CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

Modern architecture can be displayed in a contemporary house design, but the terms “contemporary house plans” and “modern house plans” are not interchangeable. One style of architecture that is currently in vogue is modern, which frequently has simple, unadorned structures and monochromatic colour schemes. On the other hand,
modern house plans combine many styles of architecture that are popular right now (which may or may not include modern architecture).

For instance, a modern open floor plan with the master bedroom on the main level might be featured in a contemporary home design together with a traditional exterior with Craftsman details. Open floor plans, huge windows that help with indoor/outdoor flow and energy efficiency, and airy outdoor living spaces are aspects that are frequently emphasised in both modern and contemporary house designs.

FEATURES OF CONTEMPORARY HOME STYLE

If you wish to modernise your home, you can incorporate some of the general elements of contemporary design.
Here are a few crucial considerations:

LIGHT TREATMENT : Modern architecture emphasises and celebrates light, both natural and artificial.
This entails allowing in as much light as you can, especially through structural components like big windows and skylights.

COLOR TREATMENT : A contemporary home is dominated by the colours black, white, and neutrals. There is a place for colour, but it usually serves as an accent rather than the dominant hue in a space.
Use black, white, and neutral colours like beige, taupe, and muted, earthy blues and greens as your major colours to balance out colour throughout your home. These colours will
ground the room and give it a contemporary vibe. From there, you can add splashes of colour with accessories, artwork, and other modest but significant details.

FLOORING : Clean lines and smooth textures are key components of the contemporary home, and your flooring choice should reflect this. Rugs are commonly used in place of carpets to soften specific
areas without overwhelming them with texture. Popular choices include wood, wood-styled vinyl, and laminate. Porcelain and terracotta ceramic tiles should be avoided as they will look antiquated in this type of house.

STYLISH DECOR : While clutter is not a significant part of contemporary home design, balanced, well-planned décor pieces have their place.

What quick changes may be made to a traditional home to make it more modern?

To create a modern atmosphere, you don’t have to start from scratch or completely empty a space. Starting with a conventional area, you may modernise it quickly by getting rid of clutter,
changing the paint colours, and getting rid of outmoded accents like fussy prints, ornate artwork, and window treatments.
