Just like your wardrobe is an expression of your personality, your furniture is a reflection of you and your home. Your furniture design style is as much a reflection of your personality as your hobbies and lifestyle. Just as first impressions are important in the first five seconds of an in person meeting, the same holds true for your home or apartment. One revolution in furniture design has been the shift toward contemporary furniture. Having contemporary furniture in your residence will immediately share with others your vision and style. Renting contemporary furniture will help you project your style with ease and sophistication. This contemporary furniture rental ensemble is elegant and sophisticated. What is contemporary style? The term “contemporary furniture” generally describes furniture design trends that developed in the late nineties. The evolution of modern design, contemporary furniture encompasses a wide and flexible range of styles and techniques that fit together. The hallmark of contemporary furniture is the use of progressive materials and techniques that emphasizes functionality and accessibility with a style of simplicity. With contemporary furniture – less is more in form and function. In contrast to traditional use of heavy, large woods and deeply-patterned, thick fabrics, contemporary furniture design employs lighter and smoother designs, geometry, and polished metals to create a sense of clean coolness and lightness. Don’t think, however, that contemporary design is cold or bleak. Contemporary design integrates interesting patterns and textures – think bamboo and metal – to create a seamless and modern image. Contemporary design also draws on global influences, like Asian, Swedish, and African design, to incorporate a particularly forward-thinking sensibility. Contemporary design integrates nature and green design, drawing inspiration from nature and utilizing materials and designs that are eco-friendly. Contemporary design provides a flexibility and modern style to your furniture. How do I incorporate contemporary furniture into my home or apartment? Think about your needs and the purpose of the room. Contemporary design is flexible and can add wonderful elements to home or office designs. Start out with a central, contemporary piece and build around it. For a living room, select a modern, sleek wall unit. For a conference room, a table of polished wood will really set the tone. One great way to incorporate contemporary design is to rent contemporary furniture. If you are new to contemporary design, renting will help you rest assured that this style is right for you. If you are a long-time devotee of this style, renting contemporary furniture works great for you, too. By renting furniture, you can keep up with the latest trends and styles of contemporary design.

The architectural vocabulary draws upon British Colonial precedents in the West Indies with masonry-stucco walls, a standing seam metal hip roof with a kick at the eaves, a wooden balcony supported by wood brackets on the more public street facade, and a wooden gallery atop hefty masonry columns framed with wood brackets on the more private waterfront façade. These features have been developed and refined over hundreds of years to accommodate comfortable living in the Caribbean and have evolved into a living tradition of beautiful vernacular architecture that is, as a result, truly sustainable. The covered outdoor spaces in conjunction with the protected courts, deep overhangs and operable wood shutters provide a sustainable home that respects the context and climate, maximizes energy-efficiency and minimizes environmental impact. The simple massing and layout of this house with its simple and flexible spaces can accommodate many different family types and lifestyles and can even change uses as market demands change over time. These characteristics together with a timeless elegance and beauty support the firmness, commodity and delight required for truly sustainable living.
