Modern apartment - Penthouse once and today

One of the current trends in interiors is the penthouse trend, which is a luxurious version of interiors decorated in the style of a modern apartment and whose goal is to create a space that gives the impression of a premium interior, dedicated to the upper class.

The style is, of course, derived from the name and design of the apartments that began to be built in the 1920s in New York City. Initially, the name penthouse referred to additions on the roofs of skyscrapers, separate, often two-story residential structures, but very quickly began to be called simply luxury, spacious apartments "with a view" located on the upper floors of skyscrapers. Nowadays, real estate agents even call "penthouse" apartments located on the first floor, referring to their size or the style in which they are finished.

What are the characteristics of the penthouse trend?

Before we list some of the typical features of this trend, let's return for a moment to New York and the first penthouses. Having an impressive apartment with a view of the city, often also equipped with a large terrace, was a testament to success and corresponded to the amount of money one had, and these were, of course, reflected in the size of the apartment and the way the space was designed and furnished.

The penthouse trend is therefore characterized by the use of the highest quality luxury materials and furnishings, modern character, elegant, muted colors, luxurious textures, state-of-the-art appliances and technological solutions, as well as the presence of artwork and accessories of an artistic nature.
