At this time, a sharp rise in property prices occurred in the US and the earth. As a result, many businesses were forced to sell the factory buildings or technical premises and cut production. The vacant space has caused interest among the creative people. Good lighting, large area and high ceilings perfectly fit the arrangement of galleries and spaces for creative activities. Strong room did not undergo changes. They remained technical lamps bare brick walls, stone or rough boards tiled floors. Most saw this as a special atmosphere.

The floor cover
Style loft has an environmental focus, and accept the naturalness of everything. Particularly it concerns a floor covering. It uses only wood. This has many advantages:
- Appearance. Wood will give the room a luxurious appearance and underline the nobility of your kitchen. Previously, natural wood was used only in the homes of wealthy people, and now took over the feature to emphasize the luxury of the room.
- Security. Wood - an environmentally friendly material, has no harmful impurities and resins.
- Mood. Wood has a certain aura and creates a favorable atmosphere for a positive development and functioning of physical and psychological health.

The lower part of the base created, now proceed to the top - the ceiling design. There is already more variety, and you can choose the appropriate option from several.
Paint - the most common way to cover the ceiling in the loft. In this case, try to trim light colors, as dark can make the room dark and visually reduce it. The main colors are white and light gray. In that decision, give preference to a monochromatic coloring.
Low ceilings better to arrange in bright colors
In the loft you can forget about finishing the ceiling - concrete slabs perfectly fit into the stylistic direction
Tip! To cover the ceiling Pick bright colors.

It will also look great carrying steel beams
Another easy way - wallpaper. In this case, the same rules apply as in the first case: plain and bright colors. It is advisable to choose the hard and thick wallpaper without apparent pattern.
A further embodiment - cover boards or artificial brick. This option is suitable for those who want to recreate the original loft with all its peculiarities. But in this case, the ceiling must be high because the selected design quite bulky and dark. This method is rarely used, but it is original and adds a special charm to the kitchen.
How to make a wall
Ways to design the walls in the loft in many respects similar to the previous area. But still there are differences.
There is also often used paint. However, the wall advantageously chosen dark tones. Bright also popular. They are especially used for small spaces. But still remain traditional dark brown, red and even black. Also, you can often find a gray and white.

Bare brick walls do not necessarily have to be true, it is quite suitable high-quality imitation
Wallpapers are chosen mainly non-woven neutral colors, plain, with no clearly defined pattern.
subtleties of design
We have prepared the foundation for taking out the main elements. Now we can start filling the interior, because the walls, ceiling and floor - this is not the end. Furniture, lighting, decoration, plumbing, textiles - all this is also important.
Special decorations are required, but for comfort, you can add a few decorations in the form of hours, paintings or posters
Creating the interior of the kitchen in the loft, take a decent share of attention to lighting. Here it has its own character. Formation of natural light in this case is not so fundamentally. The room can have large panoramic windows and low windows - either option is acceptable.
In the industrial interior textiles are not provided, but you can close the windows with light curtains
On a note! It is interesting to note that the loft is selected for kitchens with a deficit of natural light.
When choosing the color of furniture need to focus on the size of the kitchen - light to a small room, and the dark for free space
As the lamps used uncomplicated devices - in those days, when there was electricity only. Suitable ordinary light bulbs in cartridges, steel lampshades, directed spotlights in street style
Most important is the artificial light - namely, the form of lamps. Here manifest imagination to the full. Popular for this style iron cone-shaped lamps on a long cord. In general, the lighting should mimic the design of technical facilities.
Pick up furniture in a minimalist style. High bar wooden chairs - an ideal option. Kitchen set is also no different pomposity. It is simple and concise, often has a matte foundation. Wall cabinets are not like that. It is better to replace them with open shelves for storage of small things, and bulky items to move to floor-standing enclosures.
Furniture should be simple and compact
Decorations should also comply with minimalist lines. Proceed with a wave of your imagination, but do not forget about style laws.
