Contemporary style in Milan apartments

Contemporary apartment in Milan

Many homeowners believe that modern design is too minimalist, soulless and cold, but the contemporary style easily refutes these stereotypes. This non-trivial mix of different styles proves that a modern interior can be environmentally friendly, practical, cozy and comfortable at the same time. As a separate style, contemporary music was formed at the end of the last century and has become widespread in recent years. The style is dynamically developing, absorbing the latest trends in modern design.

  • high tech;

Building's facade

The room decorated in contemporary style will always be eclectic, but at the same time restrainedly concise and functional. We can safely say that all modern design is a balanced presentation of various trends, fashion ideas and the latest trends. There is no strict framework in the style of contemporary music - you can install incredibly expensive designer furniture in one room and place a thing that is quite affordable in cost from the Ikea store. Against the backdrop of a luxurious finish made of the most modern materials, you can hang a picture, a composition of mirrors or a poster with the image of your favorite comic book hero.

Living room interior

Living room in gray tones

But there are basic elements in modern style - this is, first of all, the color scheme. The neutral palette prevails both in the decoration of the premises and in the furnishings. Bright, colorful objects are used to create accents. But most of the interior is made up of shades of gray, white and beige, often black or dark gray is used to highlight the contour, emphasize shapes and lines.

Spacious and bright room

All shades of gray

The love of famous designer furniture is what makes the contemporary style akin to modernism. Time-tested, functional and outwardly attractive pieces of furniture in a modern setting look in a completely different light, becoming the focal points of the interior.

Arrangement of an open balcony

The minimalist atmosphere in the dining area emphasizes the severity of the context, and the use of well-known furniture models helps to create a cozy but practical atmosphere in which it will be convenient for both households and guests of the apartment. The original pendant lamp in several tiers effectively completes the image of the dining area.

Simple and smooth forms, clear and clean lines are the basis of the concept of contemporary music. It is reflected in the simple decoration, minimalist design of windows, furniture and decoration in laconic versions. The principle of contemporaryity - nothing should irritate the eyes, distract from relaxation and rest (if we are talking about the living room or bedroom) or productive work (if the office or workshop is being drawn up).

Strict shapes and clean lines

The absence of a bright or variegated color palette is more than offset by the original combination of textures - gloss, glass, metal and marble next to wooden elements or natural fabrics. Cotton, linen, wool and silk effectively complement interior items made from the most advanced artificial materials.

Textile decoration of the bedroom

The mirror surface of the bedside table looks incredibly impressive against the background of the soft upholstery of the bed frame. The combination of natural materials and deliberately futuristic elements made of artificial surfaces leads to the creation of an original, but at the same time incredibly functional interior.

Mix of textures and materials

The most modern models of lighting devices not only provide the necessary level of illumination and local illumination, but also bring originality, a unique charm of modernity to the interior.

Fancy table lamp

The combination of not only materials with different textures, but also shades with the opposite color temperature can lead to the creation of an original, modern interior. Warm chocolate and beige shades of furniture and finishes look great in conjunction with a cool palette of textile design for a berth.

Different shades of marsala's color textile design of the berth look great against the backdrop of snow-white finishes and furnishings. In addition to aesthetic appeal, the room boasts high functionality - various storage systems and a workplace as a continuation of the design of the bed.

Bedroom for the modern teenager

Contemporary stands for practicality, designed with the latest technology. Built-in storage systems and multifunctional furniture are the basic principles for the arrangement of premises. For the kitchen space, as a rule, simple smooth facades are used, next to which the most modern household appliances are built.
