Loft-style stools: features and choices

The loft style is gaining an increasing number of fans. Extraordinary solutions for the arrangement of residential premises allow you to make the kitchen or living room individual, the main thing is to correctly place all the accents. But when following this style, it is important not only to correctly decorate the room, but also to choose furniture, including stools. They also have their own characteristics that must be taken into account in order to make the right choice.

When choosing stools in the loft style for the interior, one cannot but recall what characteristic features the style as a whole possesses. First of all, he is inherent in unlimited freedom, which knows no barriers. That is why the loft looks organically in spacious rooms, where there is an opportunity to walk around in terms of design.

Most often no doors are provided here. A large area is divided into zones with furniture. There may be enough pieces of furniture in such a room, but they should all be extremely functional. High ceilings are most often characterized by the presence of beams.

Large windows let in a lot of light and do not have curtains in their usual sense. These can be blinds or other similar options. Against the background of brick or concrete walls, the decoration of which is carried out using materials that imitate brick and concrete, contrasting furniture will look interesting. For grays, you can put white or black interior items.

All this also applies to stools. Their characteristic features are as follows:

• simplicity, conciseness, but at the same time originality, in some cases deliberate rudeness, sometimes - the presence of artificial aging;
• the use of metal, wood in the manufacture, extremely rarely - plastic;
• if upholstery is present, then only one-color, preferably made of leather, eco-leather or leatherette;
• there can be many and several types of stools, at the table - some options, at the bar - others.

A spacious loft-style room ideally implies constant movement, communication of people, meetings of various creative companies. Therefore, stools will always come in handy here. So you should think in advance what they will be and where they will be located. Though their designs and appearance should be such that, if desired, they could always be transferred to another place, and they would look harmonious everywhere.

The loft style, perhaps, has only one main disadvantage - it is not suitable for small rooms. It is very difficult to recreate this atmosphere of creativity and freedom in a confined space. And it will not be easy to place stools in such a kitchen in the required quantity.

The preferred materials for these stools are metal and wood. Moreover, the seat can be a simple wooden one, and the base can have a wide variety of shapes. This can be a three-legged round seat stool. The square top can be combined with four legs connected diagonally to each other. They can also be attached crosswise and, in general, have a bizarre shape. Stools can be just cubes or cylinders - there are many options. But at the same time, stools can be completely wooden or metal. It all depends on the main interior.

Plastic can also be present, but it will not look as interesting as the same metal structures. Seat upholstery is permissible, it is preferable to choose leather, the budget option is leatherette or eco-leather. If fabric upholstery will be present, then it should be simple materials, such as burlap.

When using metal structures, it is better to place them against the background of contrasting walls and other objects so that they are not lost. If the stools are wooden, then the table should be made in the same design. The following colors are more suitable for upholstery:

• White;
• black;
• Gray;
• Brown;
• beige.

But this does not mean that it is strictly forbidden to add bright notes. Someone will want the room to be decorated with stools with red or blue seats, or maybe with turquoise or orange ones. This can become a bright accent of the entire interior.

To go looking for loft stools, you need to clearly imagine the entire design as a whole and even then consider suitable options.

• If this is the home of a bachelor who wants to emphasize brutality and some kind of negligence, it can be stools stylized as water pipes, rust. Untreated wood will help with this too. Optimum colors are gray and black. Distinctive features are beams and brickwork.
• If a soft loft is chosen, that's another story, there may be elements of high-tech or modern. Therefore, there is more desire for comfort. This means that the stools can be upholstered in leather or dense textiles. It is preferable to choose light shades: beige, white, cream.
• Loft fusion allows for the use of bright accents. Here you can just use bright blue or red stools, with which, for example, the color of the dishes on the shelves can overlap.

This is how loft-style rooms with stools might look like:

• stools with a wooden seat and metal legs and the same table look perfect against the background of a gray wall and original lamps;

• another original model that will decorate any kitchen and harmoniously complement the loft style;

• high stools are an organic addition to this room - they are combined with walls, lamps and general decoration.
