Contemporary Home Decor Ideas

Contemporary home decor can work for either men or women. You could find it in a country home or a bachelor pad. It is the perfect style for anyone who likes a bright and airy look and enjoys being on the cutting edge of fashion. Here are some tips for contemporary home decor even if you are on a budget.
Stick with neutral colors. Contemporary design focuses on light and space. If you want more of a modern look then you can go with bright pops of color. Contemporary means whatever is popular right now. This can be disastrous if you invest a lot of money in a really wild sofa because it will only be in style for a few months. Instead, go with the more neutral side of contemporary that you can transition into the latest cutting edge designs later on.
Make a big impact with your lighting. Contemporary home decor might seem boring or even sparse. This is why you need to make the utilitarian pieces in your room special. You could add colorful glass pendant shades to the fixtures over your kitchen island. Find lamps with intricate paper shades so they look like works of art.
Use oversized artwork and accessories. Contemporary spaces don't use a lot of accessories so the ones that you do use should really make an impact. Lately there's been a trend of really enormous table lamps that look like bottles. This is the place where you can bring in color. Look to the latest fashion colors because those will usually correspond with what is going on in the home design world.
