Loft-style attic apartment

You can use the motives for designing the loft style not only in rooms that were once industrial warehouses or factory floors. Especially if you have an attic space at your disposal. Bringing industrial aesthetics into a dwelling located under the roof of an apartment building is not a difficult task, but it is important when using loft elements to decorate a living space that you don’t forget about coziness and comfort, external attractiveness, warmth of home furnishings, comfortable and comfortable atmosphere. It is such a difficult mix in the design of one studio apartment located in the attic that we would like to demonstrate to you. We begin our movement through the rooms of the loft apartments, as usual, from the hallway - the visiting card of the dwelling.

According to the classics of the genre, when designing an apartment in the loft style, the following design techniques should be actively used in the interior:

• concrete surfaces without finishing;
• brick walls as an accent or as the main way to design vertical surfaces;
• communications and engineering systems on display;
• the use of light shades (most often white) to create accents in the decoration or as the main tone;
• open floor plan for main rooms.

Masonry is one of the key elements of the use of the loft style in the design of residential premises. Against the background of brick walls and wall decor looks spectacular, and the furniture looks more expressive.

Passing the hallway, we find ourselves in a space that serves as a living room, kitchen and dining room. Due to its location directly under the roof of the building, most of the premises have a strong sloping ceiling, which leaves its mark on the possibility of placing one or another functional segment in space. It is logical that in the area with the lowest ceiling height there are storage systems and a soft sitting area.

Thanks to the window located in the roof, there is enough natural light in the lounge recreation area to be able to not only be in the room without turning on the lights during daylight hours, but also to read while sitting on the couch. It was no coincidence that the ceiling of the room was left without decoration, concrete surfaces are one of the features of the design of spaces in an industrial way.

Another feature of the loft style, the effect used in the design of living spaces is a brick wall, which has become an excellent background for demonstrating collectibles of the owner of the apartment.

Opposite the spacious corner sofa is a video area with a TV and storage systems. Using only concrete surfaces as a finish (or rather lack thereof) of a room is quite difficult to visually transfer, the space seems colder than it actually is. In order to bring a bit of natural heat to the living room, the use of a wooden board (or its high-quality analogue) as a flooring is perfect.

In the space of the attic apartment, living plants are actively used. Juicy greens not only contribute to the creation of a fresh and attractive atmosphere of the premises, but also look spectacular against concrete surfaces or brick walls.

Next, we move to the kitchen segment, where the furniture ensemble is located in a corner layout with a peninsula on one side and a bar counter on the other. The eclecticism of this functional area brings both stylistic and color diversity to the overall image of the entire room.

The use of ceramic tiles for finishing a kitchen apron is a practical and outwardly attractive design solution.Snow-white tile “metro” with beveled risks is one of those win-win options that integrate seamlessly into any interior.

An open layout allows not only to maintain a sense of freedom and spaciousness within the same room, but also to create zones with different functional content in close proximity to each other. For example, the peninsula of the kitchen area, which, thanks to the extension of the countertop, has become a place for short meals, is also a bookcase in the living room area. By placing a floor lamp-tripod next to the book storage system, you can easily organize a reading place that can be attributed to both the living room and the kitchen.

A non-wide bar counter mounted to the back of the lower tier of kitchen cabinets is a simple interior element consisting of two boards, but the functionality of this segment is truly great. Here you can organize a place for breakfast and other short meals, here the owners can do business, given the availability of outlets and the ability to connect laptops. If there is a party in the apartment, the bar counter can be used both as its direct destination and as a stand for snacks.

In the bathroom, located next to the kitchen space, in the decoration of one of the walls, a bright shade was repeated, which already stood out the kitchen from the back. The decoration of the utilitarian room was made using ceramic tiles of various modifications - porcelain stoneware imitates concrete surfaces, and the “metro” tiles in a glossy scarlet version act as an accent.

There is also a shower room, decorated with porcelain stoneware with a matte and mirror surface, imitating a concrete finish.

The bedroom is a separate room with a difficult shape, a sloping ceiling and a skylight. Not only the asymmetric shape of the room, but also the presence of only one window encourages designers and homeowners to use a light palette to decorate the sleeping space. White color for the design of the ceiling, walls and bedding textiles is almost the only winning option. A wooden floor board, living plants and wicker baskets bring a little natural warmth to the decor of the room for sleeping and relaxing, creating a color and textural variety in the image of the bedroom.
