City Style: Create a Chicago-Inspired Space
Boasting a stunning skyline that’s best viewed from Lake Michigan, Chicago is an architectural mecca. After much of the city burned down in 1871, an eclectic mix of buildings began to crop up that channeled schools ranging from postmodernism to art nouveau. Architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Miles van der Rohe worked and lived in the city and greatly influenced its rebirth. Taking cues from the buildings outside, residents began styling interiors that were just as beautiful, and Chicago’s signature urban aesthetic was born. Any home that hopes to mirror a Chicago interior should start with eye-catching furniture that’s rooted in a blend of architectural influences.
Chicago is a popular place to live, and it’s no wonder why. The city offers an amazing restaurant and entertainment scene, and it’s the most affordable of America’s three largest cities. The downside? Chicago winters can be long, bleak, and brutally cold. The solution? Bright and airy pieces that counter the humdrum days of winter with plenty of lighting fixtures and plush pillows to keep homes cozy.
