What exactly is a contemporary home? The answer to the question is always changing and evolving as modern architecture is a reflection of what’s important at the time a home was built. That being said, a contemporary home built in the 1950s might look slightly different than one built in 2020. One thing for sure is when you see it, you’ll know it!
Contemporary homes have a modern flare to them, often with clean over-exaggerated lines. From the lens of current architecture, it’s safe to say that the contemporary home is an eclectic mix of modern and minimalist. Oftentimes contemporary and modern homes get confused but they are different.
Modern homes are often built with industrial like materials that rely heavily on large open windows and often the liberal use of metal. This can be found in the handrails, the stairs, and even kitchen counters. Contemporary homes are quite the opposite.
