Contemporary
This style definition can be confusing! It is usually defined as the “architecture of the present day”, which incorporates current trends and creative new ideas in both interior and exterior forms, materials and fixtures. Contemporary homes usually feature open floor plans, clean lines, simple palettes of materials and sleek fixtures. Often transitional homes have areas that are more contemporary within the house.
