Urban style living: ideas for small city apartments

Clever furnishing in an urban style

Capture the inspiration of the big city and give your own four walls an urban flair. Old buildings often have a special charm that should be preserved. They also offer the opportunity to furnish your home in an urban style and create a very special living environment. How can you retain the charm of an old building while increasing its practicality? This requires sensitivity in choosing decorations and a skilled hand in planning.

Smart living, urban lifestyle

Right in the heart of the city, yet completely your own space: we show you how modern living works in a small space—with smart solutions, clean lines, and urban flair. Be inspired by a style that combines functionality with individuality.

The Urban Style Kitchen

A real wood kitchen front emphasizes the character of the building style and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. A touch of rusticity is retained, while the absence of wall cabinets creates a modern, design-oriented look.

    The neoBOX drawer and pull-out system brings design to the interior of the cabinet and is one of the elements that every nolteneo kitchen is equipped with. The narrow side frame impresses with its simple elegance – nothing detracts from the look. The neoBOX offers optional lighting for the pull-outs. The LED light strip is attached to the right and left of the frame, creating a very special atmosphere and providing a good overview when opening.

Utility room

The well-thought-out design of Nolte kitchens also extends to utility rooms. There are numerous options for functional cabinet elements here. A seemingly ordinary side cabinet reveals generous storage space and, surprisingly, even a fully integrated utility room.

Unlimited connectivity

Nolte LIVING breaks down the traditional separation between the kitchen and living area to create a seamless connection. This creates open and airy spaces in which the kitchen is not only a functional place for preparing meals, but also becomes a social hub. This integration allows residents to cook, eat, and relax at the same time without having to compromise on stylish design and practical layout.
