Loft-style design is quite popular, it is spacious, has its own bright distinctive features and is loved by everyone who adores unconventional interiors. What should be filled with a loft in the interior of an apartment and what individual characteristics it has, let’s analyze.
Walls, floor, ceiling:
- Walls need either “lay bare” to plaster, concrete, and best of all to brickwork. If there is no possibility, then it is necessary to recreate “old” surface at least partially. Special aged wallpaper, artificial brickwork will do. Plaster with traces “wear and tear” and aging.
- The floor is traditionally laid from natural boards, with a very rough treatment, on top you can apply a layer of paint, not a very bright shade. A polished concrete floor will look very stylish, its natural gray cold shade will perfectly complement an urban loft.
- The ceiling is a visiting card of a loft in interior design, the room will have an unfinished appearance if beams, shiny duct pipes and other structures made of wires and lamps do not appear on the ceiling surface.
- Columns – a large room should be zoned, columns built on their own or preserved will help in this.
The design in the loft style, first of all, bears the imprint of a large room, an old plant or a factory, which new residents adapt to themselves, therefore, when choosing furniture, one must proceed from the premise that it is matched “by chance”. Too new and modern shiny sofas, beds and cabinets will not look too organic.
Loft-style furniture in the interior of the apartment is a set of different-sized utensils, selected to the taste of the owner. A massive armchair covered with aged leather, a bedside table, as if assembled from building pallets, hangers on an iron pipe instead of a cabinet, there is a place for imagination to roam, the main thing is to act in a unified manner.
Loft colors in interior design:
- all shades of gray, from light to almost black;
- white, but a little, and not worth using too much “clean” shades;
- red, blue – creatively fit into the interior, it is imperative to create the effect of old, possibly faded walls;
- brown, all dark range;
- silver – the color of pipes and wiring, usually there is a lot of it on the surfaces of communications.
Accessories complementing the loft-style design:
- lamps – it is advisable to place lighting elements pointwise and in large quantities, they will not only help to relax more comfortably, but also complement the loft in the interior of the apartment with the necessary industrial surroundings, nickel-plated lamps on high “legs”, unusual spots, massive iron lamps – all this can be safely assembled indoors.
- wall decorations – everything that is connected with the life of the city and reminds of various technologies can be fully or partially applied and filled with the desired mood in the loft interior design. Nuts, gears, road signs, a map of the area, graffiti, parts of mechanisms put on display are used. Both license plates and old typewriters will do..
