dark color colors on the walls that work for this style, with the occasional accent wall in a darker hue. The patterned tone-on-tone wallpaper always works as long as the pattern does not control too much.
Flooring — bar floors are made of wood, cement, stone or laminate, with a simple pattern of occasionally adding an area rug. Wall-to-wall carpeting with a low pile should be in a good, neutral color.
Lighting is used in a contemporary interior as an artistic statement. All floor and table lamps have straight lines and elegant metal finishes; with a special hue, light may be added. Recessed or track lighting draws attention to art and accessories that are well-placed.
