How to arrange an apartment in a fashionable style "loft"

Loft style is now at the peak of fashion. However, not everyone clearly understands this style. It is usually associated with a studio apartment. But "studio" is just a type of room layout. A loft can be organized and just in a large room.

The most accurate definition of the loft style is the interior in the industrial style. Historically, the style arose on the basis of industrial facilities - when small factories, warehouses and farms were converted into housing.



The main materials of the loft style: concrete, textured wood, brick. Additional materials: glass, metal, polycarbonate, new composite materials And these rooms had their own visual specificity, both in layout and in decoration, which determined the main attributes of the style. Something in the decoration of such rooms was not possible to change, so much just left as is, and comfort was achieved through lighting, furniture, accessories and all sorts of special techniques.



The main colors of the loft style: gray and all its shades, terracotta, light brown, silver metallic, cream, beige-sand, light asphalt, all shades of green, blue, purple, white. Therefore, the modern style of “loft” (another name is “industrial”) is built on this contrast.

• The industrial interior has something from eco styles, minimalism and Scandinavian style.
  
  
• And all this against the background of a rude, somewhere even primitive environment.
  
  
• To create such an interior, it is important that it contains objects of industrial origin.
  
  
• "Loft" - emphasized modern style. But do not consider it too “technogenic”, rather, these are some technical “replicas” inscribed in the natural environment.
  
  
• Technical elements are designed to serve as a contrast that further emphasizes the comfort of the interior.
  
  
• The interior in the loft style is a “bold” interior, since the most unusual solutions are appropriate here, and much of what would be unacceptable in other styles can even be decorated here, become a “highlight”.
  
  
• The house in this style is modern dynamic forms, interesting, unusual designs and accessories
  
  
• Conciseness – its distinctive feature, successful and very simple solutions cause admiration
  
  
• Since the decoration of the room in the loft style is rough - as a rule, it is concrete, brick, wood, and their combinations, then most of all the layout of the "studio" is suitable for such decoration. But in any case, the room should be quite spacious.
  
  
• The area is zoned in all known ways: mobile partitions, through shelves and showcases, bar counters, screens, aquariums, large upholstered furniture
  
  
• There are two options for loft-style walls. You can decorate them with one material, in a discreet color scheme, for example, all walls in the room can be concrete.
  
  
• And you can combine two different, but “brutal” materials. For example: two walls are concrete, and two are brick, or three walls are wooden, one is brick.
  
  
• Loft style accessories: low tables on wheels, glass elements
  
  
• Book shelves imitating stairs or storage racks
  
  
• The main decoration of the walls: black and white photos and posters
  
  
• Suspended lamps of simple shape, including with colored plafonds or with a metal frame
  
  
• Possible individual retro objects in the interior
  
  
• At the same time, “designer” modern furniture is required.
