People often confuse modern with contemporary design. Modern on one hand is sleek, contemporary on the other hand is fluid. Contemporary design does not adhere to any particular style, it adapts to its surroundings. 

I’m sure you've seen high ceilings, old timber and dangling fixtures with sparse functional furniture spaces, that’s the Industrial aesthetic for you. Drawing inspiration from warehouses and urban lofts, this aesthetic has a raw appeal, 

Scandinavian design pays tribute to the simplistic way of life demonstrated in Nordic countries. Although it is simple and understated it seems like a work of art. There is functionality in the furniture and an all white minimalistic look.  

The traditional design aesthetic offers a classic detailed look with luxury furnishings and umpteen accessories. It finds its roots in European sensibilities.
