Furniture New York Design Tips: Contemporary Style

The Retro 

If what you’re looking for is a quirky contemporary design, a retro style is most fitting. This concept incorporates psychedelic colors that made the 50s up to the 80s popular. Pop arts and lava lamps are also commonly found in retro designs. Retro accessories and furnishings are not hard to find. Aside from your local vintage store, they are certainly available at severalfurniture New York store. 

The Urban 

Homeowners who are living in the concrete jungles of New York almost always find their style affinity to urban designs. This design is also tremendously popular to young twenty to thirty-somethings living at high lofts and condos in downtown areas. Urban style is great for small spaces because most of the pieces are space-savers. Some of the urban pieces you’ll normally find in several furniture New York store are made with clean lines and black to light primary colors. 

The Mid-Century 

Another popular contemporary interior design is mid-century. Many of the pieces in this type of style are architectural and cubic. Like the urban style, almost all the furnishings in a mid-century contemporary style are space-savers. It is typical to see pieces with sleek lines and made from a combination of traditional and non-traditional materials like vinyl, glass and metal. 

There are several homeowners who like a softer version of the mid-century contemporary style. They achieve this by incorporating pieces with soft edges and using mostly wood, leather and glass. Fabrics are also possible but reserved for pillow tops and minor upholsteries. 

The Art Deco 

If you’re looking for streamlined pieces with seemingly gleaming façade, art deco is right for you. Pieces you’ll find in this type of collection are free from any intricate carvings. The entire look for art deco is luxurious without being exceedingly formal and plain. When visiting a furniture New York store, be sure to look for pieces with white, ivory lacquer finish and made from mirrors, glass or metals. Wood furnishings, in addition, must be finished with lighter tones.
