Floors: Consider using hardwood floors, tile or other hard or resilient flooring. Use area rugs to soften up the feel of the room and to aid in sound reduction. Contemporary interiors are minimal and like streamlined appeal.

Furniture:  Similarly to flooring, furniture should be streamlined and less ornamentation than traditional furniture styles. Choose materials such as leather, neutral colored upholstery, tweed, and tight fibered textiles for your furniture choices. Furniture with straight and minimal legs will make your furniture look more stream lined.
