MIXED ELEMENTS

With its practical, robust interior full of industrial and vintage elements, the New York loft remains a significant source of inspiration for urban interiors. Robust, tactile materials such as metal, concrete, canvas, and wood create a quirky, tough atmosphere.

KEY FEATURES

The main features of an urban living style are a clean, open space and exposed bricks, concrete, and wood. The most important thing is to use contrasting yet complementary furniture, fabrics, and materials. Consider a floor made of natural-looking material, such as wood, stone, or concrete.

 

FURNITURE

Furniture is one of the most important elements in an urban living style; use contrasting and complementary colours, objects, or materials. You can opt for a more comfortable and softer look by choosing natural furniture with clean lines, vintage decor, and large pieces of furniture for a minimalist touch. Or you can opt for a bold statement piece. Choose patterned rugs, floor-to-ceiling curtains, or large works of art, such as a Wandkraft.

COLOUR PALETTE

The colours of an interior with an urban living style are usually earthy and neutral, such as green, brown, and yellow. For accents, you can choose a bold and slightly lighter colour, such as blue, purple, orange, and white.

 

MATERIALS

Most furniture can be made of wood or metal, but for sofas, you can choose a natural fabric, leather, or velvet.

 

STATEMENT PIECES

By incorporating some striking pieces into your interior, you give it a chic and industrial look without losing its minimalist character.
