Urban Chic

Modern city interiors are sophisticated and sleek and create a contemporary feel in any room of the home. URBAN CHIC interior design brings together sleek and minimal designs with chic colour palettes and accessories to create a refined interior that is perfect for any modern metropolis. By combining modern furniture with loft style interior designs you can create a room that is cosy yet polished.

There are a variety of colour palettes that work well in an urban chic interior design. For a simple and minimal interior look then opt for a crisp monochrome colour palette with accented pops of bold or neon colours and include an abstract and geometric patterned wallpaper on a main feature wall for an added modern element. For a cosier and inviting loft style interior opt for more natural colour palettes featuring muted cream, white and greys and include some wood or brick effect wallpaper on a large feature wall, fireplace or alcove area. Textured wallpaper also makes a great addition to an urban home interior, suede effect, linen effect and quilted effect wallpaper can be used to compliment a wide variety of colour schemes.

The beauty of an urban home interior is that it can be accompanied by a wide variety of furniture styles and can be mixed and matched for a more unique interior finish. Painted furniture designs in cream, grey or white paint finishes will compliment a chic and elegant colour palette and will look particularly striking in a living room, dining room or bedroom interior. If you prefer a more minimal and modern look then select some white, grey or black high gloss furniture that will create a sleek and streamlined finish in any room of the home. A more industrial, loft style interior design can be achieved with a selection of vintage wood and metal furniture that gives a well-loved character to any urban interior.

Bohemian style interior accessories work well with an urban chic interior design. A selection of monochrome patterned cushions can be teamed with some chunky knitted cushions and throws, faux fur designs and crocheted items that will create pattern and texture within your chosen room. Alternatively select some masculine leather and suede cushions that can be scattered along a chesterfield style sofa or on a bed with a chesterfield buttoned headboard. Select wall art that features cosmopolitan landscapes, underground maps, cocktails and magazine covers for a sleek and sophisticated finish.
