How do you improve your outdoor space?
Open-plan spaces in lofts can cause logistical problems. How to integrate several professions into one large room? Here are our ideas to help you!
No matter what type of decor you want to give your loft – contemporary, classic or modern – these tips will help you create a flattering and balanced scheme. Because we know: an open space can quickly turn into visual chaos!
1—Use sensible furniture (if necessary)
One trick to adding a secondary occupation (like a study) to a main room (like a bedroom) is to make that area as plain as possible. This usually involves furniture selection. For example, a single shelf and a chair can act as a desk area. The bedroom then retains its full atmosphere.
2— Do not stick all the furniture to the wall
A common decorating mistake: to gather all the furniture along the walls. The idea behind it is to clear the room to make it look bigger. However, the opposite happens! The loft will look disproportionate. Some pieces of furniture can be attached to the wall, while others will benefit more from being placed towards the center of the room. To find what works, try moving the furniture around the space until you come up with the ideal placement.
3—Emphasis on high ceilings
One of the advantages of lofts is the height of the ceiling. They should not be overlooked in the way we decorate. If you do not know how to display them, here is a tip: place a vertical strip of a material such as wallpaper or stone on one wall. It should start from the floor and touch the ceiling. The look will be magnificent, even majestic. You can also install very large canvases. Otherwise, large and imposing pendant lights will steal the show.
4—Build a mezzanine
If space at height allows, a mezzanine in a loft is always a seller. It can be a closed room that will become a bedroom or additional storage. It can also be left open (this is what we offer when there is no window nearby).
5 – Make thin sections
Partitions in a loft are important to create a balanced ambiance, but this does not mean unifying solid walls. Moreover, we want to keep this open space intact! How to create separate partitions? You can use the positioning of furniture. For example, the sofa in the living room will face the dining area, which will create two separate areas. You can also put a bookcase as a symbolic partition between the kitchen and the bedroom. Using a rug on the floor can also help to mark each area.
6- Focus on colors that do not compete to attract attention.
In an open space, you must ensure continuity between elements. A turquoise room will stand out if placed next to a classic living room in sober colors. The overall look should be in harmony with complementary colors and atmospheres.
Lofts can be converted into living spaces that are as practical as they are ostentatious. And many buyers are falling for this type of home. What does yours look like?
