Elegant furnishings for a modern-style attic: tips and design ideas

In recent years, the penthouse has become an increasingly popular and trendy solution, especially when living in large cities. Here are some design tips and ideas for furnishing a modern and elegant penthouse with style.

Full of charm and elegance, the term penthouse generally refers to the top large floor of a building, with a very large space and a breathtaking view over the entire city. Here are some tips, suggestions and design solutions for creating a modern and elegant attic.

The penthouse and its main features

As a rule, the penthouse is characterised by two key features: width and a wide view. These are very large rooms where, as a rule, one tends to opt for open-space furnishing, so as to create a uniform and harmonious furnishing style between the indoor and outdoor areas. One of the main characteristics of these rooms are certainly the large windows that, in addition to offering the possibility of admiring the outside panorama, represent an excellent design solution. Even if one decides to opt for modern furniture, the use of natural materials such as wood and stone is always welcome in these rooms. These, in fact, are able to create a perfect combination of elegance, functionality and tradition. Moreover, in the case where the ceiling has different heights, a good idea can be to intersect different rooms by exploiting the space, such as a bedroom or a small study. This solution will be able to give dynamism and originality to the environment. Finally, as far as colours are concerned, it is a good idea to opt for bright and particular palettes, capable of enhancing the brightness of the environment.

Modern and elegant penthouse: what must not be missing from the furnishings?

When you want to furnish a penthouse, it is good to know that this environment prefers functional furnishing accessories that, unlike others, stand out for their unique and original aesthetics. Every piece of furniture and furnishing, in fact, must contribute to increasing the charm and distinctiveness of such an environment. Consequently, accessories, objects and design details are absolutely essential elements in the furnishing of a modern penthouse. Carpets, chandeliers, floor lamps, fabrics, mirrors, paintings, every element must communicate personality and create the right atmosphere. For example, available on the Arredare Moderno website is Slamp’s The Lightning Archives floor lamp. This is a floor lamp made of technopolymer and is characterised by brilliant effects enhanced by a unique design.

Elegant interior design for a penthouse

Regardless of the choice of style, whether classic or modern, the interior design of a penthouse is characterised by maximum elegance and scrupulous attention to every detail. Without ever abandoning functionality and comfort, furnishing a penthouse means first of all focusing on aesthetics and design quality. Furthermore, it is a good idea not to focus on an excessive number of pieces of furniture, but to prefer a few pieces of furniture with great charm and visual impact. To furnish the living area, a fundamental choice concerns the undisputed protagonist of the room, the sofa. A good idea is to opt for a large and imposing model that does not remain unnoticed. For example, the Dakota Bontempi Casa 3-seater linear sofa, available in the Arredare Moderno catalogue, is made with a steel base and covered in fabric or leather. It is a relevant structure, ideal for adding cosiness and elegance to the interior.

Elegant outdoor furniture for a penthouse

In general, the penthouse is a type of dwelling that is already characterised by absolute prestige due to its location. To furnish the outdoor area of a penthouse, a good idea could be to create a real relaxation area, with sofas, armchairs and a coffee table, to have the possibility to admire the view in comfort. If you have a very large space available, you could also include a real gazebo in the furniture, so as to create a sort of protected outdoor living area. Finally, a solution that has become increasingly popular in recent years is to insert a bar corner, equipped with a counter, stools and everything else you need. On the Arredare Moderno site, among the various proposals, the Nova Myyour counter is available. It is a structure made of polyester with a modern and linear design, ideal to enhance the outdoor furnishing of an attic.
