An ever-changing feast of shapes, colours and materials, Contemporary homes may be ‘of the moment’, but rest assured they can still be timeless. That’s because the style’s roots are to be found in the pared-back, unadorned aesthetics and indoor/outdoor layouts championed by architects in the 1920s and ’30s.

Cleverly shunning the fads and fashions that come and go, Contemporary style highlights clean lines and open spaces, and is the perfect backdrop for the furniture designs, art, colours, textiles and accessories of today.
