Loft style: the spirit of freedom and creativity in the dressing room

Style Features

Loft is characterized by designers as a style where there are no unnecessary details and partitions. A loft can be recognized immediately: wide space, original furniture, abundance of colors. The history of the style goes back to the 40s, when it was possible to decorate attics and upper rooms for living.

The main feature is the combination of modern decorative elements with old finishes. For example, bare brick walls pair perfectly with new appliances. This stylistic direction of the interior suits creative people well. In a similar style, you can equip an artist’s or seamstress’s workshop, organize an exhibition of objects or exchange books.

The style is also suitable for budget-conscious people: a minimum of furniture is required for furnishing. Owners of open-plan spaces also benefit from the loft setting. Young people, wanting to emphasize their individuality, can safely decorate the room in this way. Choose simple and functional furniture, its colors should be cool shades.

Let us highlight the main features that allow you to immediately recognize the loft:

• the space is zoned not with the help of partitions, but thanks to a different color palette;
• the interior has industrial features: bare walls, pipes that you can imitate yourself;
• fashion trends are as important as old finishes - chrome, glass and steel are considered suitable materials for decoration;
• the appearance of the furniture resembles a combination of antiques and minimalism: the loft cabinet plays not only a practical role, but also divides the room into zones;
• the ceilings should be high and the room itself should be free;
• There is no decor; instead, posters, road signs, and graffiti hang on the walls.

You can arrange a loft-style room yourself. If you have an old cabinet, try remodeling it, adding a little vintage and leaving modern details.

Wardrobe design in loft style

A dressing room is not the most common room in houses and apartments. Such an area is mainly developed by owners of spacious homes, in which it is possible to allocate a certain space for convenient storage of clothes without loss of functionality and comfort.

Wall decoration in the dressing room

The most common loft material for wall decoration is brick. However, traditional masonry can take up too much space in the room, so it can be replaced. The market offers customers a large selection of finishing materials that imitate the visual qualities of brick: wallpaper, cladding panels, etc.

You can decorate one wall in the loft dressing room as a brick, and all the rest can be plastered in a light color so that they are in harmony with the brickwork. If unevenness and roughness appear, you should not get rid of the defects; they will only complement the loft look of the room.

Finishing floors and ceilings in dressing rooms

To decorate the ceiling, traditional painting or whitewashing is usually used.
The ceiling does not require preliminary leveling; unevenness will only be in place. For the floor, you can choose a simple wooden floor. The modern market offers customers ideal wood floor coverings with imitation aging that will fit perfectly into the chosen style. Instead of wood, you can also use linoleum with a simple pattern: imitation wood, pebbles, sand, etc.

Furniture and decorations

The main thing in a wardrobe is cabinets and racks that will take up maximum space so that all the apartment owner’s clothes can fit in them.

In this case, there should be a minimum number of decorative elements. They should not clutter up the available space and make the operation of the room less comfortable.

Combined dressing room

It is best to choose elegant furniture that will not be too bulky; the modern market offers customers a large number of cabinets and shelving made of different materials that are perfect for a loft and will not clutter the room.

Before starting the renovation, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with photos of loft-style dressing rooms; with their help, you can choose the most suitable design ideas for decorating your rooms.

Varieties

Loft wardrobes can be divided into the following types:

• closet;
• wardrobe with hinged doors;
• built-in models;
• angular;
• book.

Each of the listed types has its own characteristics. For example, a sliding wardrobe has a sliding door system, which significantly saves space. This is necessary for a style like this, which has a large area and a minimum of partitions.

Coupes are made in various shapes: linear, radius, angular, trapezoidal. It must be selected based on the dimensions of the room.

The loft sliding wardrobe is a combination of mirrored facades with wooden slabs, as well as deliberate aging of the surface of the doors. Often, designers frame the product in imitation brickwork to add individuality to the models. The best option is an extensive mirror surface that expands the boundaries of the room: it will reflect the entire interior.

The older brother of the compartment is a wardrobe with hinged doors. This option is more appropriate, since it applies to outdated models. A wardrobe can have from 1 to 3 doors. Its facades are designed according to the loft style: they can be perforated, covered with metal or contain elements of transparent glass.

