Furnishing a city flat in a modern style: the complete guide

In general, city flats do not enjoy large spaces and, precisely for this reason, it is good to plan the layout of the furniture well. The final objective must be to create a functional and stylish environment. Here is the complete guide to furnishing a city flat.

To furnish a city flat with modern design, it is important that functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand. The flat must be designed around the needs of the family but, on the other hand, it must also express the personality of the person living in it.  Here are some tips and ideas for furnishing every room in the flat with style and elegance.

How to furnish a city flat: tips and ideas

In general, before thinking about furnishing a house, it is a good idea to plan the spaces and each room of the house. If the structure allows it, a good idea could be to create an open-plan living area, where the kitchen, dining room and living room are in a single living space. The open space allows both to save space, eliminating dividing walls, and to encourage conviviality and sharing. As for the choice of furnishing accessories, this depends on personal taste and the style one wants to give the house. Yet, there are some essential furnishings that absolutely cannot be missing. In addition to the basic furniture for living, a good idea is to introduce several pieces of storage furniture into the home, ideal for storing more objects and keeping things tidy. Furnishing a flat in a modern style also does not mean overloading the room with too much furniture. Rather, it is a good idea to opt for a less pronounced décor, where the few pieces of furniture are coordinated.

Modern-style flat kitchen

If the size of the flat is not very large, a good idea could be to opt for a small kitchen with an island and hob. The ultimate goal is to ensure maximum comfort even with smaller spaces. The island, in fact, is a structure that guarantees maximum functionality and familiarity, offering the possibility of having everything at one’s disposal. This, moreover, with the addition of some stools, can also be used comfortably as a breakfast table. To furnish the kitchen in a flat, one could insert a round table, ideal for small spaces and to increase conviviality. On the Arredare Moderno website, the Otab Potocco table is available, made entirely with a wooden structure. It is an ideal design solution for furnishing your kitchen with style and elegance.

Modern-style living room in a flat

The living room of a modern city flat is a room whose furnishing is anything but to be underestimated. It is, in fact, one of the most important spaces, which will receive guests by presenting them with the design of the house. A good idea is to emphasise modern furniture, with linear shapes, soft colours and designer accessories. In addition, attention should be paid to the choice of the main protagonist of the room: the sofa. You could opt for a modular sofa to adapt it to the room and create a true relaxation corner. The Bonnie Bontempi Casa angular sofa with chaise longue is available on the Arredare Moderno site. It is a sofa with a wooden frame and fabric or leather covering that is absolutely modular, capable of creating a customised piece of furniture built according to one’s tastes.

Modern-style flat bedroom

The sleeping area represents the most intimate and private place in the home, where spaces must guarantee both physical and mental rest for the person. When designing the bedroom furniture, one of the most important choices concerns the bed itself. Before choosing, in order to find the ideal location, it is best to calculate well the space, the size of the bed, and the possible distance or proximity to doors or windows. Finally, when choosing the type of bed, it is necessary to consider one’s tastes and personal needs. A good idea, for example, could be to opt for the container structure: in addition to being a real storage unit, this structure saves space in the home and keeps things tidy. On the Arredare Moderno website, the Vanity Bolzan bed represents an ideal solution for a modern and elegant bedroom. With a rounded keyboard, the bed is characterised by an absolutely versatile structure that can be adapted to any type of requirement.
