Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Urban modern was made for small city spaces. Multi-functional furniture is key: storage ottomans, Murphy beds, expandable tables. Go vertical with tall shelving, use mirrors strategically, and embrace the cozy darkness rather than fighting it. For a small boardroom: Small boardrooms (6-8 seats) suit smaller organizations or secondary boardrooms. Maintain quality and presence despite smaller scale.
Large Space Tips
In lofts or larger apartments, create distinct zones for living, working, and entertaining. Use area rugs and furniture groupings to define spaces. Statement artwork and lighting can scale up dramatically. In a larger boardroom: Large boardrooms (18+ seats) handle full board meetings, shareholder events, and major presentations. Impressive presence with full technology and hospitality.
Budget-Friendly
Article and IKEA offer sleek, affordable pieces. Thrift stores in cities often have great leather and industrial finds. Paint an accent wall dark, invest in one statement art piece, and focus on quality lighting that sets the mood.
Luxury Approach
Source designer furniture from B&B Italia, Minotti, or Cassina. Commission original artwork from established artists, invest in professional lighting design, and consider architectural additions like exposed steel beams.
