Industrial & Urban Living: The New York Edge

The Urban Living style, rooted in the 1960s New York “loft” aesthetic, is a modern and sophisticated approach to interior design. It is defined by a stylish blend of industrial and modern elements.

Urban Design Essentials

• Raw Infrastructure: The style is characteristic for its use of raw materials such as concrete, metal, and exposed brick.

• The Soft Edge: To keep the space livable, raw materials are combined with elegant furniture and soft textiles to create a harmonious look.

• Space Management: Furniture is often minimalist, with an emphasis on functionality and space-saving design, perfect for city living.

• Architectural Features: A classic example of this style is the New York-style glass partition, which creates a raw aesthetic and defines zones without blocking light.

Designing for Calm in the City

Despite its “hard” materials, Urban Living focuses on muted tones to create a sense of calm and balance within a bustling city environment.

• Color Palette: The palette is dominated by black, gray, and brown, along with other neutral tones that highlight the textures of the raw materials.
