Contemporary doesn't have to mean 'plain' or hard. It encompasses a wide choice of styles suitable for all types of modern homes – and even a touch of retro chic thrown in for good measure, too. In fact, contemporary can include geometric designs, and a host of understated colors that add light and space to your home. Use modern wallpaper patterns to give your décor with structure; you can then harmonise it with neutral paints or add warming colors to soften the effect. For a thoroughly modern effect, take a look at the range of gray paint on offer, each one with its own unique character, from cool blue grays to warm grays with red undertones.
Contemporary wallpaper is ideal for any space but works particularly well in hallways. Combined with a harmonising colour like beige paint, it can give a narrow corridor a more open and welcoming feeling. In a home office, it can create a calm, focused ambience, while adding a contemporary theme to a dining room lets you control how airy or intimate it feels, depending on the occasion. Contemporary designs are remarkably flexible and adaptable for almost any modern home.
