Interior Design

The young urban educated men and women today want nothing to do with their parents’ furniture, work of art, accessories or tableware. They don’t like florals, frills, bows or anything which screams the 70sand 80. They like clean, straight lines solids and abstracts, geometric shapes and sophisticated workmanship with minimum fuss. In other words, they like contemporary interior design.

Contemporary interior design is what you think of when you see sleek black leather sofas, stainless steel kitchen appliances, huge framed pieces of art in monochromatic tones and new fabrics like suede and micro fiber. Contemporary interior design is not what you see in country cottage flair, plaids and prints, flowers, polka dots, huge arrangements and cutesy frills and bows.

Kitchen, Bedroom and Beyond

Beyond the living room, contemporary interior design would include glass top tables with straight legs and straight back chairs as opposed to carved wooden furniture and shapely legs. In the kitchen, you are looking at high cabinets with granite top counters, refrigerator flush with the cabinets and a kitchen island complete with tall bar stools and geometric designed or solid dinner ware.
