Serving Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, OH, Bova Contemporary Furniture is a leader in creating sleek, modern designs for home, office, and outdoor furniture. While these experts know exactly what makes their contemporary furniture stand out from the rest, the average homeowner might not know the differences between today’s new designs and transitional styles.

To help you decide whether your home is best suited for transitional or contemporary furniture, the team at Bova Contemporary Furniture is sharing some of the key differences below.

Transitional Furniture

Transitional styles are a mesh of classic shapes and current looks. These pieces are functional above all else, and do not draw attention to themselves. There’s no fanciness when it comes to transitional furniture — neutral colors and boxy, traditional frames are typical features of transitional styles. Homeowners who prefer a simple, minimalist approach to interior design might prefer to go the transitional route.

Contemporary Furniture

Contemporary styles are eye-catching and emphasize current trends. With curved lines, an array of colors, and bold designs, contemporary furniture is meant to act as a focal point in your home, office, or outdoor setting — rather than blending in as part of the backdrop. Individuals who like to play around with style and enjoy switching things up might prefer contemporary furniture over transitional options.

Keep in mind that there are no rules when it comes to mixing and matching furniture styles. It’s up to you to determine the right blend for your home. If you’ve purchased exclusively transitional pieces but would like to incorporate some contemporary styles, you can always start with a small accessory or a large statement piece such as a desk or couch and go from there.

Contemporary furniture is about being playful and having fun in your space.
