Is your aesthetic Zen, minimalist, modern, or refined?

Is your aesthetic Zen, minimalist, modern, or refined?

Sharjah : 22 July 2024

With its sleek design, Nesba at Aljada is an ideal canvas to unleash your home décor goals for a stylish and contemporary living space. 

If you’re planning your future home, look no further than these contemporary design styles, complete with options for color palettes, furniture placement and decorative accents that you can personalize to reflect your vibe. By incorporating elements of Zen, minimalism, modern design, or refined aesthetics, you can transform your stunning Nesba space into a stylish and contemporary sanctuary.

While you’re at it, make the most of the view; each Nesba home comes with a private balcony with views of the park or boulevard, while some apartments extend the living space on to the balcony, akin to a winter garden.

Let’s take a look at these four interior design styles and pick the one that’s right for your Nesba abode:

Zen: Finding serenity in simplicity

• Color palette: Embrace a calming palette of soft whites, muted grays, and earthy tones like beige, taupe, and olive green. These hues create a serene backdrop for your Zen oasis.
• Furniture placement: Opt for low-profile furniture with clean lines and natural materials. A low platform bed, a simple wooden coffee table, and floor cushions for seating create a relaxed and grounded atmosphere. Leave plenty of open space to promote a sense of calm and airiness.
• Decorative accents: Incorporate natural elements like bamboo plants, smooth river stones, and a small tabletop fountain. A Japanese shoji screen can be used to divide space and add a touch of Zen elegance. Consider hanging a calming piece of nature-inspired artwork, such as a landscape painting or a photograph of a serene forest.

Minimalist: Embracing the beauty of less

• Color palette: Stick to a neutral palette of white, gray, and black. Introduce subtle accents of color with a single piece of art or a colorful throw pillow.
• Furniture placement: Choose furniture with clean lines and simple shapes. A modular sofa, a sleek dining table with matching chairs, and a minimalist bed frame create a streamlined look. Avoid clutter by storing items out of sight and keeping surfaces clear.
• Decorative accents: Less is more in minimalist design. A single piece of statement art, a carefully curated collection of books, or a few sculptural objects can add personality without overwhelming the space. A large indoor plant can bring a touch of nature indoors.

Modern: A celebration of contemporary design

• Color palette: Modern design embraces a wide range of colors. Neutral tones like white, gray, and beige can be used as a base, while bold accents of color like turquoise, orange, or fuchsia can add energy and vibrancy. Geometric patterns and graphic prints can also be used to create visual interest.
• Furniture placement: Open floor plans are characteristic of modern design. Arrange furniture to create distinct zones within the space, such as a living area, a dining area, and a workspace. Choose furniture with sleek lines and innovative designs. A statement sofa with a bold color or unique shape can become a focal point of the room.
• Decorative accents: Incorporate a mix of materials like glass, metal, and wood. Geometric light fixtures, abstract art, and sculptural objects can add visual interest. Consider adding a touch of nature with a few well-placed indoor plants.

Refined: Cultivating an air of sophistication

• Color palette: Opt for a rich and luxurious palette of jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red. Combine these with neutral tones like beige, cream, and gray for balance and harmony.
• Furniture placement: Choose furniture with classic designs and plush fabrics. A tufted velvet sofa, a wingback chair, and a carved wooden coffee table create an inviting and opulent atmosphere. A large area rug can help to define the space and add warmth.
• Decorative accents: Crystal chandeliers, gilded mirrors, and antique pieces add a touch of luxury. Decorative pillows with rich textures and metallic accents can enhance the refined aesthetic. A collection of curated artwork or photographs can add personality and interest.
