Any good online resource for me to learn more about decorating my new home in modern contemporary theme?
I have seen some nice photos from the renovation interior design gallery on the modern contemporary style, which uses a lot of white, red and black colour element. We would like to make one for our new home but we are on a low budget so the interior designing company is not a option for us.
We hope to DIY on this modern contemporary style / theme. Is there any good online resource or online shop which we could get more information and product on modern contemporary design theme?
In my opinion, there are a lot of good sources online with very good categorization on the themes that you wish to refer. It is always nice to flip a magazine but it is pretty hard to filter only the target material that you wish to refer, in a good quantity and quality, isn’t it?
Contemporary bedroom design is about simplicity. This design style is anchored around clean lines and very little accessories. It is perfect for people who want a streamlined, modern look for their room.
Probably you will need to consider these few factors when you are designing a modern contemporary theme:
1. Choose the Right Colors – Paint the walls a neutral colour.
2. Simplify your Furniture – Look for small furniture pieces in light wood finishes
3. Setting the Mood with Low Lighting – Choose light fixtures with, as always, clean lines
4. Adding Some Texture – Try adding a rug.
5. The Finishing Touches – Try applying simple, plain artwork, black and white painting
I can give you the companies that sale modern/ contemporary style tile, cabinet and lighting. Hopefully you’ll get some ideas from their websites. Keep in mind, just because it’s modern doesn’t mean it’s more costly.

I find books and magazines are MUCH better sources for ideas and products than anything available online. Go to a bookstore and pick up some mags like "Dwell" or "Contemporary Home" or check their discount books areas for any of the home design books by the British designer Sir Terence Conran.
You could also Google "contemporary home design blog" and find websites posted by individuals and decorators with room shots and links to product sources.

Even HGTV has a section on contemporary design. Check out this kitchen!! Anyway, look through the site and you can find some ideas you can do yourself.
