The Loft is such an innovative, magical and irregular space. As a dwelling, the loft has its origins in the conversion of industrial premises into residential ones - which is why the style of a loft is different from that of a regular apartment. More and more newcomers are opting for lofts rather than carefully planned apartments, which are characterised by asymmetry, irregularity and a kind of cosiness. But behind every decision to buy a loft there is a lot of anxiety and fear: what materials to choose, how to separate the spaces and what furniture to buy. This article is all about that.
Kitchen
It's almost impossible to talk about the rooms in a loft - it all depends on how the spaces are separated, and they are separated individually and differently in each case. However, there are certain principles that should guide the division of a loft space. Here, the epicentre of the kitchen is usually the dining table with chairs around it. The table should preferably be solid, preferably made of wood.
Remember that the table will not only function as a place to eat, but also as a space divider. It's also important where the cupboards and drawers will be placed to store your kitchen "stuff" - one of the key principles of a loft is to keep things as out of sight as possible. It is suggested that the cupboards and drawers should be located on one wall and not extend any further. These storage spaces are best made of wood, while the utensils and crockery themselves should be made of steel - using these materials will create the best loft kitchen space possible.
Bedroom
In lofts, the bedroom area is usually distinguished by being higher than any other space. Access to the bedroom is a matter of imagination and ingenuity: some people build a ladder, others climb stairs, others build wardrobes to serve as wide steps. The bedroom should be at least minimally separated from the communal space - glass partitions, a wooden screen can help. A minimal, low bed in the centre of the bedroom, with a wooden frame holding the mattress.
An alternative to wooden sleep furniture is a modern metal bed. Whichever bed you choose, you won't go wrong by placing it in the middle of the room. A hanger is also important in the bedroom to keep your clothes on. This is a very simple, metal hanger. If you avoid storing your clothes in an open space, you can choose to install a wardrobe, but here the loft dictates another rule - if you have a wardrobe, it should be all the way along the wall, and only from floor to ceiling. It's true that loft bedrooms are usually non-spatial, so feel free to use mirrors in the room, as they will instantly increase the visual impact.

The table and the carpet underneath it are the centrepiece of this space. The living room area does not need to be highly decorated, but should instead have a minimalist, relaxed feel. It is recommended to place a wooden table in the living room, which invites you to have a cup of coffee or to put your books in a comfortable place. Although a wooden coffee table is the best way to make the loft look complete, a glass coffee table is also an option. In any case, whatever table you choose, make sure you have a carpet underneath them. The larger the carpet, the more space it gives to the living room. It is advisable to make the carpet as bright and playful as possible.
Bathroom
This is the loft zone, where the dynamics of very different materials and fabrics prevail. Although wooden flooring should dominate the whole loft, avoid it in the bathroom, preferring to decorate the bathroom with tiles or tile mosaics. Due to the limited space, it is suggested to separate the shower cubicle with glass blocks - the cubicle will be transparent, but this will not only add cosiness but also visually increase the space in the bathroom. The rest of the equipment shall be steel, glass and ceramic. Remember to match the colour of the towels too - clay, dark brown or greyish is recommended.
All Other
While it is common to use "cold" materials in lofts, remember that soft textures, lots of light and life are also important. Soft corners are an immediate way to spice up a loft - use old or new leather armchairs and sofas with unusual proportions. Lofts are characterised by light, so keep in mind that windows should be large, often even full-length. It's also important to remember that a loft is a space for irregularity and change, so don't experiment and don't give things their own fixed place.
