Buying houses for sale Lago Maggiore means not only having the chance to live in prestigious properties but also choosing among the most diverse styles. 


If you have decided to furnish your house in New York style, then the first elements to take into account are the walls. We suggest using white or soft and light colours, and an even better choice could be the exposed brick wall, which gives the living or the spacious Lago Maggiore villas a sense of urban touch. Another element you could add to your wall are the stickers, obviously in modern and contemporary style, and why not, also a brick fireplace, undisputed star when it comes to home parties with friends and family in winter.

NEW YORK STYLE FURNISHINGS: THE ACCESSORIES

For your house at Lago Maggiore, we suggest using vintage and also pop-art items. As for the second ones, people especially love prints and posters with bright colours, but also vintage objects like jukeboxes, radios, ethnic ornaments: all elements that, when mixed perfectly, create a unique and irresistible multicultural atmosphere. 


Also the spot lightings play an important role in furnishing your house: use spotlights and floor lamps.

NEW YORK STYLE APARTMENT


Imagine living in one of our beautiful apartments for sale in Stresa and having the possibility of playing with spaces as you like. One of our suggestions is to design your apartment in Stresa by creating a modern open space, with a minimalist sleeping area and a welcoming living room with an open kitchen, better if equipped with a central island and stools all around. 


And for the touch of a true connoisseur, we suggest using the exposed pipes, such as the beams under the ceiling, or the large windows to illuminate the whole environment in a uniform and continuous way. Don't be afraid to even dare with false partition walls, made of glass and why not, with shelves and panels in refined and finely decorated materials.