Built-in loft-style models, which can be seen in the photo below, are characterized by original design. They do not have back or side walls; the doors of the product are designed at the request of the owners. A built-in model with sliding facades looks acceptable for the loft style. Such a cabinet is covered with colored film with chaotic inscriptions. This option is appropriate for decorating a teenager’s room.

A diagonal or corner cabinet also looks interesting. This design takes up a lot of space, so it needs to be installed in spacious rooms. This type of cabinet can be four-door or three-door with drawers. It can be used to store both the clothes that you actively wear and to fold out-of-season items.

In addition to wardrobes, a bookcase will also look organic in a loft-style room. It can be both open and closed. The main requirement for such products is strength. The shelves must be strong enough to support the weight of even several rows of books. It is also desirable that the shelves be high.

Open cabinets are good because the paper does not get damp in them and the books remain in good condition. But closed ones protect the paper from dust. True, they need to be constantly ventilated.

Types of wardrobes in loft style:

• Cabinet sliding wardrobes in the loft style are a full-fledged wardrobe with a full-fledged frame: tray, top cover, walls and sliding doors. Such cabinets are convenient because they can be moved to any convenient place and this will not be difficult.
• Built-in wardrobes in the loft style - the cost of such wardrobes is cheaper than cabinet ones, which is explained by the design features. Built-in models are aimed at making the most efficient use of free space, so they completely lack all walls and only doors remain from the frame. This option is quite convenient for those who have a small apartment, but for the arrangement of such a closet it is necessary to allocate a special niche where things will actually be stored.

• Semi-built-in wardrobes in the loft style are an alternative to a built-in wardrobe; such designs also do not take up much space and are affordable. The only difference is that in semi-built-in cabinets only part of the frame is missing - for example, only one of the walls or only the tray.
• L-shaped corner wardrobes in the loft style look like two separate wardrobes put together. Each half of these two cabinets has two sliding doors; the filling can be selected depending on your requirements, however, it is recommended to install a rod in hard-to-reach places of such a cabinet.
• Diagonal corner wardrobes in the loft style - such cabinets are ideal for rooms with a large area. In design, they resemble L-shaped sliding wardrobes, but they have not 4, but two doors, due to which they take up more space.
• Trapezoidal sliding wardrobes in the loft style differ from conventional models in that one of the side walls is smaller than the other. This wall usually turns the cabinet towards the door, thereby improving the room's permeability.

Manufacturing materials

The raw materials used for the production of loft-style cabinets differ little from the list of standard materials. Wooden laminated chipboard or MDF boards are a traditional set of materials for the manufacture of cabinet furniture. Another thing is the external design of the facades.

Let's take a closer look at the popular options for finishing cabinet doors:

• wood - this raw material is used only in combination with other materials. If you use one tree for the facades, they will look like a modern classic style. To achieve an industrial feel, wood painted in different colors is used. It is combined with mirrors and plastic;
• metal - it is better to use this material in moderation: if you get carried away with such textures, you will get a high-tech style. Elements and metal inserts on the cabinet fronts will blend harmoniously with the surrounding finish. To increase the effect, designers suggest additionally using metal decor on the doors;
• imitation brickwork - brick is considered the main accent of a loft. It is not necessary to design all the doors in this way: if one compartment door is made in imitation brick, and the other in wood, you will get an original facade;
• mirrored facades - a mirror will visually enlarge the boundaries of the room, which is what the loft style requires. Use more of these planes to decorate small spaces;
• glass will be an excellent replacement for traditional wooden facades. You should not use material with a sandblasted pattern - it will be too modern.

Glass surfaces can be used as a partition for zoning a room. In this case, give preference to tempered glass.

