The art of furniture design has evolved at a remarkable pace over the past decade, with the discovery of new materials and manufacturing possibilities. Contemporary designs have gained immense popularity among those who want the best but still want to stand out with sophisticated, nuanced interior home designs.
The bedroom is the most personal space in your home, and modern bedroom furniture has something to offer every comfortable aesthetic from minimalist chic to classic comfort and nouveau progressive. Personalised comfort is now possible no matter your stylistic sensibilities.
All products have certain characteristics that separate them from the herd and the situation is no different with contemporary accents and accoutrements. Before you choose to opt for such pieces, though, you ought to have a clear idea about the key attributes that make them what they are. Here are some of the aspects that comprise the style.
Below, we look at the reasons why wood is the material of choice for discerning customers and some of its major benefits.
Contemporary designers are known for offering simplicity and functionality in a sleek package. Modern bedroom furniture shapes are simple. In most cases, you would be able to choose between simpler shapes like rectangles, squares, and circles. The design style often makes it possible to fit these pieces together like a jigsaw and presents a pleasing visual effect.
Now that you have a fair idea about the chief attributes of new-age furniture, you should look into the components that comprise modern bedroom furniture to give yours the contemporary look it deserves.
Below, we look at the reasons why wood is the material of choice for discerning customers and some of its major benefits.
It is the most important component of the room and holds the most sway in determining the overarching aesthetic of the space. Among contemporary bed designs, the platform bed has become a firm favourite. It offers a minimalist and unobtrusive look, unlike classical beds. These bed frames often incorporate hidden storage built into the base, further enhancing the minimalist ethos by reducing the need for stand-alone storage.
Now that you have a good idea about every component, you can consider the bigger picture with options for fixtures that will take the best advantage of the size and shape of your room, and factor in your personal style. These style considerations should help you better define your own style, and help you shop brands that suit it.
You want your room to appear tastefully populated with modern furnishings, avoiding feeling too crowded, or too empty and devoid of character. The dimensions and shape of the space will dictate your starting point and which options will add, or detract from the overall feel. The rule of thumb is to preserve a sense of spaciousness within the bedroom, and that means deciding beforehand how many pieces of furniture will fit comfortably, and where the focal point of your room should be. Consulting with an experienced interior designer will make understanding and visualising the space much simpler, and by tapping into their experience you can streamline the entire process dramatically.
Many brands offer single pieces within a collection as well as complete matching sets in their popular ranges. Purchasing these sets is highly convenient and you no longer have to worry about the possibility of the different pieces not really meshing together in your room. Discerning customers are increasingly opting for these sets because of the sheer variety available and for peace of mind.
However, uniformity is not always relaxing and can come across as drab and lifeless to others. There is something to be said for curated spaces that feature a variety of stylistic choices and personal touches. Personalities and individual tastes need not be bound by what is convenient, and with the expert help of an interior designer, your mind can be opened up to new possibilities that you may have never considered. Mixing and matching does not automatically mean a chaotic result, instead, it allows you considerable freedom to find layouts and combinations that others may have not considered, even further enhancing the personality of your restful space.
One of the major benefits of contemporary furniture design is the innovative ways in which storage space is integrated.
Modular seating options are more than just grouped chairs, instead, these modules incorporate cleverly hidden compartments and hollow spaces that can serve as ideal temporary or long-term storage.
Similarly, in modern designs, many voids within furniture like beds are being utilised as closet space or storage for seasonal items and equipment.
Fitted wardrobes are the ideal way to maximise storage space, because of their completely customisable nature.
Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, custom-fitted storage and overhead wall-mounted units are all excellent ways to utilise areas that may otherwise just be wasted space or unreachable.
A distinct trend in new bedroom furnishings is the intentional choice of mismatched pieces that create interesting visual interplay. Matching colours of course create a uniform harmony, but contrasts, stark or subtle, are increasing in popularity in modern homes. Take, for instance, a traditional and classic bed design framed with ultramodern bedside tables and headboard in a striking finish, and you may update the look of the whole room.
Change is as good as a holiday, but the familiarity of home is always a welcome relief. Instead of following fads and trends when designing, look instead, to incorporate these modern sensibilities with accessories, small touches, and additions while staying true to the aesthetic that most appeals to you.
Modern and trendy doesn’t, however, mean that these items will automatically lose their appeal. In the world of luxury brands, a hallmark of contemporary design is bringing timeless designs into a more modern setting.
