When the home is designed in a traditional style, the artifacts must suit the character of the home décor. Brass lamps, heavy silks, portraits on the walls, and carved furniture make a statement. The décor items will follow suit whether it is metal statues or lamps, silverwares on the side of the tables or ethnic floor coverings like Persian carpets or durries. Contemporary interiors call for a lot of glass combined with metalware either chrome or matte finished. Colors are a juxtaposition of solids with contrasts and drama created by geometrics and simplicity in soft furnishings and wall finished. Artifacts will be modern art either in sculptures or abstracts. Freeform glassware is also a good option to add some color and texture to a space where the focus is on the modern design dialect. Modern electronics jostle for space in any contemporary home. Large flat screens, music paraphernalia, and accompanying elements have to be worked into the décor with minimum intrusions into the design ambience.
In bedrooms, personal items like bedside photo frames, indoor plants, bowls for knock-knacks, and window dressing can be tuned to complement the designs in the rest of the home so that there is a seamless flow of visual aesthetics all through the home. Alternatively, if the decision is to do up each room in different styles, there will be a variance. Personal touches in terms of preferences in color, textured paints, or the kind of seating will dictate the look in these spaces.
Other more functional spaces have minimal use of decoration. Kitchens are activity zones that can be made cheerful and inviting with pleasant colors of cabinets or countertops, some artwork on the walls, and attractive tiles. These days, utensils, crockery, and cutlery are aesthetically and artistically designed and add a touch of elegance to a dull and sometimes monotonous space.
