From Future New York New Development Model Homes Showcasing the Latest Design Trends

By CityRealty Staff Thursday, January 6, 2022

Top developments routinely collaborate with the country's best interior designers to create eye-catching model homes that are neutral to prospective buyers yet forward-thinking in many ways. While sales and marketing teams are understandably skittish about scaring off potential buyers through overly bold elements, they do provide a glimpse of current design and furniture trends in a way that beautifully showcases the building's architecture, interiors, and views.

This round-up of new model units comes at a time when many of us are spending significantly more time at home and are enduring the malaise of the Omicron wave. While we can't all afford an interior designer, we can take a look at the listings below and find inspiration to make our own apartments a bit more comfortable and cheery with timeless furniture and impressive accents.