Closet

The design of such furniture is its main advantage. Since the cabinet doors simply move to the sides, the area of ​​the room is significantly saved. The most common furniture models:

• a fully-fledged cabinet cabinet that has all the standard components: a tray, a top cover, walls and sliding doors. Advantage - the furniture can be easily rearranged to another suitable place;
• built-in wardrobe in loft style - allows you to save as much space as possible and is very inexpensive. The only piece of furniture is the door. This cabinet model is ideal for compact spaces that have a built-in niche;
• Semi-built-in wardrobes are different in that they do not have only part of the elements (one wall, pallet). Arranging such a cabinet is inexpensive;
• A corner/diagonal cabinet looks impressive in spacious rooms. The design uses two to four sliding doors. It is recommended to store out-of-season wardrobes on high shelves. With the help of special rods it is easier to get things from hard-to-reach places.

A loft-style interior cannot be classified as ordinary and widespread, although objects made of wood and metal are used for furnishing. Basically, cabinets have a strict appearance, and the presence of patterned or floral designs is simply ridiculous. It is allowed to apply stylized inscriptions or signs on wooden surfaces symbolizing cargo marking or logistics signs.

If you absolutely want to install a mirror, then the canvas is attached to the entire door (without frames) or in the form of fragments (you can simulate cracking of the surface layer - this is a decorative option using the craquelure technique).

Shape and color

Often the color scheme of furniture for the loft style is restrained. This is based on the fact that industrial facilities: factories, factories, were rarely painted in bright shades.

The most popular colors and tones for products:

• white;
• grey;
• black;
• brown;
• beige.

Red and blue colors can be used for emphasis. They are applied fragmentarily to dilute the indicated shades. For example, a wardrobe made of brown wood will be classic. If you age the surface of the product, and also add wood painted in blue or red, you will get a loft style.

The shape of the products is most often rectangular, but wardrobes can be made in several tiers. For example, a wardrobe that has several steps instead of a solid roof looks stylish. You can place decor, books and magazines on them.

A built-in wardrobe with hinged doors can be decorated with metal. Each door is lined with a black metal frame, and gray material is used inside. The nails that are visible on the surface add originality.

The color scheme is selected individually, according to the surrounding environment. If the walls are lined with brickwork or its imitation, and the rest of the furniture is made in a dark color in a modern style, you can purchase a wardrobe with photo printing. It will depict a night city in blue tones, which will dilute the severity of the room.

The product will look non-standard if there are shelves for books on the sides of the loft-style cabinet. They are open and visually continue the closet.

What materials are loft style display cabinets made from?

Modern furniture showrooms provide a wide range of cabinets made from different materials. Most often, display cabinets are made:

• Made from solid wood.

A wooden display cabinet in a loft style is without a doubt an ideal option. Wood was the first material used to make furniture. And most often in furniture production they use solid oak, beech or pine. A solid wood showcase looks expensive and stylish. Moreover, the furniture style can be any, not just loft.

Furniture made from such material will last much longer compared to all other analogues. Moreover, over the years, such a cabinet becomes a rarity, its value increases. The money spent becomes a profitable investment.

• Made from MDF and plastic.

MDF panels are similar to natural wood, but furniture made from them is significantly cheaper. As mentioned above, MDF is significantly inferior to solid wood in terms of quality and environmental friendliness.

Transparent plastic or plastic in combination with glass is also used as a material for a loft-style display cabinet. Models with glass shelves or doors look stylish and do not overload the interior. The choice of materials allows designers to develop more and more new furniture designs.

Rules for use in the interior

The main purpose of a closet in a loft interior is not only to store clothes, but also to delimit the room. Large spacious rooms must be divided into functional zones using furniture.

This is easy to do if you listen to these tips:

• Do not place cabinets too close to the walls - this move allows you to achieve the feeling of a large empty space;
• It is better to choose low models. Oversized products that span the entire height of the wall will disrupt the visual unity of the loft;
• corner cabinets in black fit well into an interior consisting of brown and white shades;
• on the facades of a light wooden sliding system, reflectors glowing in the dark can be glued to show the direction of movement of the door;
• It is best to separate the sleeping area from the kitchen area with a wide and deep closet. It would be nice if it was equipped with additional through-type shelves. Here you can place decor, watches, small flowers in pots;
• You can leave the cabinet open and not equip it with a door. In this case, you need to install it in the sleeping area.

Provide a convenient approach to the cabinet, and also take care of the lighting: built-in lighting on an antique cabinet looks in keeping with the loft style.

