Urban Modern Design FAQ
What is Urban Modern interior design?
Urban modern interior design is a polished style made for city living. It takes the clean lines of modern design and adds darker colors, industrial touches, refined finishes and big art.
How do I make my living room Urban Modern?
Choose a low sectional in charcoal or gray and a coffee table that mixes metal and wood. Add a leather accent chair, a sleek floor lamp and one oversized artwork. Use darker walls or textiles to add depth.
Is Urban Modern the same as Industrial?
No. Urban modern borrows some industrial accents, but it is more polished, with refined finishes and soft furnishings. Industrial style is rawer, showing exposed brick, pipes and concrete.
