When it comes to interior design styles, contemporary interior design may be the most future-thinking. Defined by clean lines, decorated minimalism, and current trends, contemporary interiors are distinctly of-the-moment—even when the moment changes. Found throughout homes, offices, and retail settings, below AD dives into just what makes this versatile style and how you can bring it into your space.
Use Large Scale Furnishings
From Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chairs to Charles and Ray Eames’s designs for Herman Miller, countless modernist furnishings have cropped up in the pages of AD through the years. Here, we take you inside a Beverly Hills mansion, a New York City duplex, a Paris apartment, and other homes that display the height of modernist design. In Mary Weatherford’s landmark midcentury-modern home in Los Angeles, art and architecture work hand in glove. “It’s a beautiful symphony of interwoven diagonals, verticals, and horizontals,” the artist says of the experimental structure, built in 1948 by architects A. Quincy Jones and Whitney R. Smith in collaboration with structural engineer Edgardo Contini and landscape designer Theodore Payne. We had to figure out which piece of wood is which color, the elaborate interplay between the posts and beams with the floor and ceiling, how certain volumes and forms interact.
Add Texture, Color, and Pattern
The black-and-white color palette is sophisticated and timeless — plus, there are endless ways to recreate the classic look. Here, House of Nomad uses crisp, white paint for the walls, a mix of black and white seating, a black light fixture and a unique wall decor display. Not only do these striking shelves take advantage of vertical space, they showcase collectibles, books and artwork and infuse color into the interior. Here, architecture and interiors studio JAM uses a mix of modern, traditional and vintage pieces for a curated look.
Paint the Walls Black
The blue lacquered cabinet Lisa Tharp used in the living room of this Boston apartment is a perfectly chic option for hiding that big black rectangle from visitors. Modern living rooms are comfortable and inviting spaces built for relaxed family time and casual entertaining. Today's living rooms include elements like ultra-comfortable seating, built-in TV walls, and a focus on natural light.
From the bare, fuss-free minimalism, industrialism, and Scandinavian interiors to the richer, modern, maximalist, and mid-century designs, we've asked experts to explain some of the most commonly used and understood styles. Local studio Debaixo do Bloco Arquitetura created an open-plan layout in this apartment, located in residential building 308S in the Brasília urban design scheme conceived by Lucio Costa and landscape architect Burle Marx. Located within Shakespeare Tower, the flat intends to fuse its original design elements with Japanese aesthetics, including tatami mats on the floor that contrast with surrounding concrete walls. Modern art pairs with more minimalist furniture in this living room designed by Brad Ramsey. Opt for a spacious sectional topped with throw pillows, a large coffee table and simple, framed artwork on a crisp, white wall.
Get comfy around a cocktail table
The black leather couch is Illum Wikkelso, and the red couch and armchairs are by Pierre Jeanneret. Scandi design reflects its Northern European heritage, exploiting the cold, sunlit, forestry regions by drawing in as much light as possible and reflecting it inside. Emphasis is placed firmly on light and comfort, specifically, hygge, which essentially means coziness and is a core component of Scandi design. Warmth is brought into the space using natural materials; wood, stone, wool, and linens and spaces are uncluttered and simple. Excessive decoration and ornaments are not encouraged, simplicity, practicality, and comfort are key to honing hygge at home. Palm trees and Pacific Ocean views aside, California’s spectacular midcentury-modern homes are one of its most memorable sights.
Layer Wallpaper and Art
Include soft furnishings, plenty of light fittings from large chandeliers and freestanding lamp stands to create comfort. To create a space that feels modern and personal, consider creative seating solutions like a curved sofa or a pair of fun accent chairs. In the 1940s and ’50s, midcentury-modern design, with its clean lines, warm woods, and bold upholstery hues (often in woolly, menswear-inspired textures), changed the way homes looked. Suddenly, less was more, and decorating a home was about finding a design where form served function—a philosophy that continues to inspire designers to this day.
Designer Brian Paquette created this warm, sunken living area in a Southern California home by using jewel tone colors and keeping the furnishings relatively close together. It goes to show that even if your living room is smaller, it doesn't have to feel cramped. Jason Statham—hero of action-thriller films like the Fast & Furious franchise, Snatch, and The Transporter—may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of midcentury-modern design fanatics.

Born in Bergamo, the dapper 38-year-old talent spent years in Milan working on marketing strategy and design for the fashionable eyewear brand Oliver Peoples. Six years ago, after being named creative director of the company, he relocated to L.A., where he oversaw the design of more than a dozen Oliver Peoples boutiques in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. “In college I studied business and industrial design, so I learned to approach business from a design perspective and vice versa. It made me realize that interior design is where my true passions lie,” Tagliaferri says. Descending to the basement, visitors are greeted by a second living room, complete with a TV area and a bar, offering a cozy and versatile space for relaxation and entertainment.
In 1961, John Lautner designed the West Hollywood home for interior designer and concert pianist Marco Wolff. For Lautner, who had apprenticed under Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s, the home was an opportunity to flex his creative muscles. What began as an arduous and almost vertical plot of land resulted in, perhaps, the acme of midcentury-modern residential architecture on the West Coast. With this home, Lautner leaned into the primal state of nature, demanding that his audience turn their preconceived notion of domesticity on its head. It was a bold statement of how humans once lived—among the trees, the rocks, perched atop a hill—and the architect stamped his thumbprint on it. To recreate this in your home consider an open plan living, which is almost de rigueur to this look.
Just keep a basket handy to stash the colorful toys you don't want on display. The Hoppuses asked Marmol Radziner to incorporate drought-resistant native plants into the garden in order to be sensitive to the California landscape. It has flowers, bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies and all kinds of cool stuff. The upper levels of the home are dedicated to the private spaces, including the master bedroom suite with its own bathroom and dressing room, as well as a nursery and nanny room. Additionally, the attic level boasts a guest bedroom and a hobby room for the homeowner, who is a talented painter.
As you’ll soon find, each one displays a fresh contemporary take on a now classic style. California offers the perfect climate and location for relaxed living and homes that blur the lines between indoors and out. The West Coast aesthetic is eclectic and often filled with bohemian touches, natural elements, exquisite vintage and antique furnishings, and plenty of bold art. From Santa Barbara to Silicon Valley, these residences from the AD archives showcase luxurious amenities, expansive views, and enviable landscaping, with styles that range from sleek and contemporary to stately and traditional. Take a peek at the homes of some of the Golden State’s most stylish residents—tech moguls and Hollywood power players alike.