Loft style – sliding wardrobes

A sliding wardrobe in a loft style is a design that is of central importance in an apartment or house. It can be placed both in the hallway and in the bedroom. A wardrobe covering the entire wall from floor to ceiling looks impressive. The material used for manufacturing is wood or chipboard. The surface must fully comply with the style requirements. There should be no bright decorative elements or paintings. Only clear lines are observed, emphasizing simplicity and rigor.

If a loft wardrobe is made with a mirror, it should occupy the entire door. Metal elements in black and gray can be used for edging. Open cabinets with no doors are very popular.

Where is the best place to place it?

The correct arrangement of cabinets in an apartment with this interior will help emphasize the features of the style.

Pay attention to the following nuances when planning a place for furniture:

• It is better to place a cabinet for a loft-style kitchen along a short wall; opposite it is a bar counter or a massive wooden table for dining;
• in the interior of the living room, you should not clutter the room with a tall cabinet - it is better to install it opposite the sofa;
• For the bedroom, choose models with a large mirror surface - it will help expand the space visually;
• For a bathroom, a small loft-style cabinet is suitable - it is placed near the sink and bath accessories are stored inside;
• a loft-style children's room requires a minimum of furniture, but the closet will come in handy: if you place it in front of the window, you can randomly scatter soft chairs around;
• For the hallway, a sliding wardrobe is necessary - it can be hidden in a niche, framing the facades with imitation white brick.

Hallway

The most obvious and predictable option is installation in the hallway. The corridor is what all guests see first. Therefore, it should also be beautifully designed. The loft-style hallway looks stylish and modern. A massive wardrobe would be appropriate in it. Stylists advise giving preference to furniture with strict shapes, made of rough material.

The hallway, as a rule, is small in size. Therefore, it is better not to install a massive cabinet there. Choose a compact built-in version or a coupe. The structure installed in the hallway is convenient for storing outerwear and shoes. Once it's all neatly tucked away, you'll be able to save space.

As for the color scheme, it is better to choose neutral colors for the hallway - white, gray or brown.

In the bedroom

It is more convenient to store actively used clothes in the bedroom. There you can install different furniture options.

A compact freestanding cabinet is one of the most common options. There are even models equipped with wheels. The cabinet mounted on casters can be moved from place to place if necessary. It's convenient and practical.

A cabinet with a mirrored door also looks good. This is a convenient option because you can see yourself in full height. The appearance of such a product is also pleasantly pleasing, since it fits perfectly into a modern interior.

The depth of the closet that is installed in the bedroom, as a rule, does not exceed 40 centimeters. This is enough to store most of the most necessary things. A similar two-door wardrobe can easily be placed in any room.

Living room

You can install a stylish loft-style bookcase in the living room. Such furniture will not only be a good storage for your books, but also a stylish addition to the interior. Its showcase can be decorated with all kinds of souvenirs, figurines and other details.

Design ideas

There are many interesting design options in this style. Choose exactly the option that suits the characteristics of your room and helps highlight your individual taste.

Metal

The most common option is a massive metal structure. It can be as simple as possible, without any decorative elements. Forged elements and other decor will be unnecessary here.

Metal products are durable and easy to clean, which is why they are often chosen as storage for all of your belongings.

Wood

A cabinet made of wood or chipboard is also different from the classic one. For this industrial style, a product that seems to have been made hastily is more suitable - consisting of rough boards, decorated with stamps or other details. Antique-style furniture also looks interesting.

Combined

A wide cabinet that occupies half the wall can be made of different materials. For example, a metal base is often complemented by wood shelves or metal grilles. It looks quite stylish and interesting.

What features do the models have?

Perhaps the main distinguishing feature of the structures is the openness of the moving elements. The “high-tech” origin of the system is emphasized by the undisguised guide profile, as well as the large metal brackets or plates used for fastening. The fittings are made in shades of chrome, silver or black.

