One-room apartment in the "loft" style: design examples

A few years ago, apartments with a lot of luxury items were in vogue. Pomp was elevated to the framework of the ideal. But now they are being replaced by new styles that are similar to minimalism.

One of them is considered to be "loft". You need to think about how you can create comfortable conditions with bare walls or visible wires. In the modern world, it is these ensembles that are gaining popularity due to their variability and not the most complicated repair process.

Loft is a foreign word that means "attic". As a rule, there is no decor in this direction. The walls are plastered and the floor is made of simple planks.

Most often, loft-style design is used in apartments with huge areas and high ceilings. But if you wish, you can use this style or its elements in a one-room apartment. After all, this style often implies no walls and partitions.

The basis of this stylistic direction can be considered:

• mixing different solutions;
• openness of the layout;
• lack of partitions;
• all communications are in plain sight - pipes, ventilation, wires, brickwork is also visible;
• a combination of old and new in both furniture and decor;
• the ability to apply graffiti not to walls and ceilings, as well as the use of posters as an element of decor.

Zonal division of space is made by dividing the room not by partitions, but by shades of the main color. Light play is also often used to highlight different areas. Less common are glass partitions. They do not violate the concept of the whole room, but they still create frames for furniture and decorative elements.

There are a huge number of ready-made projects for decorating a room and an apartment. A huge number of design agencies are ready to help you create your interior. However, you yourself can competently organize the work to create a wonderful apartment.

At the very beginning of work you need to determine the boundaries of the room with a corridor and a bathroom... It is often possible to separate only the bathroom by the walls, and a wardrobe can separate the hallway from the rest of the space. In any case, the result is a huge space filled with fresh air and natural light.

Furniture is used in such an apartment not only for its intended purpose, but also for dividing the space. This is the hallmark of the loft style. The furniture will be great combination of "luxury" and old furniture in retro style.

Storage of a large number of things can often be a problematic issue, because storage rooms are not provided in such apartments. In this case, it is best to use a large cabinet that divides the space into zones. A TV stand is also suitable for storage.

The kitchen is usually separated from the room by a bar counter - this is the most common option. This space in such an apartment can fulfill both its main function and the function of a living room (if there is a table with four chairs). The entire kitchen set is located on the inner wall of such a kitchen.

Walls are often deliberately made to look unfinished. Often, brickwork or brick-like wallpaper is used.Also, bare plastered walls have a special flavor in this design. At first, this view seems uncomfortable, but when furnished, the feeling of a complete picture is created.

In addition, in the direction of "loft" details in abstraction look great. Even road signs and signs can be used as decorative elements.

A special case might be in a room with a small footprint but high ceilings. With a ceiling height of 4 m, you can create a separate sleeping area by equipping the room with a staircase and a second floor within the same apartment.

The light should be natural, because the area of ​​the windows should be large. But at the same time, it must be borne in mind that artificial lighting of this single space will be needed at night. Often one large chandelier is used in the center of the room, but this arrangement of the light source will poorly illuminate the corners of the room.

An interesting option is the small light sources scattered all over the ceiling. They should be matched to the overall style of the room. Less commonly used are wall lamps. Most often they are installed in the kitchen area.
