The very fact that you are interested in redecorating your bedroom the contemporary way is that you have either seen it in a book and liked it or may be on the net or in an outlet.
The first thing, before redecorating and buying any furniture, is to understand the contemporary theme.
The most prominent features of the contemporary theme are its color and lines.
Colors would be light beige, white with contrasting black, dark chocolate brown furniture.
Simple lines and shapes are what complete this picture.
The look of the room is clean, simple, alluring, pleasing to the eye and elegant.
Bare walls and open spaces are part of this theme along with high ceilings and bare windows.
Clutter is not part of this theme so organizing personal items and discarding the unwanted would help.
Painting the walls would be the next thing on the agenda.
White, off white, beige, pale leaf green form the ideal colors for this theme.
These neutral colors make the attractive accessories placed in the room stand out.
Windows are usually open without curtains but if the need arises, due to heavy sunlight or when privacy is required in the room, straight, long contrasting colored curtain would complement this style.
The curtain rods, too, are simple that just blend with the wall.
Beds are usually low, spacious with self-color bed covers, tucked in neatly to show the edges.
Frills are not part of this theme.
A neat area rug at the foot of the bed in self-colors or geometric patterns should be placed to match the surrounding colors.
Furniture would include contrasting, dark colors that are not massive but small and elegant.
A small closet for clothes with evenly looking chest of drawers gives in to open space not only on the floor but also upwards on the walls towards the ceiling.
A stylish, well-designed mirror and dressing table would add glamour to the room, again in the same color tone and adding to the geometry in the room.
All furniture made with this style in mind is simple with straight lines with no complicated curves or elaborate designs.
Even the handles or knobs on drawers are plain without any embossing or design.
Potted plants add life to the room; tall palms look elegant when placed in the corner of the room.
Artificial plants with different color leaves brighten up the room and are also easily maintainable.
Placing them on side tables adds a little color to the simple look.
Abstract paintings in neat, black frames stand out on the wall.
Too many would cluster the walls and contradict the style, so it should be kept to a bare minimum.
A transparent jar with color stones would add glamour to the modern style, even a bowl of potpourri; a mix of your choice would enhance the fragrance in the area.
At the end of the day, you would be very happy with your room, the one place you would always come back to after a hard day, to just relax.
