Choose colors from the palette of mineral dyes: gray, ink blue, ash pink, green and, of course, white and ivory. These shades are great for the loft. You can also add elements of rough textures. It can be wooden beams, concrete, bare brick, exposed water pipes, boardwalks. In general, everything that you can see in an industrial room, for example, in an old warehouse.
