Contemporary Classic Design

Design trends come and go so quickly that many of my clients ask about how to create a design that will last. Contemporary means “of the present moment.” Here is a quick list of how to design classic interiors with a contemporary twist:

  1. Choose neutral fabrics on your upholstered furniture. It is easy to change out pillows but costly to change the entire sofa.
  2. Don’t know what you like? We have found that Houzz.com is a great tool for helping our clients identify what they like by setting up an Ideabook for each project.
  3. Update your accessories. They don’t need to be expensive, just carefully chosen and placed well.
  4. Change your wall color. Paint companies are at the forefront of every contemporary design trend.
