Sleek. Neutral. These are a few of the words that come to mind when you think of contemporary style. It is all of these things\u2014and much more! Contemporary design and style are sometimes confused with modern style, but the two are actually quite different. Modern style refers to design from a specific time period from the early to mid-twentieth century. On the contrary, contemporary does not refer to any specific era or time period. Rather, it is the changing styles that define design that is popular now. This can make it a little more difficult to pin down the specifics of contemporary style. However, there are some hallmarks that help distinguish it. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/encaustic_rogue_hex_wall_set_main_1-1000x912.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white diamond wall tile.\" class=\"wp-image-1335\" width=\"522\" height=\"475\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/680717\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Rogue Hex Encaustic (opens in a new tab)\">Rogue Hex Encaustic<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hallmarks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few of the clues that you might be looking at contemporary design are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A minimalistic feel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean colors, often neutrals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hidden or integrated appliances and features<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An emphasis on natural light<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flat-panel cabinetry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>European cabinet pulls or no hardware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stainless steel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recessed and pendant lighting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Artistic elements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/splendorstyling_2019-03-27_3169743468-1000x1222.jpg\" alt=\"Tiled home bar and table\" class=\"wp-image-1327\" width=\"512\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/splendorstyling_2019-03-27_3169743468-1000x1222.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/splendorstyling_2019-03-27_3169743468-800x978.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/splendorstyling_2019-03-27_3169743468-768x939.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/splendorstyling_2019-03-27_3169743468.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/682504\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Boardwalk Charcoal Wood Look (opens in a new tab)\">Boardwalk Charcoal Wood Look<\/a>.
