Modern Lofts

Small spaces like lofts and condos can make you feel like Gulliver in Lilliput. And with the population increase, coupled with the decrease in land, living spaces are getting smaller. You can still create the illusion of spaciousness and airiness you want, with some of these tips:

Minimize your clutter. If you don’t use it or need it, sell it, throw it or give it away to charity. You can’t afford to have a lot of things lying around, especially in condos where you have limited storage space.
Don’t buy bulky furniture. Naturally, the less space you have, the smaller your furnishings should be. If you must have that big sofa, make sure that the pieces near it are smaller. Also, buying large furniture means less space to maneuver in.
Install custom or built-in closets or shelves to maximize your space. Use every inch of your space, think outside the box! Installing shelves and wall-hung systems also frees your floor from clutter.

A loft space is generally a large open room with broad windows. Designing this intimidating vast space can seem like a daunting task. But as with any room design, there are basic principles which can remove the mystery from designing a great loft. Follow these basic guidelines for a traditional loft look with a twist.

• Choose your anchor color by going to your local home improvement store and browsing the paint swatches. You do not necessarily have to paint the loft this color, you are simply choosing a favorite shade that both soothes and inspires you. Pick a contrasting accent color as well and hold onto your paint swatch sample cards.
• Remember that classic loft decor includes a stark coat of light colored paint on the walls to create a base for subtle color splashes. But if you would like to keep up with the most current trends in loft design, pick an accent wall and paint it a bold color. As a general rule, the best wall to paint an accent color is going to be the wall containing the majority of the room’s windows, or the wall directly opposite the window wall.

In this aspect of living, the only opinions that matter are yours. You’re your own decorator, you choose your own colors, you alone get to decide the final outcome of how your loft should be. After all, it is your home. In decorating modern lofts, you can use different materials such as glass windows, fabric, shutters, wood and stone. Most modern lofts offer a magnificent view of the cityscape, so it might be nice to showcase this when designing your space. It’s your call whether to incorporate a touch of the urban or the quaint; after all, you are the one who will come home to your living space at the end of the day.

Loft spaces usually tend to be very spacious and trendy. They are the perfect homes for singles living alone; or groups and couples. When choosing the right loft, consider the floor area that you are getting. There should be enough space for leg room and comfortable movement, and also, leave something extra where you can unleash your creative side. Consider your budget when choosing a loft of your own, the distance from it to various important establishments, security of the area and other general amenities. Be smart when making decisions about where your going to settle, because this is where you will be able to kick back and relax after a particularly stressful day.
