The choice of a stylistic solution in the design of the dwellings plays an important role in creating a certain atmosphere. One of the non-standard approaches to the arrangement is to take as the basis of the Loft style. Abstanding and brutal, it is not better suitable for the compilation of the interior of those who are tired of the traditional types of housekeeping. In the article we will look at the nuances of the interior design living room in the Loft style.
Specific traits
Any stylistic design solution is characterized by its interior vision. As for the loft, its resources are truly unique: such a room should appreciate the consecutive industrial facility. This is a kind of atmosphere of industrial glamor, adaptation of the living room under the shop, hangar or garage.
Here it is possible to combine old with relevant, for example, the presence of new techniques and expensive furniture against the background of coarse concrete or non-speaking walls.
Ideally, the room should have an open or so-called studio planning. In such a living room there must be a high ceiling close to the industrial type. In addition, the room should perform zoning of individual functional sites, including painting surfaces into contrast tones. Other mandatory attributes of the loft are the elements of the interior, both factory-factory communications, pipes, as well as the subfielded cable.
Loft style loft in its own way. The main motto of arrangement is "Creating a home of the representative of Bohemia in an industrial facility." Comfort must be limited to a minimum of finishes, but it is extremely important that in the interior of the room:
- there were noticeable beams;
- Value or gas pipes were visible;
- There were panoramic or large windows;
- Openness of space was observed;
- traced the open zoning of the hugged islets;
- Combined gross finish and elements of comfort.
In fact, at the entrance to such a room there should be an impression that the apartment lives in the apartment (artist, actor, musician) with a sense of taste and style. Today, the interior of the living room of this area is often reminded of art workshops, or even gallery.
Color spectrum
The palette of shades of the stylistry of the brutal expression is tones characteristic of industrial facilities. In essence, it can be like neutral paints, which include white, gray, concrete, asphalt and black and brick, wood tones. Sometimes the interior of the hall is performed in bright colors. Color combinations in their own way harmonious and calm.
Usually, Bright tones palettes are used to emphasize space . These are drawings of cauldons, graffiti, the upholstery of the chairs, the color of the covers of the chairs either and at all live greens, the color of floor lands. Stylistics to engaging, besides basic paints, such colors, such as terracotta, metallic and burgundy-lavender. Someone manages to use in the design of such an interior muffled blue color.
However, if you choose a range in all the rules, it is preferable to choose furniture of chocolate or gray. Wherein The tone of the used shades should not be sharp and cheap: their purity and depth are important, naturalness . Somewhere in the design, a bolder is involved, sometimes it is a combination of gray-marsh with a white or light tree.
Finishing options
The interior decoration in Loft style should pass the effect of certain carelessness to the brutal chic. At the same time, for different types of surfaces, it can be different than the rational zoning of space is achieved. The interior may provide for the presence of columns, wall partitions.
In addition, projects with a fireplace are interesting through which the atmosphere of home comfort is created in the room.
Walls
Unlike other directions of interior design, wall overlaps of the loft must give light earedness. In view of this Not only rough plaster and concrete finish are welcome here, but also aged brickwork . Moreover, it is quite acceptable that the brick seems to be slightly cracked, and sometimes slightly.
It is important to create an industrial entourage in the hall, the background of which is created precisely by such facing options.
No need to level anything, plastering and bleed. However, it is possible to strengthen the necessary effect through those communications that are usually hiding under the trim. In the presence of skills or finances, you can decorate the wall with a brickwork pattern in graffiti style. As for typical wallpaper, they are not too appropriate to embody Loft's stylistics.
If you choose the rolled products in the spirit of Loft style, it must be expensive and embossed, successfully imitating the desired type of surface of the wall overlap.
It is worth noting that the walls must contrast each other. It is undesirable that they were either concrete or brick only. Usually under the brickwork, the accent part of the wall is given, which is processed at rest, TV zone, music corner or a kind of mini gallery from a photo in concise framework. The decoration of the walls should seem somewhat unfinished, with a minimalism.
