Dubai High-Rise Apartments - Interior Design Trends -
Thanks to the spate of high-rise developments seen in 2014 in Dubai, more people than ever before are making their homes in high-rise apartment complexes. One of the most recently planned developments in Dubai, for example – the development planned by Hard Rock International (set for completion in 2015), has more than 100 stories, and all of their residential apartments will be higher than the 30th floor. So, with the trend for high-rise cosmopolitan living growing in Dubai, people have been asking – how do you make the most of space in a high-rise apartment? Read on and we offer three top tips on how to create maximise the space available in a high-rise Dubai apartment.
Making rooms merge with outdoor spaces
Chances are, in a high-rise Dubai apartment you will have a balcony. However, many balconies are self-contained spaces where brick, and walls can create a feeling of claustrophobia. You get that feeling of being boxed-in and you may even have to negotiate a step to gain access to the outdoor part of the home. One of the top interior design tips trending in 2014 is the idea of merging outdoor and indoor spaces, by separating them with ground to roof reinforced, sliding glass doors or windows which create a light, airy atmosphere in even the stuffiest of locations. This instantly gives the impression that the indoor space is merged with what is outdoors and hey presto – you have just added space, value and sophistication to your high-rise apartment!
Use colour wisely and make use of glass furnishings
The simplest of things can make the biggest differences when it comes to the creation of space in your high-rise apartment in Dubai. Choosing a crisp white, or off-white colour scheme instantly creates the illusion of more space and air in an apartment. Placing glass furnishings in a high-rise apartment is a classic space-saver. The glass table top, or even a glass coffee table or nest of tables creates the illusion of space but ensures that practicality and utility are not sacrificed as a result. With glass furniture – you have the best of both worlds.
Innovative interiors When space is a factor, you have to get innovative with your interior, and in many cases this means thinking of how you can use one thing for two purposes. So, don’t just buy a bed, buy a bed that has a hidden storage compartment. Don’t just buy a footstool, when you can buy an ottoman that conceals a handy storage compartment. There are so many ways to innovate. You can buy folding items of furniture that you can fold away out of sight when not in use – a folding storage basket, or a folding guest bed can add to the space available in an apartment. You don’t need to have a separate washer and dryer, when you can buy one machine that does both jobs! The possibilities to innovate are endless and you can have fun thinking of how to create the most innovative interior around!
