Take a look at how this Spanish-style ranch was turned into a family home using a breathtaking display of contemporary chic decor.
Contemporary chic decor is defined by its usage of clean lines, open spaces, neutral color palettes, minimalistic elements, natural materials, sophisticated accent colors, statement decor pieces, organic shapes, and bringing about a mixture of old and new.
With all of these different elements and techniques, contemporary chic decor has the ability to bring about a sense of minimal sophistication, paired with a cozy, feminine feel, to any room, due to it being a mixture of contemporary design with chic styling.
Starting off with this living room, the most prevalent themes are the neutral colors, paired with bold art pieces, minimal furniture, and a very open space, which serves as a great way to make a living room feel warm and inviting.
Not all rooms have to follow the same color palette as the other ones, as we can see in this room, where warmer tones, such as pink and red, are being used to further bring out a sense of warmth.
This room chose to use a contrasting black and white rug to help bring a unique twist to this otherwise very minimalist room, pairing neatly with the smooth shapes and colors seen on the furniture.
This is a very common case in contemporary chic decor, since this style likes to combine newer design styles with more sophisticated, classic ones, resulting in extremely unique rooms such as this one, which are full of personality.
As for this coffee table and the room surrounding it, the contemporary chic decor style was a bit leaning more on a modern minimalist side, using mostly white and a darker green to create contrast, pairing once again with minimalist furniture.
A fluffy white rug is also helping bring out the comfortable, inviting feeling that contemporary chic decor strives to achieve, pairing with two art pieces, one being a neon sign, much like the one we previously saw.
These two rooms pair beautifully in the same home, as it helps the house feel coherent and with an even aesthetic.
As for the bedroom, we are once again shifting to warmer, more expressive tones that help bring out that more classical feel that our contemporary chic decor has been hinting towards throughout the house.
On top of the bed lies a clear, white blanket that pairs with the pillow and the grey headboard, as well as the light-brown bedside table and decor.
Overall, these give this bedroom plenty of personality and liveliness, which is something that, although it is very present throughout the home, also helps make the bedroom feel like a relaxing escape from all the stress and pressure from modern life.
In other words, the contemporary chic decor makes this room feel like a safe haven, an escape from all of our troubles.
The dining room is possibly one of the most unique rooms in this entire home, and a lot of that is due to its spectacular usage of wallpapers and rugs to decorate and give the room a classical, almost Victorian-like look.
Contemporary chic decor is mostly present in its more classical part in this room, but is also very noticeable in the dining table’s and chair’s neutral colors and smooth shapes.
It’s truly one of, if not the most sophisticated, rooms in the entire home, all thanks to this unique approach to decoration.
The last room we will be taking a look at is this bathroom, which, in itself, is choosing to adopt a more minimalist side of contemporary chic decor, pairing with a very unique and bold rug to give the room more personality.
It also chose to use a very uncommon table with the shape of a hand, carved out of wood, to fit in with the neutral tones that are engulfing this room, namely the chalky white and light browns.
Although functional and practical, this bathroom remains a sophisticated space, full of liveliness and personalization.