Ceiling
Loft style ceiling is different from the usual design, which we used to see in modern living rooms. This is, first of all, complete ignoring stucco, moldings and complex design structures using a tension film or drywall. Someone prefers to paint the ceiling, other customers use wood for its design. However, regardless of the choice of design on the ceiling, the living room must be located unmasled pipes.
The joints of the plates or overlap when designing the ceiling are left untreated, like communication connections with a trim. Color paint white or sandy color ceiling. At the same time, beams can be contrasting tone. Do not need to decor, which is usually used for the design of other stylistics.
The best decor will be, for example, black or bronze pipes with lamps located on them.
Floor
The flooring of the creative style of the creative style can be an option using lacquer-covered boards. Besides, In priority, concrete overlaps, which allows you to simply fill the floor with concrete, barely pollute and fill the plates . However, not everyone is ready to put up with a similar coating. Therefore, in some cases, floor laminate or linoleum acquire, someone makes it out of artificial stone.
Given that the carpet will be located only in the zone of the sofa or a fireplace, preferably to take care of the insulation of the floor. When choosing a color solution, repel from the color of the cladding used for the walls.
You can not allow drain into a single color spot, because it visually reduces the height of the walls and turns the stylish interior into an uncomfortable room with a divertic design.
Zoning space
Loft is considered a refusal of stamps, in view of which the furniture for arrangement of the living room is not only selected to order, but also installed in particular. It is customary to use the receptions of zoning, conditionally sharing the open space of the room into separate islands, each of which is characterized by its functionality. Zoning can be performed in different ways, for example:
- Through a separate or auxiliary illumination of each functional zone;
- with the help of floor coatings of different types or color;
- creating visual partitions to limit the zones of different purposes with furniture;
- collecting elements of the arrangement of each corner closer, visually creating an effect of islets against the background of an open space;
- denoting different parts of the zone by means of a contrast finish of the wall cladding;
- Using contrasting the main design of accents, stand out on the background of walls or gender.
For example, You can zonate space using stone and concrete . It is not bad to separate an open-type room and a bar stand, denoting the working and dining area. Screens in the loft are extremely rare. Creative decor is also able to help in zoning: even attached to the wall of the picture will already be indicated that the island performs a certain purpose.
The fireplace area can be equipped with different ways, it all depends on the nuances of the room itself, its widths, lengths, windows location, doors. It can be part of a guest space or act as a separate corner where you can put a chair and floor lamp. Select a fireplace with different cladding. For example, it may be a protrusion laid out by brick, clinker, stone. Sometimes this part of the room is decorated with concrete trim.
Finish with zoning should be selected correctly. For example, it is not necessary to lay out all the walls with bricks - 1 brick focus on the background of concrete walls and blinds is more interesting. You can highlight with concrete or brick columns (if available). In addition, you can fasten the walls with plaster.
Organization of lighting
As for the lighting, its level in the loft must be equated to the one that is usually present in the industrial workshop. In view of this, the lighting devices must be appropriate. Their design can be panel, linear, in addition, decorate the ceiling space of the loft style can also create a creative chandelier (say, the so-called spider-name with a multitude of light bulbs).
Lighting devices can and must indicate to the extraordinary direction of design to the extraordinary direction of design. In view of this, models for street lights are quite appropriate here, as well as lamps in the form of drain pipes with lamps without closed plafimes.
Lighting can be not only ceiling, but also outdoor, and desktop. Lighting devices can have different types and size.
Their number can be varied taking into account the direction of the light flux. For example, it can be both a series of several identical laconic lamps and a number of point lamps. Besides, On the beams of the ceiling Loft style style perfectly look a heating of a light flux angle adjustment . The location of the lighting devices depends on the placement of the affected islands of the hall.
As a rule, each of them is complemented by its own backlight. For example, its own lamp can highlight the sofa placement zone, a rest chair, a bar rack, as well as a working area if the living room is part of the open planning of the studio type apartment. Sometimes the problem of the direction of the luminous flux is solved by turning the spots located in 2 rows on the ceiling.
In other cases, the project provides for the placement of illumination on the pipes below the ceiling.
