We present you a new modern trend - lamps in the loft style. What they can be and how they can be used to create a stylish interior design - learn more!

Loft interiors are gradually but surely becoming popular all over the world. This style is defined by "male" colors, brick walls, high ceilings and bohemian decor. Bright pictures, green plants and beautiful textiles give warmth and comfort to the rough industrial design of the floor, walls, and ceilings. This contrast is always exciting and interesting, so it's no surprise that loft style today is found not only in lofts and in converted industrial premises (where it originated), but also in the most common dwellings. In addition, the distinctive elements of this style, such as wallpaper and lamps, become fashionable on their own and are used for the original decoration of houses and apartments.

What kind of luminaries can be in the loft style?

For starters, it should be noted that luminaires in loft style and luminaires for lofts are different concepts. In the lofts, luxury classical chandeliers, sconces and hanging lamps are often used, which simply look stunning against the background of brick and concrete walls. But if you buy luminaires in the style of a loft for a modern or eclectic interior, then we will talk about those models that can bring a creative loft atmosphere to your home:

1. Industrial or industrial lamps;
2. Chandeliers and lamps in retro styles or vintage;
3. Stylish lamps on a long cord or in a simple glass plafond;
4. Some modern and designer lamps in the loft style.

Let's consider each version closer with the following 35 photos of luminaires in the loft style in the design of apartments and houses.

1. Lamps in industrial or industrial style

Industrial lighting is one of the iconic decorative features of lofts, since this kind of dwelling was originally built in abandoned factory and warehouse premises. You can even say that this is typical lighting in the loft style. As a rule, these lamps are distinguished by simple, even rough design, and good functionality (rotary mechanisms, adjustable fittings etc.).

Today, industrial or industrial lamps are increasingly chosen when they want to give a twist to modern interior design. Especially interesting they look in the design of the kitchen and dining area - over the dining table or kitchen island.

2. Vintage and retro lights

Who kept the plain lamps and plafonds of Soviet times? You can save both money and time using old vintage and retro lights to create a loft style in your home. These antique lamps, hanging lamps and wire structures can be painted again to stand out against the backdrop of brick walls, or to remain in a shabby and rusty form to add to the intrigue of the clean and smooth surfaces of modern interior design.
