Are you all about the now? Do you think of history as ‘so last year’? Are you constantly looking for the latest style evolution? If you answer yes to all three questions then contemporary events are for you, although knowing exactly how to bring one to life can often cause confusion, and for understandable reasons.
Contemporary design takes focus on what is happening right now, while also looking to the future for further inspiration. The challenge of this, clearly, is that what makes up the current moment doesn’t stay still for very long and this results in it incorporating a mixture of various other styles, including modern, art deco and futuristic. Despite this, the specific use of colors, materials and other standards that help to define the genre still manage to set it apart from the rest, albeit with some crossover.
Colors play an important role in creating your contemporary feel, however, these should also be harmonized with appropriate lighting. Black, white, grey etc. are often the base of the room, with solid and bold designs playing an appropriate role without dominating the space. Add a layer or two of light to the color chosen keeping in mind the importance of introducing natural sunlight for day events. A venue with windows stretching from floor to ceiling clearly delivers on this. When the sun sets, or the clouds are dark, alternative options need to be in place, and the use of light fixings that align themselves well with the rest of your décor keeps the contemporary look.
The lighting leads us neatly onto the types of materials you’re going to need. Smooth metal is often the way to go, however, the use of glass, marble, and porcelain can all fit. In some zones clean cut concrete and stone can be added for a similar effect.
Taking your color palette and material choices forward, the present view of contemporary style links with an open-plan approach to the room, where clearly defined lines are not only visible, but impactful. Overall, there is an uncluttered, minimalist elegance, which is noticeable from the moment you enter.
