20 Traits of Fabulous Furniture in Contemporary Design

February 14th, 2017

Furniture is a tough thing to pick. How can you get something with just the right color so it matches, but also with the correct design. Everyone struggles to some degree with this. In this article there are twenty excellent traits of great furniture in contemporary design. Look no further for pointers on picking your next set of furniture.

Key Takeaways:

  • Contemporary designs, quite like mid century modern designs, involve a simplification of the detailing and an innate clean-lined aspect.
  • Modern refers to a specific time period (early to mid 20th century, in fact), while contemporary design is design of the moment.
  • Right now, however, the two words are often used together because many elements of mid century modern design – particularly furniture – are incorporated into contemporary spaces.

“Today’s contemporary design won’t be the same as the contemporary design of the 2030s because of its roots in the moment.”

How To Replace Paneling With Drywall

February 9th, 2017

You may not like the paneling in your home. Some is dark and it can look old fashioned. Not everyone likes that sort of thing. This shows you what to do if you want to change it. It shows how to put in drywall instead.

Key Takeaways:

  • We don’t like the dark paneling and want to make the room lighter in appearance. We’re thinking about drywalling the rooms, but the paneling is so much thinner than regular drywall.
  • The great news is that you have several options and I urge you to stop removing paneling immediately until you test at least one of my ideas.
  • Since you’ve already considered removing the paneling, what I propose is not going to create problems.
