Contemporary design is all about letting go of the strict design rules and embracing a more relaxed, open and minimalistic approach to home design. It is defined by functionality, simplicity and subtle elegance. Natural and organic materials have also found their way into contemporary design style with the return of green living and the need to conserve earth’s natural resources. There is also a renewed interest in homeowners to find natural and sustainable building products. Including natural materials into a home exterior or interior can help you achieve a contemporary yet timeless design. This home project by Jaffa Group Design Build and K. Rocke Interior Designs achieves this goal in style.
