For anyone who thinks contemporary design is all about hard edges and straight lines, think again. The secret to a successful and warm contemporary scheme is to throw a few shapes. In the shape of curves of course. Nothing knocks off the hard edges like a few circles on repeat. Don’t limit yourself to just a circular table either. Look for curves in patterns, on pottery, overlapping rugs, and accessories. And then thow in a squidgy sofa, some velvet and some wispy pampas grass. Job done. You have a contemporary sitting room that looks inviting and comfortable. What other kind is there?