Choice of furniture
If a typical set of upholstered furniture is selected for other stylistic interior solutions, then a creative approach is required to recreate the atmosphere of the loft, this is a combination of incomprehensible, for example, the use of metal racks on the background of a luxurious sofa with a leather upholstery or an office type chairs equipped with wheels. However, the furniture itself should not be much.
It is important that the minimum set with a maximum focus on luxury and functionality is involved in the design.
To the question of selecting each element of furniture, it is necessary to approach thoroughly. It is necessary to take into account that putting the furniture is necessary along the walls or in the corners. Style clearly limits the use of cumbersome furniture heads and insists that the furniture should not clutch the passage. It is important to leave as much space as possible to create an expanser effect and separately rolled functional islets.
However, along with typical types of furniture in the loft interior composition, a wicker armchair may appear, and a fashionable table of fancy shape, made of glass. Key restriction when choosing furniture is minimum of small fittings. - Stylistics does not need excess pomp. As for the technique, it must be the newest and expensive.
If the living room provides a bar with a rack, the furniture for its arrangement should correspond to the one that is used for the design of the guest zone. It is impossible to combine furniture in the interior furniture of different status: it shall hees the interior composition, makes it unnatural. It is important that the furniture is high-quality and high-grade. If this is a combined type room, in addition to the sofa and armchairs, it can be equipped with a dining group consisting of a small table and chairs of a laconic shape with leather upholstery of seats and backs.
As for the unity of shape and color, the Loft to this is not so attracted. In the design of the living room of this interior direction, you can combine rough wooden furniture of a dining group with bar chairs having a metal legs of an unusual configuration.
The neighborhood of metal and wood is welcomed: such furniture as it is impossible to transmit the desired atmosphere.
Sometimes in design use kitchen benches of a concise form. But if in other interior styles they are used in purpose, then in the loft helps to create the effect of a recent move. They are used, for example, as the cabinets for the placement of TV, creating an illusion of temporary use as a television stand. Sometimes they put a picture, a mirror or a different item.
Textiles and decor
Usually, the stylistics of Loft does not have attachment to textiles - in this interior it is almost not used. At best, the use of blinds is allowed, but in general the decor of the windows is not welcome, because any curtains will shrink the lightening of the living room. A Since the interior does not tolerate this at all, you will have to replenish the lack of light with single lamps.
However, the lack of curtain allows you to pay attention to the decor. Here are used graffiti, paintings or colorful posters. The way of locating such a decor goes beyond the usual. For example, if in the classic interior of the picture or panels hang on the wall, then in the loft, they are put on the walls or are located on high metal stuffs near the walls in the places of desired accents.
Among other things, wooden textured type of textured type are used in the loft. Not alien to this style decoration of the existing sculpture space, the design of which can be somewhat detached from the overall interior composition. In addition, picturesque canvases installed on the table or the floor will be perfectly fit into such a living room.
We successfully fit into the interior of the hall and floor lamps with wrought elements.
In addition, in the design of the Loft style style, it will be quite organically to look for such decorative elements as ordinary road signs. Among other things, the decor is worth noting the vintage chests and hourly mechanisms sometimes strange design. As accessories look good in the living room of the open planning of wine bottles and glassware elements, located on racks or in the working area of the kitchen with which the living room is combined.
As for the use of carpet and decorative pillows, it all depends on the desire of the hosts of the house. In general, carpets are actually used during arrangement, but there is such an emphasis only at the location of the sofa. In the rest of the space, the floor surface should not be covered with nothing.
Pillows and Loft is not welcomed, but if they are added to the interior, then in the minimum quantity and not too bright.
Sometimes the atmosphere is created through items of hobbies a particular person. For example, for the artist, it is quite natural to use paintings with deliberately negligent alignment. Someone considers it logical to put even a bike in the room, and surprisingly sometimes he quite harmoniously fits into the interior of the living room. The photographer can decorate the space near the wall by photographs in black and white, someone orders the reproductions of pictures of famous artists.
If there is graffiti in the room, it is quite acceptable decor in the form of paint splash. Floor vases, metal plates attached to the wall fit well into this stylist. In some cases, the decor becomes large candles either and at all unusual installations. As for books, their number should not turn the living room to the office. Overflow of furniture upholstery and printing textiles are excluded.
