One of the great pleasures - and hazards - of decorating in a contemporary style is that there are few rules to guide you. This freedom can be invigorating or disastrous. You'd do well to begin by acquainting yourself with the basic elements of contemporary design.

The Elements of Modern Design
No two homes decorated in a contemporary style will look exactly alike, but each will exhibit a mix of these elements:

§                     an incorporation of empty space that yields an airy, uncluttered appearance

§                     simple, clean lines and an architectural appreciation for texture and form

§                     sculptured lamps and track or recess lighting fixtures that disperse ambient light

§                     large, iconic accessories and artworks rather than small, cute, or frenetic pieces

§                     an ability to inject bright, fresh colors into a simple base of black and neutrals

§                     an overall effect that is bold, clean, fresh, artistic, and washed in light
