Loft Furniture Design

One of the most in-demand places that people want to live in is a loft apartment with cool furniture. With their high, exposed ceilings, floor-length windows, and overall minimal & sleek look, the look of a loft is incredibly stylish without trying too hard. Concrete, brick, and other construction materials are showed off instead of covered up, and pipes or beams also lie untouched.

Because the focus is usually on the actual apartment itself and not the furnishings, loft style design is normally more low-key and minimally detailed. Here are a few key words associated with pieces that would fit in a loft apartment:

Loft Furniture – Industrial

The industrial look is the most minimal design you can go for in a loft apartment. There are a lot of apartments out there that have steel doors and walls, instantly giving a raw, engineered look, or you can choose industrial-inspired pieces for your loft.

There’s the Industrial Moderne Collection Wall Lantern, made with a bronze finish that puts a modern twist on the Industrial Revolution.

For the ultimate in minimal, try the Safco 36″x18″ Industrial Wire Shelving in Black made from sturdy steel. The shelving units have an open wire design that promotes air flow, keeping dust away.

The Safco Task Master Deluxe Industrial Office Chair has interesting steps on its base that mimic an industrial spiral staircase.

 

Clean, undressed windows and interesting construction lines give off an architectural feel. Give your space an architectural look with the following:

 

The Architect Adjustable Floor Lamp by Adesso will make you feel like a true architect! It actually combines all three looks together – industrial, architectural, and even metallic.

Modern and clean lined, the Nurseryworks Truck Product Architecture Duet Bunk Bed perfectly represents architectural style. The bonus? It lets you choose the cabinet color and frame finish so that it will blend into your design style.

 

 

 

Loft Furniture – Metallic

Metallic accents in a loft apartment gives the whole living space a modern, clean look. Metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and iron will last a lifetime and always be in style.

 

The unbelievably simple Nextime Time Piece Radius Metal Wall Clock is finished in stainless steel and will give you a perfect metallic accent for your home.

Guaranteeing strength and durability for years to come, the Amisco Theodore Queen Metal Bed is available in a variety of steel finishes for you to choose from.

Of course, you can always have fun with a loft apartment and opt for funky patterns and bold colours! Lofts are considered to be a youthful, hip place to live, so incorporate that trendy feeling into your furnishings!

Since most lofts have high ceilings, show them off with a unique chandelier, like the ELK Lighting Refraction Etched Nine Light Chandelier.

Combine architectural lines and metallic accents with the Global Furniture USA Sweeney Contemporary Dining Set. Its interesting design and shape will compliment the fresh & unique look of a loft.

For a real distinguished look, try the Modloft Crosby Rotating Coffee Table in Wenge and Red Lacquer Finish! The combination of the red lacquer and wenge wood is definitely funky, and its ability to rotate into different shapes offers function and versatility. A great way to polish off a loft style look!

I would love to see your favorite loft furniture pieces.
