Style Your Space: Contemporary Picks
Contemporary decor is having a moment, and for good reason. It’s clean but not boring, minimal but still warm, and somehow manages to look effortless and pulled-together at the same time! This week, we're showing you our favourite pieces to help you bring that clean, modern feel into your home without it feeling clinical or dull.
Open, Airy And Oh-So-Contemporary
Meet the Bronze Shelving Unit! Its sleek, brushed bronze finish isn’t just a colour; it’s that perfect mix of modern metallic glow and a hint of texture that adds just enough personality to keep things interesting. This isn’t your typical bulky bookshelf. It’s tall, slim, and open-backed, so it gives you that airy, light feeling that contemporary spaces crave. Plus, those clean lines? Classic contemporary. We also have a matching Coffee Table and Console Table if you want to go all out on the brushed bronze!
Effortless Style, Everyday Function
When thinking of contemporary home styling, clean lines and sleek silhouettes are the absolute visual essentials. But it gets even better when you combine those contemporary staples with function, which is where our Hourglass Coffee Table comes in. The hourglass shape, reminiscent of a cocktail glass, adds a unique edge to any room and almost brings a modern art edge to a morning coffee! The dark mango wood brings a deep contrast to any room, whilst the brass detailing will add a touch of warmth to your modern space. Combine it with lighter coloured furniture to make a bold statement, or pair it with gold / bronze furniture to really tie it together!
Marble and Marvellous
Looking for a bigger table to really make a statement in your living room? Say hello to our Gold Marble Nesting Tables! Ideal for adding warmth with their antique gold finish, whilst the simple design still exudes contemporary class. The variation of surfaces on each table - with tinted glass and a marble top, adds a sophisticated contrast of textures without feeling too busy. You can place these gorgeous nesting tables next to your favourite comfy chair, or place them in the centre of a room to really make them pop as standalone pieces.
The Bench That Does It All, And Looks Good Doing It
If you think that contemporary style means sticking to monochromatic styles, our Boucle Storage Bench in Terracotta is here to prove otherwise! The warm earthy tone still feels modern and trendy, but will add depth and personality to your space. Oh, and then there's the fact that it's not just a statement piece and a comfy seat, but it's also a storage solution! That's right, just lift the seat and you've got a whole space to keep things you'd rather not show. This mix of form and function shows that you don't have to choose between style and usability, you can have both!
Fusing Organic With Modern
One unique way to bring a modern edge to your home is to combine it with more natural shapes and curves, and one fantastic example of this is our Daliseque Mirror. With its eye catching oak edge and asymmetrical style, it brings that perfect mix of sculpture and modern edge; a combo that contemporary interiors are all about! It’s the kind of mirror that works anywhere, it can be used to brighten up a hallway or as a finishing touch to a living room. And because it’s not overly decorative or too stark, it fits seamlessly into a modern home that values clean design with a little quirk.
Grounded In Modern Style
If you love patterns but you want to incorporate them in a sleek, modern way, the Monochrome Grid Rug is the way to go. With its stylish cream background and its 3D geometric lines, this rug completely sums up the trend of contemporary decor: it's refined and brings balance and contrast without feeling overwhelming. You can use it to anchor your living room, brighten up a darker bedroom, or even place it in your dining room to give a subtle texture difference. Oh, and it comes in three sizes so you can fully customise your space!
Contemporary style is all about creating spaces that feel calm, stylish and sleek without feeling bland. The best part? You don’t need to gut your whole home or start from scratch. Just a few thoughtful swaps like a bold coffee table or a subtly patterned rug can easily bring that clean, contemporary vibe to your space. So go ahead, mix those materials, play with contrast, and let your space breathe. Contemporary has never looked (or felt) so good!
