Main Rules Of Loft Design



Loft is a modern trend of interior design that gains more and more popularity each year. It appeared in the industrial blocks of New York City. The land price in the center of the city became so high that the factory owners considered that it would be cheaper to remove their stuff to suburbs. So, the large spacious rooms were abandoned, but it did not last long. The city bohemians got interested in them. The price was lower than of usual apt, the space more than enough and so the light. A little bit of stylish design and here it is – a perfect place for big parties and artistic performances. 

Trendy artists opened their galleries and expositions in lofts. With time such kind of apt gained the status of elite dwelling – historic center of the city, large space in ancient buildings simply could not be cheap. The prices became too high for the people of art. People of law and finance took their places. Still new dwellers did not want to lose that bohemian charm of lofts. So, what was earlier the sign of poverty became a trend and cost a fortune to reconstruct. 

What are the main principles of a true loft?
1.       Loft is a place that has history. If the building is new, it can be only a stylization. The whole idea of loft is that it is a space that was not created for living, but was transformed into such with the artistic heart and soul. The aesthetic of the old building cannot be expressed in any new house.
2.       Loft must not look glamorous and luxury. It must look like an industrial space that was adapted for living.
3.       Loft is an open space. It has no walls, only zones. The zones have a very subtle division to keep the space open. It can be performed with the help of furniture or glass wall partition but the partitions must not reach the ceiling.
4.       Open communications. Loft is proud of its industrial history and shows it off. The tubes, girders, brick walls make it look severe, rough and shabby – true bohemian chic!
5.       Add some creativity. Poor artists who lived in lofts decorated them with any garbage they could find. It is the best place for the brave ideas and crazy junk installations.
