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 sunroom: Small sunrooms work well as reading nooks or breakfast spots. A loveseat or two chairs with a small table is sufficient. Use vertical space for plants. Keep it uncluttered to feel spacious.
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 sunroom: Large sunrooms can serve as true secondary living spaces with distinct zones for lounging, dining, and gardening. Consider a full dining set and multiple seating groups.
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.
