If you must have modern objects and art in your home but also like to keep updating your home with the latest style, you are technically a fan of contemporary style.
People are often confused about the difference between modern and contemporary design.
A modern style bedroom usually captures the essence of a specific period in time – like the 1960s or 70s.
But contemporary style is all about today – the latest trends now plus a bit of trying to predict the future.
That said, the contemporary bedroom style is mostly about creating an up-to-date, comfortable, and inviting sleep space without cluttering it too much with older pieces.
And nothing speaks “comfort” more than pillows!
Today, contemporary-style pillows are often striped or carry bold graphic or printed patterns, use a calming color pallet, and often appear sleek, fresh, and simple.
