New York is probably the most dichotomous city in the whole world. From the chic elegance of the Upper East Side to the hipster magic of Brooklyn, there are all sorts of design ideas that get shuffled around in the city. However, the sleek elegance of a penthouse suite located in the most posh area of the city is probably the kind of look you must go for when renovating your home. Here are 5 easy ways you can make your flat look like a fancy New York apartment:
1. Slick and open

The very first thing that you need to do in order to emulate the New York aesthetic is to make your space look as glamorous and spacious as possible. A nicely design open floor plan can take care of the spaciousness, but you have to be very careful about the right material selection if you want to emulate glamor. Go for high-gloss laminates like the media wall in this image with subtle mirror accenting as done for the feature wall behind the dining table.
2. Lighting and glitz

Lighting is the perfect way to imbue glamor within any space. You just have to find the right way to articulate the glitz within the space. Recessed lighting is an excellent way to emulate a beautiful glitzy aura that is reminiscent of a New York apartment. You can run recessed designs in either your walls or your ceiling depending on your style of interior design.
3. Slick furniture

Furniture is an integral part of articulating any kind of design, and when you’re trying to bring in the Upper East Side aesthetic in your homes, you’ll need to have some amazing furniture to complement your home. A creamy white sectional with soft tufting and some contrasting throw pillows is the perfect fixture to spice up the overall look with furnishings.
4. Transparency

Bedrooms are usually small in size, which is why you need to go the extra mile to emulate luxury within them. You can evoke the New York vibe by featuring large window portals, using materials like leather and suede and controlling the size of your furnishings.
