While sometimes used interchangeably, modern interior design and contemporary interior design are two distinct styles. Modern interior design is a bold, sleek aesthetic that debuted in the late nineteenth century, while contemporary interior design evolves with the times, shifting to accommodate new trends and tastes. Contemporary design borrows elements from various other popular interior styles to create fresh, fashion-forward spaces.

As one of nine expertly curated Designer Appointed Collections available through the Toll Brothers Design Studio, choosing the Cool Contemporary Collection ensures a refined, cohesive style for your new home. This Collection’s fixtures, finishes, and flooring form a solid base for trendier accents that can be easily updated. Created by the same experts behind our stylish model homes, this look offers an ideal backdrop for all your treasured items and memories.

Enhance Your Home’s Cool Contemporary Style

Continue reading for helpful tips on using color, texture, furniture, and décor to add even more cool contemporary interior design characteristics to your new Toll Brothers home.

Color

Cool whites and soft greige walls are classic choices that work well with bolder accents. To infuse on-trend hues into your home, explore colors like icy blues, frosty purples, and watery greens. Dark, rich, cool tones such as navy, charcoal, and emerald work as moody neutrals that add depth.

Texture

Layering textures helps make the spaces in your cool contemporary home look complete. For textiles, think about creating a mix of tactile experiences, like lustrous silk and nubby tweed or woven linen and plush faux fur. The same principle applies to other décor elements: rustic pottery combined with polished glass or a sleek mirror against limewashed walls creates sophisticated contrast.

Furniture and Décor

Contemporary interior design celebrates clean lines. As a result, mid-century modern and Scandinavian furniture are often found in luxury contemporary interiors. Today, we also see the use of curves, such as sofas and chairs with rounded edges and soft lines. Sleek and streamlined pieces in wood or other natural materials are timeless and look beautiful when combined with decorative elements like chrome light fixtures, abstract wall art, and marble accents.
