DON'T MISS A THING

If you are looking to change up your interior design and go for something with a more “now” or cosmopolitan feel, read on!

First, What Is Cosmopolitan Interior Design?  

Cosmopolitan interior design is an urban modern design style featuring varied patterns, colors, and textures. This design theme can include minimalist modern elements, edgy, experimental designs, glamorous chic, and ethnic heirlooms, all colliding in a 21st-century setting. 

Larger furniture pieces, like couches and beds, tend to be low-profile and uniformly sleek. Decorative accents, such as mirrors, pillows, and end tables, usually demand creative expression with elegant geometric designs and vintage pieces with traditional embellishment.

Now, let’s check out some top design ideas to achieve a cosmopolitan interior for your home!

Cosmopolitan Interior Design Ideas

REVAMP YOUR KITCHEN

Many households have busy kitchens. It pays off decorating where the family meals are prepared first because it’s one of the most challenging parts of a home to decorate. So, here are some tips to revamp your kitchen with a cosmopolitan vibe.

Up Your Bar Stool Game

Bar stools are a great way to add cosmo vibes to your kitchen. The standard height for kitchen stools is 24-26″ inches from floor to seat for counter stools. These are designed to pair with a table or counter 36-39″ H. Bar stools are generally 28-30″ from floor to seat, paired with a 36-39″ table or counter. These heights fit most home bars and kitchen islands for dining. Be sure to also allow 6-10″ between each bar stool to avoid crowding.

Upgrade Your Faucet

A great way to revamp your kitchen is to change your faucet. One good example is a motion sensor faucet in chrome or stainless-steel finish, where you place your hand over the sensor to activate water flow. Also, you might want to install one of the best designs of faucet-mount home water filters to complete the kitchen sink while providing safe water for cooking and drinking. 

Revamp Your Backsplash

The backsplash is the space between the kitchen countertop and the kitchen wall cabinetry. For example, a marble white tile backsplash with gray tile touches that extend to the ceiling is very cosmopolitan. You might also want to consider a mirrored backsplash finish for a glossy reflective surface, highlighted when struck by sunlight. Further, a metal finish gives the kitchen ambiance a “strong” feel with smaller metal tiles to attain a dramatic accent. 

Install a Custom Pantry

Take your kitchen to a new level by installing a custom pantry and a gold-plated island with built-in shelves for your cookbooks. It’s a smart idea to install floor-to-ceiling kitchen cabinets for plenty of storage following the open-concept kitchen. For a clean and handsome look, dark finishes, such as dark blue kitchen cabinets, are perfect. 

Update Your Lighting

Install under-cabinet LED light bars. These long, narrow lights installed onto the underside of kitchen cabinetry illuminate prep areas and countertops. For an even more cosmo feel, add a beautiful contemporary chandelier or sconces to your space.
