A few months ago we started series Brooklyn design challenge, in which we ask local designers to give us advice on how to get the most from different types of apartments more widespread in Brooklyn. First of all, we discussed the apartment railway, walkthrough, rooms lack of cupboards and all. Today, we give you advice on how to improve your life style loft.
Apartment loft, this symbol of urban Bohemia, evokes images of artists with industrial spaces and houses of old factories to sculpture found materials.Indeed, lofts are fair studio apartments with more space .alors that some may have rooms or loft has thus built on sleeping areas, many lofts are a large area with a separate bathroom and closets-if you are lucky.
Breaking space into distinct areas, finding enough storage, avoidance of disorder (which goes hand in hand with storage solutions) and protection of privacy, especially when it comes to the region of dormant, were the design challenges present lofts. We spoke with Christopher Design Interior Christopher Coleman Coleman and John Loecke John Loecke interior interior designers design inspiration.
Breaking space: the large amount of space is often what attracts people from lofts, but it can also feel overwhelming, structured and messy.Christopher Coleman is a fan of follow-up, which may be suspended or mounted directly on the ceiling (many lofts have exposed pipes or uneven ceilings do suspend a better choice), fabric, plastic, or virtually any matter aesthetically, panels shaped partitions.Suivi including follow-up ripplefold allowing partitions the curve can be purchased in stores upholstery and drapery around in the city. On a budget, it suggests to create panels suspended using canvas stretchers art supply store. "You can use canvas or go to the garment district buy fabric that you like and then make panels-sided with a gun," he said.
Investment: another way to divide the space is to use furniture-cabinets, entertainment units, shelves, and couches. Spaces more traditional, furniture, with the exception of dining tables, is generally placed against a wall. In an attic, you will probably want to float some parts placing them on their own so that they can be seen from all sides.
Loecke suggests spending your money one element which defines a room. "Very good sections helps anchor the space and creates a Visual limit," he says. "In an attic, you generally have a lot of space and a sectional sofa will fill that visually. "On a similar note, he suggested that define the area of room bedroom with a head of a large, bold. On the expensive side of the spectrum, he loves Mitchell Gold room setting pieces. At the end of the budget, Loecke is an advocate for Ikea. "If the pieces are assembled correctly, they are not as disposable as everyone thinks,"he said.""
Adding color: several loft spaces were in fact, after the plants and many have unfinished elements such as exposed brick walls, concrete floors or ceilings for fall. Because there are fewer walls, there are fewer opportunities to add more foolproof color with paint-one inexpensive ways to transform space. Coleman suggests the use of major pops round rug color space and create an interesting visual dynamics. ""I just bored to puncture before with square carpet," he said."I'd like to float on a round rug furniture, I think that makes the eye revolve around much more than a rectangular carpet in a rectangular room."
If you are a logical wall paint, Coleman recommends a bold color for a wall feature. "It's cheaper if you don't have money for art," he explains.He likes using paint-gold colored duct tape-to make edges on the floor, delineating "rooms" and the addition of interest."Tape comes in all these colors-I've used the Orange quite a bit,"he said.""
Advice Low cost: Ikea and the Bank of containers have a follow-up, or shoot metal ceiling suspension using budget.à great storage solutions, you can divide your space almost any equipment at low costs, then to upgrade or switch on when you get bored or increased.
Challenge: echoes parasites.Dans spaces opened with a few cupboards your stuff tends to drift and collect in piles.Loecke recommends long hard reviewing your belongings and find what you need to warehousing support, if it comes to clothing, books, or supplies crafts. using your Cabinet or shelf boundary makes solves both problems by providing storage and dividing your espace.Si you have much to declutter, go big. ""If you build a whole Wall shelves just an element of design," said Loecke. "It is not like distributed echoes of your home.?
