Contemporary Furniture And Your Personal Touch: How Do They Jive?

Contemporary furniture is sleek, simple and artistic, yet you likely have a million items in your home representing your more personal style, perhaps even a few traditional heirlooms as well. Here’s how to put them all together without a major faux pas style clash.
 

Start With Solid White Contemporary Furniture

The lines of contemporary furniture can be severe, with bold cuts and odd curves. If you begin with a palette of white, and build the room up slowly based around the major pieces of furniture, your finished look will be dynamic. Rush it all, though, adding too many colors or patterns along the way and you’ll end up with a cluttered, miss-matched disaster.
 

Shop Without Knowing What You’re Looking For

While that may seem odd, meandering through quaint old shops or contemporary boutiques aimlessly will yield greater results than if you’re mission is set in stone. Rather than fighting to force your idea of the perfect piece into a room, something you see will jump right out at you and “Eureka!” — You won’t believe how good it looks. Spontaneity is the spice of style.
 

Use Your Additions To Add Warmth

Your personal collection, including items belonging to distant relatives, can add warmth to the sometimes sharp edges of modern and contemporary furniture. A contemporary sofa, for example, as the centerpiece of the room will appear outspoken and stark by itself, but arrange an antique planter on either side of it or the whole room springs to life. Be careful not to overdo the mix, however, by allowing items to complement each other, rather than compete with each other.

Your favorite contemporary pieces can indeed work well with your treasured classics. With a little thoughtfulness, what you create is a cozy and comfortable setting based on sleek modern style. What a wonderful place to call home!
