Urban Modern

If you love elements of industrial, contemporary and minimalist styles, then the urban modern look may be the perfect fit. This style stems from cosmopolitan influence that fuses together opposing, yet complementary, design elements. Not just straight lines and sharp angles, this design has a softer side too, giving the home a hip yet comfortable and welcoming feel.
