Perhaps that’s why people use the words interchangeably to describe to what was popular before, like dark, heavy, carved woods and gilding.” architecture and interior design, although modern and contemporary “If anyone wants to know what are actually two distinct styles. modern design is,” she adds, “just watch ‘Mad Men.’” Due in part to the Webster notwithstanding, only popularity of the AMC TV show set in the word “contemporary” describes the 1960s, the “mid-century modern” what is in style or “of the moment” look is in vogue right now, so modern in architecture and design.

starkness. Sleek floors and reflective surfaces such as exposed metals and glass complete the effect. Perhaps the most notable difference between modern and contemporary styling is the overall effect each achieves. Modern design creates a retro effect because it features vintage pieces or new pieces inspired by vintage designs, such as Eames chairs, Formica tables and bent plywood. In contrast, contemporary design tends to create a futuristic effect through the use of modular furnishings, asymmetry, open floor plans and recycled and composite materials. Combining pieces from different eras and styles can create a space that’s predominantly, but not purely modern or contemporary, for a pleasingly warm and welcoming effect. “This is what I am seeing a lot of,” Bergelt says, “and it’s also my favorite way of designing. I like to call it classic-contemporary.”
