Contemporary style should not be confused with modern style. If your client wants a contemporary home, it means they’re into current design trends. It is not a static trend but rather an evolving one that adapts to current times. Contemporary style is generally based on simplicity, sophistication and clean lines. It is not cluttered, and it’s very sleek and fresh.
