What "Contemporary" Means

Ever wonder what the style "contemporary" really means? Well, I'm here to tell you.

All the time people come into the store wanting a fabric or window treatment that looks "contemporary" and stylish, but always come away with different things. This is because the style category "contemporary"  is a very broad and diverse one.

Contemporary design embodies clean and simple designs. No frills. Clean geometric shapes and smooth simple colors. Many times, a neutral color palate will take the stage, while a few pops of bright colors will make to room come to life.

When taking design, anything simple, yet interesting goes. The same goes with fabrics and treatments to the room. Clean, simple shapes are the key to contemporary design.
