The placement of leather furniture around a fireplace is a pleasing arrangement, and typical of the Contemporary style. The size of a space will determine furniture placement, or the need and ability for multiple 'zones'. When arranging furniture leave some space between the pieces to provide a more open feel. This is especially important in smaller rooms to promote a Contemporary atmosphere.
Texture is another feature of the style with jute, bamboo and linen textiles.
The floors of the contemporary space are tiled, wood or vinyl. If your only option is carpet, select neutral colors and use contemporary area rugs.
If your Contemporary space features high, lofty ceilings, use contemporary chandeliers to minimize the appearance of the ceiling height. Contemporary chandeliers will also add an additional layer to the Contemporary decor that beautifully complements sophisticated Contemporary leather furniture. Keep in mind, lighting is important in the style. When natural light is available it fits perfectly with the contemporary theme.
Accessories can be used to add a pop of color, but keep in mind the minimalism of contemporary design llows for few accessories. A clear or white vase with a few bright flowers, or light to medium greenery. Window treatments, rugs and pillows can be textured, but neutral is preferable. The Contemporary Style never uses excessively carved wood, lace, ruffles or flowery prints.
The contemporary style allows for some rule bending. To add a touch of color, the use of a few colored pillows on the sofa with neutral pillows is acceptable. If the size of the space allows without crowding, a display or two of larger objects is perfectly fine. An example would be a contemporary vase display in solid colors or bright colored glass. Keep the desired mood in mind when selecting these accessories. Be cautious not to add too much color in the contemporary space.
