For an ultra-modern scheme inspired by the look of New York City apartments, the industrial trend is your calling. Living in a city often means you’re limited on space, and storage solutions reflect this. Rebecca Snowden, Interior Style Advisor at Furniture and Choice, gives her tips for this scheme: ‘Creating a functional and inspiring space for this trend begins with efficient storage, which can be a stylish touch in itself. Choose multifunctional furniture that doesn’t take up additional floor space, such as beds with pull-out drawers and magazine racks that double as side tables. Open and metal wire shelves are also go-to storage solutions for this scheme.’ However, the industrial trend can look a little cold without some splashes of colour, so liven up the mood with modern pops of orange, turquoise and yellow for warmth.
If it’s a tight squeeze in your home office, then opt for a tall desk with shelving that makes use of the vertical space.
