The contemporary style is treated by some architectural scholars as a style in and of itself, meanwhile other scholars include this style as a natural evolution of Modern design, currently we treat it as Modern-Contemporary design and is considered to be the most modern of all styles in regards to architecture and decor. Characteristics of Contemporary interior design:

​

• Focus on open concept floor plans

• Lots of natural and strategic artificial lighting

• Straight lines and edges.

• Abundant use of metals, glass, stainless steel and wood

• Diverse architectural and furniture layouts

• Lighting design (lighting treated as art)

​

Contemporary designers tend to create more fluid and spontaneous spaces, practical and functional, all the while satisfying fully the wishes of the client since they don’t target a specific style or design, adding value to the project.