The leaves for sliding doors in the loft style are different:

• deliberate brutality, negligence. Solutions that claim elegance are rare in such interiors. Much more relevant are products that look like they have been hastily knocked together from boards or represent a suspended sheet of metal;
• antique finish. Artificial aging techniques can make wood look as if it has been in service for many decades. Patina leaves a coating on the grooves of the canvas and along its edges. Brushing, which involves removing the soft fibers of the array, reveals the expressive texture and pattern of the material. The best factories offer to buy sliding doors in the loft style, which amazingly combine an urban spirit with a rough country charm;
• extensive use of glass. Translucent sheets are used separately or combined with frames made of wood or metal. Hinged and sliding lattice structures with aluminum frames and clear or frosted glass inserts are especially suited to modern space.

Characteristic features of the style

Designers characterize the loft as one of those styles where there is no place for partitions and unnecessary details. These are always original interior items, a lot of space, many colors. Loft appeared a long time ago, in the middle of the last century. At that time, loft style began to decorate attics for living quarters. At the same time, a significant amount was not spent, and the interior itself was extremely unusual and strangely cozy.

The main feature of the loft style is that designers successfully combine old, shabby finishes with modern elements, for example, high-tech household appliances. The result is an environment that is ideal for creative people. In this style, you can equip a workshop, a workplace for an artist, musician or designer, or organize an art exhibition.

This style is also good for budget-conscious people. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money and still have a practical, modern interior, this is your best choice. You will need a minimal amount of furniture, and you will not have to install expensive interior partitions. The style is well suited for inexpensive studios and rooms where the bedroom, hallway and kitchen are combined. Young people can express their own individuality using the loft style.

Let us list the most important features of this style direction.

1. You can zone the space not with the help of interior partitions, but with colors and other design solutions (a podium or a bar counter, for example). Accordingly, a loft-style dressing room may not be completely separated from the rest of the premises. Let it become a full-fledged part of the overall picture. Remember that this style loves space.
2. The interior welcomes industrial features. Aged or completely bare walls (imitation can be done). One of the walls can be just brick, without decoration, wallpaper or anything else. You can also make some of the elements from concrete, age wooden elements, etc.
3. We must not forget about modern trends in design craft. Tempered glass, chrome elements, mirrors, steel - all this is welcome, but without going overboard. Without modern elements, the interior will be incomplete. In the dressing room, these can be metal crossbars, shiny baskets for shoes and hats, stainless steel hangers.
4. The appearance of the interior elements should combine antiques and minimalism. And the dressing room itself should become not a room, but an area for changing clothes, even if the entire system is represented by one closet with a mirror.
5. High ceilings and the use of additional techniques to create a visually large space.
6. The decor should be completely absent. Within the loft style, crumpled road signs, posters of favorite bands, etc. will look much better. The latter will be more successful for the dressing area.

What’s interesting is that you don’t have to buy a new wardrobe system for a loft-style interior at all. It's time to go to the village to visit your grandparents or to the dacha and look for old cabinets there. You will have to tinker with them a little, but you will get something close to the loft not only in appearance, but also in spirit.

Shapes, sizes and characteristics of the presented cabinets

The color scheme for loft style cabinets is restrained and cold. The most popular shades include:

• white;
• black;
• brownish;
• grey;
• beige.

To add an accent, you can use red or blue colors. It is used to dilute cool colors.

The optimal design shape is rectangular; cabinets can be made in several tiers. For example, a wardrobe with several steps and no solid roof will look very stylish.

When ordering from Vash Loft, the color scheme is always selected individually depending on the interior of the room.

In our online store you can buy a loft-style wardrobe that will meet all your wishes. We offer a wide range of 2-door and 3-door designs. Experienced managers will always help with advice on what is best to choose for your premises.

Design specifics

A large closet or dressing room in a loft style has a number of features. Firstly, it is brickwork or its imitation, which serves as a wall. Secondly, it is the use of darkened wood or chipboard of characteristic colors (oak and others) for the manufacture of shelving or facades.

The loft is characterized by:

• conciseness and simplicity;
• long shelves;
• modern lighting (spotlights);
• open rods for hangers;
• areas for storing different types of things;
• many baskets and trays.

Very often such dressing rooms are completely open, i.e. no facades or compartment doors at all. In the photo they look very airy and stylish, so this style is often used for showrooms and stores. However, this option is only suitable for certain rooms, so it is not often used in our country.
