Both urban chic and contemporary are styles that feature a gorgeous visual output. So what happens when you combine them? How do you combine them? If you want to know, let’s take a look below:

1. 50 shades of beige and white

An urban chic home is best represented by dull and cool colours, but you have to brighten it up when you want to bring in a sense of contemporary. This living room is a great example of how to successfully merge the two aesthetics. Done in lush whites and understated greys, there are hints of beige and gold all around the space that just blow you away with their refined beauty.

2. Reflect it back

A beautiful way to merge urban chic with contemporary is to keep things minimalist. You can do so with a twist and without making your home feel empty and bereft by cladding an entire wall in a reflective mirror. You can see in this image how it really brings out the best in the space without putting in much effort at all. The seamless reflection of one statement wall on another just makes things so visually interesting.

3. Bringing on the fabric accents

You can contemporize your urban chic home interior by introducing lots of fabric accents. They don’t have to be too in-your-face. You can use them in moderation throughout the space. Take this bedroom as your prime example. While most of the surfaces are neat, clean, and austere, the plush silver-grey upholstered headboard brings a whole new vibe to the space. That’s how you do it.

4. Understated pattern intensity

Another way to go urban chic with a contemporary twist is by introducing the subtlest patterns in your interior designs. You can get inspired by this kitchen interior. The white herringbone backsplash keeps things understated yet interesting while the simple materials and colour scheme does the rest. It’s definitely something that exudes timeless sophistication.

5. Just one shapely contrast

While the urban chic vibe is all about being clean and straight-laced, you can bring in a bit of contemporary with just a single round object for shapely contrast. This bathroom is a prime example of this phenomenon. The cleanly designed fixtures set the tone for urban chic and the round mirror balances with a bit of contemporary!
