hi i'm ann myrick and today i'm going to showyou how to design an contemporary living room. this is a small living room and i alreadyhave a little bit of the bones kind of starting out quasi-contemporary with the rusirite chairswhich are contemporary and a few other pieces. i'm eclectic so i really like having, if youare going to have a contemporary room maybe throwing in one or two things that may bearen't totally 100% contemporary just to kind of add a little bit of energy and add a littlebit of surprise but what i'm going to do is how you how i would make this room more contemporaryvery quickly. contemporary look is more very minimal. a lot of times you take, you don'thave a lot of things so like in this situation i'm going to take this bowl down and i'm goingto move my lamp over and i'm going to take
all these little small pieces away. on this table i'm going to take the smallaccessories away. now i might add to it at some point but what i'm going to do is justcreate a real create a straight line and create just a minimal very clean very plain look.with the coffee table is really fine if for 100% contemporary person, you just take awayor add to to what your taste is. the chest would not be necessarily contemporary so youcould take away or you can really just leave them just for a little added surprise, justhave them just stark where you can see the wood. i would take away all the added pillows.over here i have two frames that are more have an architectural feel to them and a tray.you could, i would probably keep this table
because i really don't like tables that havethe exact amount of things on each one of them. this one is very minimal. this one hasa little bit more but i would keep it like that just to add to it. this is ann myrickand that is how to design a contemporary living room.
