Contemporary Decorating for Loft Living
Contemporary and minimalist designs have influenced the new trend of loft spaces. The placement of items such as furniture, rugs, and side tables is critical in such massive spaces. In some ways, it is as hard to decorate a larger space than a smaller space. Most of the Linen Lockers customers need help decorating there lofty spaces. They simply don't know what to do with all of the loft space. They don't know how to lay it out, or where to put the furniture. They really don't know how to purchase furniture for it. Convinced that luxury belongs in everyone's life it is important to find the right balance of the things that you love and spaces that keep you in a tranquil setting after a long days work.
When our customers come to the Linen Locker, they can count on over 15 years of decorating experience. With much of our older part of the towns becoming reinvented, lofts are one of the most popular ways of urban living. Old factory spaces or abandoned warehouse are now becoming state of the art contemporary living spaces. Most of these units have no interior dividing walls, with even bedroom areas exposed. The residents are left to either put up walls or screen with drapery for privacy. When looking at this large open space for the first time it can seem a massive decorating undertaking. For do it yourselves, may we suggest to at least provide at least one wall. The bath room and bedroom should be a separate entity. The home office areas, dining areas, kitchen, and den can be arranged with screens or furniture, but lets keep private areas private. Arrange your den, dining area, office area, in groups and if you find cooking to be your source of entertaining, make your kitchen your focal point.
Size usually does not matter when designing a functional kitchen. It is fun to have a big kitchen, but the physical size of the kitchen space is rarely a determining factor of its organization. Extremely large kitchens are not always as functional as a smaller ones. Incorporating specific designated area for your appliances will ultimately save you steps . To have everything in its place is significant. Storage, pantry, and refrigeration are the three most common obstacles you need to consider when decorating a large kitchen. Try not to take the one size fits all approach when decorating you lofty kitchen. Instead of purchasing the largest refrigerator stove and dishwasher, you might consider installing refrigerated drawer in your island, strictly utilized for the most often cooked food. It will ultimately save you from buying the oversized refrigerator that might look like a big box. When purchasing a dishwasher, it might be more beneficial in the long run to spend a little more on a modern two drawer unit offering pots and pan washing on the bottom and glass ware and china on the top. Usually this type of washer offers small load washing. When designing your cook top, consider placing it on a Island that overlooks the kitchen table. This will allow you to be able to cook and entertain guest without having your back to them. Ask yourself if you need more that four burners. Only if you entertain will you need a six burner stove. If you choose a four burner stove try adding a indoor. Grilling is important to most of our customers. Just because you have a large space does not mean that you should have high counter tops. When designing your counter space, a good designer always designs the counter tops to the height of the home owners. Counter tops are often raised to the height of a tall home owner. When it comes to choosing a oven, we can not express enough the importance of a warming drawer that should be waist high. Warming drawers provide a significant advantage to holding foods and proofing breads. Consider stackable ovens verses one big oven. The stackable oven will enable you to bake on dish and roast another. Where should you put that sink? It is practical to have a vegetable sink in the island so you do not have to move wet vegetables from counter to counter. All cutting and preparation areas should be near the sink for the comfort of running water to rinse, clean and sanitizing the area.
For your separate private spaces, make these areas a sententious place to come home and enjoy. Large jet tubs, large walk in showers complete with double front and back shower heads, and bathroom complete with floor warmers. Add large built in drawers to you bath area. The trend is to add large drawers to add things that you want right at your finger tips such as night clothing, under garments, and any cloths that you will need right at your finger tips. Many times large bathroom in these lofts are in areas that have no outdoor light. Brighten up these spaces with soft, soft, Home Source Organic Towels, super soft bath rugs, and Linens.
When decorating large spaces, if all is done, but something seems to be missing, look down. You might need to pull it all together with a large design rug. (See the Linen Lockers high design rugs by Veratex, Home Source, and Homefires Rugs. Your space isn't finished until the floor is finished!
