Furnishing a villa in contemporary style is an art that combines aesthetics and functionality, where elegant and streamlined furnishings create a clean and sophisticated living space. In this article, we will explore the essential steps to transform a villa into a masterpiece of modern design, including examples of furniture that perfectly embody this style.
The Basics of Contemporary Furnishing
Understanding Contemporary Style
Contemporary style is characterized by clean lines, neutral colors, natural materials, and a balanced blend of aesthetics and functionality. To furnish a villa in this style, it’s crucial to understand these fundamental principles and consistently apply them throughout the space, enhancing it with minimal chic furnishings and other modern design elements.
Choosing the Right Color Palette
Colors are a fundamental aspect of contemporary interior design. In contrast to classical style, which favors bold tones like red and gold, contemporary design focuses on neutral shades such as sand, beige, white, gray, and brown. These colors can be subtly paired with metallic accents and transparent reflections, creating spaces that appear more open and luminous.
Materials and Textures
Materials like wood, glass, and metal are key elements in defining the spaces of a contemporary villa. Glossy and reflective details, such as mirrored inserts, combined with stitching, leather, and soft fabrics, add glamour to sofas, armchairs, and bar furniture. Daring with unusual combinations of textures and details adds depth and dynamism to the interiors. A perfect example is the Cuba bed by Bazzi C8, featuring a mirrored bed frame finished with acid gold and a pleated headboard available in satin, eco-leather, or leather.
Furnishing the Main Spaces
The Living Room
The living room is the centerpiece of any luxury villa, welcoming family and guests in a relaxing environment. Choose comfortable sofas with waterproof textiles, ideal for entertaining, paired with glass or marble coffee tables. A sideboard can transform into an elegant bar cabinet, perfect for happy hour. For instance, the Copper sofa by Cuba by Bazzi, in white nubuck with a dark eucalyptus back and copper metal band, exemplifies this style.
The Kitchen
A contemporary kitchen must be functional and minimalist. Install an island with a marble top and matte finishes, and ensure to select durable finishes for countertops and cabinets. Consult an expert to determine the best finishes for surfaces subject to wear.
The Bedroom
For a relaxing atmosphere, opt for beds with smooth, rounded headboards corners, upholstered in luxurious fabrics or leathers. The City Gold C4 bench by Bazzi Group, for example, is perfect for laying out clothes or comfortably putting on shoes.
The Bathroom
A contemporary bathroom is characterized by elegance and simplicity. Large, minimalist tiles, monochromatic mosaics, suspended fixtures, and backlit mirrors are essential elements. Prefer stainless steel or brass for accessories and use marble countertops for a touch of luxury.
Details That Make the Difference
Lighting
Lighting is crucial for enhancing contemporary decor. A combination of ambient and task lighting creates a welcoming and modern atmosphere. Pendant lamps, spotlights, and integrated LED lights are excellent choices to add a touch of modernity and style.
Art and Decorations
Artwork, paintings, and large-scale photographs tastefully decorate smooth or grooved wooden walls. A few high-quality accessories prevent the risk of turning contemporary style into classical. Our mother-of-pearl painting depicting running horses is an example of modern beauty. Exotic plants add a vibrant touch of green to neutral interiors.
Integrated Technology
Integrating technology into the villa is essential for contemporary design. Home automation systems hidden in custom furniture enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of the spaces.
