History of the loft style

His birth, the style in question is due to the leaders of American factories of the 1940s, who began to use the attic premises first. They placed either additional production facilities, or, most importantly, they built up living quarters for workers. In such rooms left a rough brickwork, pipes, old beams, untreated plaster, reinforcement.

Later, such features began to be used specifically to design a full-fledged housing, and "attic" brutality became an indispensable attribute of a peculiar, original style. Approximately from the mid-80's lofts were given a new status and began to be positioned as elite, glamorous housing. In the modern architectural world, this style is at the peak of the highest popularity.

In such a studio, a place for a biker-artist and his noisy friends. The furniture was chosen by the designer for a "rough" loft.

Forgery for loft style. The problem of the designer when decorating an interior is to find a brick of the past.

The spacious room of something abandoned turned into a cozy hall. The dining area and relaxation areas in this space can have different styles as in the photo.

Forget about commonplace and ordinary!

Designed in a loft style, interiors can awaken fantasy, develop imagination, stimulate creative thoughts and attract people who prefer originality in everything. This does not mean that it is intended only for representatives of bohemia and modern youth, the loft is also perfectly suited for businessmen, as well as for architects or artists.

It is worth immediately proceeding with the transformation if you have spacious rooms with a large common area. As for the financial side, the decoration that creates the loft interior can be both budgetary and very expensive. It all depends on your decision. It should be clearly understood that during the design it will be impossible to do without rough, stiff natural building materials (brick and wood) and without open space with white ceilings.

Note! It is necessary to carefully develop the layout, which must contain mandatory functional areas, without sharp transitions between them!

It is quite acceptable, and sometimes even the combination in the design of the space of "heaped" designer novelties with antique inexpensive furniture is even welcomed. Brutal general background can be successfully mitigated by a variety of paintings, prints on ottomans and pillows, as well as all sorts of bright little things. If you want to create the appropriate design and atmosphere, but do not have a spacious room with large windows (showcases), then with the help of original accents and branded strokes it's easy to do. Also, smooth concrete, modern furniture, steel and glass will help in implementing this idea.

Classic features of the loft style are brown, beige and gray in an integral combination with white. Saturated, bright shades of blue, red and yellow in various accessories will be a pleasant, necessary addition.

Loft style room

Ceiling

Ceiling должен быть обязательно белым в этом интерьере. Это необходимо для создания полного ощущения и визуального восприятия помещения, как просторного и максимально освещённого. Во время ремонта его покрывают обычной шпаклёвкой или краской. Однако не нужно проявлять излишней изобретательности и монтировать многоуровневые глянцевые потолки потому, что они совершенно не гармонируют со стилем лофт.

The white ceiling expands the space of the room, and enhances the perception of the loft style.

Floor

It is best to give preference to the old, wooden variant. Such a floor is necessarily subjected to cycleing, and after such treatment, a transparent clear varnish is applied from above. Also, the floor can have a laminate covering, imitating an old wooden board. An important element, which should not be forgotten, is the skirting board, made, like the window frames, made of natural wood.

The main feature of style-floor is only from natural materials (a board or a panel under a tree). The designer left the traditional brickwork, turning the bedroom into a freight train car.

Walls

The loft-shaped apartment is a free, open space filled with light and air. Zoning of rooms is carried out with the help of partitions from glass blocks, shelves and mobile screens. Good fit in the interior of the "antique" bar with exotic chairs.

In no case can the walls be wallpapered with wallpaper, there must be only a rough, rubbed brick, devoid of any decorative finishes. Masonry made of bricks, especially ceramic (red), is an indispensable element of a style such as a loft. When there is no way to decorate all the walls, at least one brick must be exposed.

In a modern interior, painted white, smooth concrete also perfectly suits. If you decide to paint, then choose a water-based matte paint. As an alternative solution, it is not forbidden to make a choice in favor of rough plaster. Modest, simple decoration here is most appropriate.

Furniture

It is necessary to select furniture that is unique, and its number should be minimal. To make the atmosphere cozy and interesting, you need to place the accents correctly, because the style of the loft prescribes its strict laws and rules.

In the living room, in the center, must certainly be, upholstered with expensive cloth or genuine leather, a beautiful and stylish sofa, an original small table and chairs suitable for a design decision.

Harmoniously complement the interior open shelves and shelves of glass or wood. To ensure that a large, spacious room does not seem uncomfortable and empty, all furniture should be massive, large and thorough. In addition to its main purpose, it can serve the purposes of zoning rooms, because it is easy to move to the right place, and some options, in addition, can be profitable to transform.

The style of the loft accepts almost any furniture as super-modern or old, however, it's not at all fanciful "bourgeois" and expensive. As a good option - a carved wood stove or old chairs, inherited, next to the glass table.

Very organically look in the style of the loft chrome and steel elements or surfaces. Glitter of metal is especially necessary in the kitchen area, furnished with hi-tech appliances, built-in, if possible, in antique furniture.

In the kitchen, the table will look spectacular and, interestingly, an apron of metal shining in the sunlight. But chairs are best to buy non-standard forms, futuristic, decorated in bright colors (light green, yellow or red). The refrigerator should be chosen only in retro style and it should stand out among other modern appliances.

Stylishly it will look in the bedroom a low modern bed of unpretentious design - from chrome-plated metal or wooden. A large wardrobe with a mirror facade should be neatly combined with a common background. However, if you choose this option, the mirror will need to be kept in perfect purity. When the area allows, it is better to place the bedroom on the second floor. Well, if there is no such possibility, then in a one-room apartment, it should be fenced off from the "public areas" with a mobile opaque partition or a beautiful bookcase.

When decorating in the loft style bathroom, you can use materials such as glass, steel and ceramics. Against the background of mosaic or concrete, not finished, the walls will look equally organic as a modern shower cubicle, as well as a rare bathroom with legs. What to choose, it's up to you!

The washbasin should attract attention and delight with its original, beautiful shape. Rug near the bathroom is better not to lay, and instead it is more appropriate to arrange a lattice made of wood.

Loft style accessories

A very important detail of the interior equipment in the loft style is a plasma TV with a large screen diagonal. It would seem that he is completely inappropriate among rare, outlandish things, but this is not so, there is a combination of incongruous objects. Ideally, such a TV will look at the background of an untreated, bare brick wall. In such an interior, even a wooden chalet will become its own.

As for artificial lighting, you can use designer fashion lamps (on bedside tables near the beds) or fluorescent office options located on the ceiling.

Bold experiments with decor are encouraged. In this regard, the loft is extremely democratic to the point that you can safely place a swing or a hammock in the room. But most people do not dare to take such eccentric options and solutions. For example, a colorful, bright carpet located in the rest area on the floor (one of the walls can be painted in bright colors), an old radiator made of cast iron, replacing a towel holder in the bathroom, flower pots made of steel. And also a fireplace in high-tech style, textured textiles with a mandatory large print for padded stools or cushions, a chandelier of the XIX century.

Relevant in this interior will be such non-standard accessories as advertising posters (especially from the last century), graffiti, road signs, etc.

You can use more traditional options, such as abstract paintings or panels, but they do not necessarily have to be placed on the walls, it is not forbidden to place them on the floor and lean directly against the wall.

Conclusion

Loft style is a delicate bet on eccentricity, perfectly combined with warmth and comfort. The house or apartment for you will become a full-fledged place for recreation, being in which it is easy to forget about business and work. They always have a place for children to play and there is where to turn around, who came to visit, friends.
