contemporary glamour

Clean, sleek, and uncluttered, today’s modern designs are anything but ordinary. The bold style brings drama and showstopping appeal to hardworking kitchens and baths.

Free from fuss, contemporary kitchens and baths boast an exciting mix of sophisticated materials and smart function. Abiding by the philosophy of “less is more,” the best contemporary spaces emphasize quality over quantity, minimizing ornamentation in favor of clean lines, square profiles, streamlined faucets, sleek appliances, and sculptural tubs. But within this unadorned framework, surprises abound. Bold lighting, dramatic architecture, high-tech features, and an occasional pop of vibrant color add plenty of personality to these one-of-a-kind rooms.

Shimmery backsplash tile accented by simple wood shelves creates a stunning focal point amid streamlined white cabinetry. A terrazzo floor lends visual interest underfoot—and its lively pattern helps to hide scuffs and dirt.
