Loft Style History
The loft appeared a long time ago, it was not residential warehouse factory premises. This style began its rebirth in the direction of design when the entire industry began to move outside the city, and the vacant premises began to be rented. It so happened that huge rooms with high ceilings and windows attracted creative people who did not have a large permanent income. And the loft appeared in its first brutal and careless form. After that, wealthy accountants and brokers began to use this direction. And today loft is a trend direction for extraordinary personalities.

Here’s what to consider:

The walls contradict the character of the style. Therefore, it is not recommended to make a separate room with a sleeping area. But putting the bed on public display is not an option. What to do?

Choosing bedroom furniture
In the loft style, the principle of furniture arrangement is borrowed from minimalist. Do you remember the history of the loft? Poor artists lived in the premises. They just didn’t have the means to buy something that wasn’t much needed. Therefore, the rule applies: minimum furniture, maximum functionality. There must be a bed, that’s for sure. Curbstones and lamps are added to it. Wardrobe. That’s the whole set.
Sometimes the cabinet is superfluous and it is built in such a way that it looks like an ordinary wall from the outside. But these are the tricks of the modern world. In fact, we are not obliged to follow the rules of discomfort, it is only important for us to create the appearance of a meager environment, which creates the feeling of a large space.
