MIXED ELEMENTS

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

KEY FEATURES

The main features of an urban style are a clean, open space and exposed brick, concrete and wood. The key is to use contrasting but complementary furniture, fabrics and materials. Think of a floor made of natural looking material, for example wood, stone or concrete.

FURNITURE

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

COLOR PALLET

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.

OUTSTANDING PIECES

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