Colors are very important factors when designing your loft. The hues that you choose not only speak about who you are, but can also set the mood for your day to day living. Be it elegant, or minimalist; bright or subdued, choose the colors that are perfect for your personality and preferences. Warm hues such as red, orange, gold and sage could do very well for your living room area; cool colors such as blue and green can be used for your bedroom. Paint the ceilings a dark color to lower the ceiling and make for a more cozy space.
