Cosmopolitan Chic

The autumn winter season is all about creating interior spaces that are chic and stylish as well as providing a practical and functional finish within your home. A COSMOPOLITAN CHIC interior design brings together the sleek, designer tones of city interior design with simple yet striking colour schemes that will create style and elegance within your chosen room. This type of interior design is perfect for both modern and classic home interiors and can be used to alongside a wide variety of furniture items and accessories.

A simple monochrome colour palette is perfect for a cosmopolitan interior design and will create a masculine edge in any room of the home. Opt for alternating monochrome walls or striped or geometric patterned wallpaper that can also include metallic elements for added luxury and opulence. For a more tonal and cosy cosmopolitan feel then why not use a grey colour palette focusing on tonal dove grey right through to charcoal and use a striking tree or branch style wallpaper for an elegant and refined look. With these rich masculine colour palettes you could also include some soft dusky tones such as mauve, duck egg, mint and lemon that will add a pop of colour whilst retaining this chic and refined finish within your home interior. Grey and pastel wallpapers look wonderful with this colour scheme and add a feminine touch to your chosen cosmopolitan interior.

Use a variety of textures and finishings across your soft furnishings to create a perfect balance of streamlined sophistication and chic cosiness. Opt for plain cotton, velvet or satin curtains in deep black or soft grey tones to create a focal point across your window. areas. Team these with a variety of dark leather upholstered sofas and armchairs that can be given a cosy finish with some grey, white or pastel cushions featuring geometric patterns, stripes or even faux fur and Mongolian finishes to create an eye catching feature within the room. Chesterfield style armchairs look perfect in a cosmopolitan interior space and these can be used alongside your sofas, to create a reading nook in the corner of a room or as a chic space to sit in a dressing room interior. You can also use this Chesterfield style design on a headboard with a leather, velvet or satin upholstered finish with button or diamanté detailing.

White high gloss furniture looks wonderful in a contemporary chic interior space or for a more classic feel include some white painted furniture with oak accents that will give a hint of refined and traditional elegance. Black gloss and clear glass furniture items will also create a sleek cosmopolitan finish while still providing a sense of space and light with the reflective surface areas. Include a large central chandelier in metal or crystal finishes that will take pride of place in the centre of a room; these can be complemented with coordinating lampshades that can be displayed on a side table or sideboard area. Include a variety of chrome, rose gold or copper accessories that will compliment both masculine and feminine colour schemes and complete your cosmopolitan interior design.
