Picking one specific type of design when it comes to changing up the style in your home or office space can make all the difference when it comes to creating one, cohesive look. The only issue is that when it comes to switching things up, many people don’t seem to know the difference between styles like modern, contemporary, industrial and so forth.
So to help you out a bit, here’s a little overview: 
Modern – This particular type of design emulates the 1920’s-1950’s era and refers to one defined style that will remain that way forever. Often recognized as Mid-Century Modern, this style is recognized for being clean and uncluttered, often featuring neutral or natural colors. Living and working spaces that are created using a modern style are often designed for functionality, allowing the overall look radiate simplicity.
Contem
porary – Though this style is often confused for being modern, there are actually many big differences between the two. For starters, while modern design is a singularly defined style from a particular time period, contemporary design is ever changing and designed for what’s “in” at that particular moment. Where modern is all about strong lines, contemporary loves curves and boldness.
Industrial – Industrial décor shows a big emphasis on manufacturing and mechanics, highlighting raw, unfinished-looking pieces. A lot of people who are interested in exploring the idea of an industrially-styled home or office space are interested in creating an organic environment, playing up the space’s natural elements.
