Furnish your home: modern or contemporary design?
We have repeatedly addressed the topic of trends and perhaps it is precisely one of the elements that distinguishes one home from another. Often we have vague ideas on how to furnish our apartment but we cannot make them concrete. But are we sure we know exactly what style is right for our house?
Today's theme is precisely this: to adopt the modern style or prefer the contemporary style?
We will discover together which are the main differences and we will understand which precautions to follow to be able to have a coherence also at stylistic level, to make the spaces in which we live more adherent to our needs. It will be possible to understand, at the end of our section, which design is best suited to the structure of your home and above all to avoid the most common mistakes.
And then, if you are ready we can begin!
Let's start with the style defined ‘’ modern ’. As you can guess, this terminology is used in reference to the time period that goes from the beginning of the mid-twentieth century. This style is the ancestor, so we can call it, of contemporary design. Opened by Bauhaus, this design focuses on simple shapes and lines and functionality. If you are lovers of simplicity and colors that recall nature, with earthy nuances, this is the style for you! Another pillar of modern style is represented by the rediscovery of ecological materials.
Wood, leather and stone are often used both as indoor structures and as real furnishing accessories. The essentiality and the sinuous and aerodynamic figures are the must have for those who want to have a "modern" house. " We advise the adoption of this style for those who, although they do not have extremely large spaces, wish to recreate in their own home walls ‘’ zen ’’ and bright settings.
Now that we have extensively described the characteristics of the modern style, we can analyze the contemporary one in detail.
The substantial difference with respect to the previous one lies, first of all, in the absence of a time reference that marks the beginning of this "current". In fact, contemporary design means everything that takes up fashions from the point of view of furnishings that are the most popular.
And it is precisely this ambiguity that makes contemporary design interesting. But some qualities are to be emphasized, in order to avoid creating environments with discoloration and contrasting styles. The shades are not those of the natural environment, but cold, neutral tones are preferred. The key word is minimalism. The materials used to make spaces in line with the contemporary style are nickel, chrome, steel combined with extremely natural textures, such as jute.
This style does not lend itself to all settings. It is preferable to adopt it for furnishing homes that have a basic structure, so as to enrich it with typical elements of the most artistic design there is!
These are the guidelines that will help you give your home a strong and well-defined identity. But remember that feeling "at home" means being in a place that can transmit part of us. So, be free to break these rules to make your home unique !!
