Contemporary-Style Home Ideas

Naturally Contemporary

Drama on the flat-face exteriors of contemporary-style homes comes from a dynamic mix of contrasting materials and textures, exposed roof beams, and flat or low-pitched roofs.

Here, a strong connection to nature and the surrounding landscape is established through large expanses of windows and the use of natural materials and colors. Front and back courtyards help blend indoors and out, and almost every interior room opens to the outside. Steel and concrete accents add an industrial feel, while vertical panels of board-and-batten siding create a sleek, modern exterior.
