Loft — the form determines the content

The loft is one of the styles in which the form determines the content, but even if you don't have a free floor in a former factory or warehouse building, the atmosphere of the housing of a free artist can be recreated in your own apartment.

"The loft is a symbiosis of industry and art, and the idea is to follow when thinking about filling the space. Mainstream here is misplaced: the proper sensation form recycled items production, conceptual work of industrial designers, sculptures, paintings and installations by contemporary artists, and objects in the style of constructivism, minimalism and postmodernism. Space involves large volumes, because the formation of such aesthetics in small spaces is simply impossible, so as to realize the full picture need free viewing angles".

"Loft" is translated as "loft", so partitions and interior Stanev these areas often do not exist. The space is divided with texture walls, color and light, as well as vertically on the level.

Light there must be a lot, so — as tall and wide Windows without curtains plus an abundance of lamps, including a deliberately bourgeois in style.

 



Depending on, what is your passion — to eco or high-tech — the emphasis in the materials should be done either on wood or on plastic. Metal, glass and ceramics are required in any case.

 



The color scheme of the loft is traditionally cold, but today it is usually abolished.Coloring can be any of: urbanisticki gray, in warm earthy tones, or built on aniline colors. You can try to make one of the walls an accent.
