Contemporary homes are characterized by their clean sleek lines, muted cool colour palettes, featuring a lot of whites, creams and greys. Sticking to this very modern colour scheme, however, doesn't have to be boring try adding a splash of colour to your white walls with a vibrant painting, or add a brightly coloured chair or sofa to draw the eye. Accents of colour can also come from cushions, rugs, throws or ornaments, which add interest to what could otherwise be a plain looking room. Shiny metal, polished wood and cool tiles and glass are also used to create a very modern look. The Contemporary home is clear and uncluttered aside from a few well chosen ornaments that bring pops of colour to stark whites and cool colours.
