classic and contemporary styles

Classic style The taste for the classic style has never gone out of fashion. Marble, mirrors with gilt frames or fabrics in intense natural colors are the elements that work to achieve this style. The use of furniture made from natural wood, wrought iron or wicker can also help us to give our rooms a delightful classical atmosphere. While not turning their backs on technology, some interior designers have opted for the recovery of an old-fashioned esthetic which involves recycling old models or materials, inspiring them at the same time with a modern sensibility. The task of reviving old formulas and adapting them to new contexts create a warm and casual atmosphere. For example, classic kitchens tend to have a warm, intimate character that makes them an attractive invitation to family meals. A bedroom with a certain classic air will project the comfort and warmth necessary for a pleasant rest. Contemporary style Far from the complexity of the classic style, contemporary trends in decoration use clean, essential lines. Favoring the use of white, delighting in empty space, today's rooms are zones created to combat the chaos and incessant buzz of urban life. In the most modern trends in decoration, glass has become one of the most outstanding features. For bathroom design, these transparent surfaces are extremely attractive, since their qualities (brightness, clarity and cleanliness) turn the bathroom into a zone full of light. Along with glass, stainless steel has been the other favorite material. Thanks to its bright, metallic sparkle, steel can be combined with all sorts of materials and with numerous colorful accents and works of art. Modern living rooms are created based on irony, on the juxtaposition of contrasting elements, the redefining of old standards, or breaking with convention. Modern kitchen design attempts to adapt itself to our frenetic contemporary way of life. For that reason, functionalism and rationality, clean, efficient lines have turned into indispensable guidelines for any model. Contemporary bedroom design attempts to adapt itself to the constant changes and new customs involved in everyday life. And the new materials, simple shapes and straight lines used in conceiving the latest trends in bedrooms, aim at creating a sense of calm.
