The Contemporary style honors current living and values. In the 1990s and today, interiors are functional, physically comfortable, environmentally conscious, and versatile to suit the hurried individual's idiosyncratic tastes and needs of the moment. Bright, airy, and uncluttered, the style embraces white walls, blonde woods, fresh colors, sensual textiles, clean-lined furniture, and materials that are natural, recyclable, or industrial such as glass and steel. The result: eclectic yet cozy retreats from fast-paced pressures.
