"Simple Urban is a clean, uncluttered style"

Simple Urban style decor is a combination of vintage and contemporary with natural fabrics, medium to dark toned woods, rich neutral colors and decor accents of iron and glass.

And, the overall Simple Urban decorating style is spacious and uncluttered.

Antique pieces with clean lines (no Victorian here) and flea market finds are integrated into the decor as a counterpoint to the sleek urban style.

Unique accent pieces, vintage or new, take the spotlight in this decorating style.

With Simple Urban style decor, you'll find a color palette comprised of shades of tan, gold, cream, brown and black, with bold accent colors to give drama and excitement to the area.

As you decorate your space, you might find some great upholstery at a flea market or consignment shop, or purchase new, it doesn't matter as long as you maintain the overall clean look of urban style decor and love the piece.

The same applies to lighting - you may install some track lighting in one area and find a great antique lamp for another.

What other design elements are found in Simple Urban decorating style?

You'll find wood or tile floors with area rugs, with the rugs comprised of a natural weave such as sisal, or you could take a different path and create a bold look with a very colorful rug.

Your case goods, whether vintage, flea market or newly purchased, will be of a medium to dark wood tone, and may have accents of iron or glass.

Creating a unique look with unmatched pieces will enhance your Simple Urban home decor, so use your creativity to find some great end tables, bookcases, dining sets and the like.

Window treatments can be as simple as a window shade for privacy with fabric side panels hung on iron rods. You may opt for wood blinds, shutters, verticals, or nothing at all to cover the windows. Use fabric sparingly, as you don't want a treatment that is over dressed.

Your final touches will pull everything together in your Simple Urban style home. Accessories can be big, bold and colorful, vintage, reproduction or contemporary.

As with your other selections, if you find a piece that you love, then use it. Be mindful of how much you put into your space and always avoid the cluttered, messy look. Each piece should have it's own presence.
