Constantly changing, today's contemporary style uses different elements such as mouldings and windows to create interesting and distinct spaces. A concept born at the same time as post-modernism, contemporary style takes its inspiration from modernism, but also from less widespread styles such as futurism, art deco and deconstructivism, typically using clean lines to create a light, airy atmosphere.

Metal and glass are very common, as are neutral colours. That being said, unlike modern, contemporary seeks to create strong contrasts between its colours and materials.
