Overwhelmed by the everyday? Keen for a break from the humdrum? Eager to dip your toes into the unconventional?<\/p>\n

Here it is. The mother lode.<\/p>\n

This massive collection of contemporary interior design ideas will delight and inspire.<\/p>\n

Contemporary design isn’t about looking to the future. It’s about grasping what’s hot today.\u00a0What’s hot may be fresh and new or it may be\u00a0revamped and timeless.<\/p>\n

Either way, it’s all about being ‘on trend’ and not in a wanky way. These ideas are all about giving your home – whether\u00a0you’re a family, a couple or a single – the latest look and feel. Kind of like getting the latest, fashionable hairdo!<\/p>\n

Discover ideas for living rooms, kitchens, main bedrooms, children’s bedrooms, and home offices as well as bachelor and bachelorette pads.<\/p>\n

Living Rooms For\u00a0Life<\/h2>\n

It might be Summer right now, but gas fireplaces\u00a0are the new black. Don’t wait until Winter to invest.<\/p>\n

Seasons aside, blue is an ‘all weather’ colour in interior design so don’t be shy about embracing the moody blues.<\/p>\n

If neutral tones are more your thing, use detail to give the room some pizzazz: splashes of colour, a red sofa or even a stump.<\/p>\n

Dig out your old wedding photos and give your favourite photo new life with a beautiful canvas print. Discover more photo print ideas in our personalised gifts<\/a> feature.<\/p>\n

Bedroom Business<\/h2>\n

If you have kids, it’s often hard to find a place to truly relax. Don’t forget the bedroom!<\/p>\n

Create a relaxing space to unwind rather than just sleep no matter how small or large. Add a couch, a chair, a desk or simply deck it out like it’s the most important place in the world. And it is. It’s all yours.<\/p>\n

The best thing about contemporary interior design is that it can be as simple or as complex as you please. This is great news for blokes who tend to lean towards the minimalist side of things.<\/p>\n

The good news is that you can do minimalism well on any budget. Love a bit of hipster? Perfect. Love preppy? No problems.<\/p>\n

Working from home doesn’t have to feel isolating if you take time to develop the right space, the right look and the right light.<\/p>\n

Comfortable doesn’t have to mean boring. Style doesn’t have to mean dull. Think outside the traditional office chair and let loose with a chair with flair.<\/p>\n
