Inspired by the Upper East Side – three golden rules for a glamorous interior
Some personalities are simply made to shine and sparkle. If you count yourself among them, there is no reason why your interior should not do the same! When looking for inspiration for an impressive and glamorous bathroom interior, a stop in the world’s most expensive street is an absolute must. That is why, in today’s blog post, we are sharing three tips to help you bring a touch of New York’s 5th Avenue into your bathroom in no time at all.
Tip 1: Opulent materials
What comes to mind when you think of a bedroom on New York’s Upper East Side? Exactly – above all, a chic king-size bed layered with countless cushions, throws and even more cushions. And there is a good reason for that: it makes the interior look opulent and elegant.
Cushions and throws may not belong in the bathroom, but if you want to adapt the look and bring a little New York flair into your bathroom, you should definitely opt for thick, fluffy hand towels and bath towels in neutral shades and classic patterns.
Whether herringbone, mélange or Glen plaid – the traditional patterns of our MÖVE BROOKLYN collection are timeless and recall the classically elegant wardrobe of the glamorous New Yorker. Thanks to the use of a special, refined bouclé yarn with viscose and linen content, they make a particularly striking impression and, in the understated colour combinations Nature/Black or Nature/Cashmere, become a real eye-catcher.
Tip 2: Gleaming accents
How do you create a radiant interior without it feeling too loud or ostentatious? To strike the right balance between elegance and extravagance, you should set occasional accents using metallic colours. Silver, in particular, is an ideal classic choice. In the bathroom, stainless steel accessories work especially well, because whether it is a toothbrush holder or a soap dispenser, stainless steel in bathroom interiors looks understated and stylish while still adding an extravagant touch. Our bathroom accessories from the MÖVE DECO range are made from high-quality, carefully polished stainless steel and are also distinguished by their clean design language. This makes them not only an elegant complement to all colours and patterns, but also the perfect way to create a radiant and glamorous finish.
Tip 3: An elegant personal touch
It is all about the mix! For a glamorous bathroom, you do not necessarily have to spend a fortune. Our view: a blend of exclusive elements and individually styled pieces gives your bathroom the necessary chic while also making it unique.
Vintage furniture, for example, looks especially stylish and glamorous in the bathroom. You can easily sand it down, repaint it and embellish it with elegant gold or silver handles. A wall mirror can also be transformed into a glamorous eye-catcher with very little effort – for this, you can either use an antique wooden picture frame and spray it with silver or gold paint. Or you can do as Kasie Becker does: on her blog Musing on Momentum, she shows you in a DIY tutorial how to turn an understated wall mirror into an elegant one-of-a-kind piece using a little silver or gold foil.
