Contemporary design is all about what’s trendy now. Contemporary is considered a fluid style that often breaks the rules rather than making them. In fact, contemporary design borrows elements from other periods and styles to create a unique vision. Contemporary style emphasizes clean lines and angles, it also relies heavily on minimal furnishings, open spaces, and natural light. In contemporary interiors, negative space is also considered part of the design. Let’s take a closer look at contemporary design considering some contemporary dining rooms.
Colors
Neutral colors like white, taupe, beige, brown, cream, black and gray create the foundation of contemporary design. Consider monochromatic or tone-on-tone color palettes to pull together a quintessential contemporary space.

Furniture
Choose furniture to reinforce the clean lines and smooth surfaces inherent in contemporary design. Keep profiles slim but substantial. Skip any kinds of prints and patterns but brighten things up by using light wood tones and stains in shades like blond maple or natural birch. Stainless steel, nickel, and chrome are popular for contemporary spaces, but polished and brushed brass, gold, and copper achieve the same effect while adding visual warmth.
