Do you want to make loft-style furniture with your own hands, but are not sure that you can do it? Then read this article and look at the photographs, and you will understand that you can create without having any special skills. Even a woman can design an interior element.
So, let's begin.
Shelves
Rope shelves are a very simple design. All you have to do is sand the pieces of wood, drill holes in them, pass ropes through them and tie knots. The ropes are secured to a rod or special fasteners.
A chain is a great alternative to ropes. All that remains is to select clamps/brackets, threaded rods and nuts.
The most stylish shelves can be made from slab. Buy a beautiful slab from us, cover it with oil and hard wax or varnish, secure the corners and your chic shelf is ready.
DIY loft hanger
A simple hanger in the hallway will not fit into a classic interior, but for a loft style it is perfect.
For those who prefer elegance in everything, it is better to order a beautiful slab and purchase decorative hooks.

Floor lighting fixtures, such as floor lamps, are also common in the loft style. They are based on metal elbows connected by hinges or rotating mechanisms.

Characteristic features of the loft style are the use of household items as decor. How about a bicycle hung on the wall and used as a decorative piece?
Also, many people use graffiti in their loft-style homes.
DIY loft coffee table
Anyone will like a stump table. The rhizome of the tree must be dry. Clean it, treat it with an antiseptic, dry it and coat it with varnish/special oil.
Impact-resistant glass can be purchased from a specialized company and you can immediately order edge processing (bevelling), as well as cutouts in the tabletop.
Here's another interesting idea. As you can see from the photo, the table base is made from the legs of old chairs.
Features of attic style doors
The fashion style originated in America when land rents skyrocketed in Manhattan in the 1940s. In one hour, any production on the island became unprofitable. Factory owners urgently moved their work sites outside the city. Abandoned workshops of abandoned enterprises stood as a reminder of the crisis for a long time, until enterprising real estate agents began renting out attic space for housing on the cheap.
The first to take advantage of the offer were people of creative professions – artists and musicians. They began to create their own studios in spacious workshops. While visiting exhibitions and concerts, bohemians appreciated the spontaneous interior of semi-residential premises, giving it the name loft (attic).
The style is distinguished by large and bright spaces in which all communications are open and there are practically no partitions and, as a result, doors. But the fashion for such design in loft interiors gained momentum and over time, such a design also affected small spaces. Therefore, there was a need to design all doorways according to the general style.
A distinctive feature of loft doors is their visual roughness. Materials for production can be any, but preference is given to wood and metal. Any defects that are even emphasized are welcome. Artificial aging is especially common.
Furniture made from boxes
Wooden boxes can be containers for storing fruit, but they are also an excellent building material.
You can make excellent multifunctional furniture from them: ottomans, shelving, wall-mounted walls, bedside tables, a storage chest and an exclusive coffee table.
To make loft furniture from boxes you will need a screwdriver, self-tapping screws, sandpaper, primer, paint or varnish, and brushes.
DIY loft furniture from pallets
Just like from boxes, you can assemble almost any piece of furniture from pallets: a bed, a sofa, a dining table and a coffee table, an armchair, a pouf, a bedside table and a TV stand, a rack, a shoe rack, shelves, sun loungers, a bar counter.
You can purchase such building materials inexpensively on Avito. The price for one used pallet is from 50-200 rubles. The cost depends on the degree of wear and tear. It is also possible to purchase new pallets.
To make furniture you will need:
- sandpaper with coarse and fine grain;
- hacksaw;
- hammer and nails, self-tapping screws;
- pliers;
- screwdriver;
- tape measure, pencil;
- paint, brushes, gloves;
- antiseptic, varnish or oil for furniture.
The production process of any furniture is almost the same, the only difference lies in the design itself. Everything is clearly visible from the photographs. But it’s still worth drawing a sketch with calculations so as not to make mistakes.
Stages of work
It is important to prepare the pallets well before you begin assembly.
- 1. Clean and sand the wooden stands from dust and dirt using sandpaper.
- 2. Cut them with a hacksaw.
- 3. Coat the workpieces with primer and dry.
- 4. Apply a decorative protective coating.
- 5. Assemble the structure and secure the parts together with screws or nails.

Loft style is free and rough. And interiors in this style are often not fully finished. All electrical and pipes remain on the surface. The latter may well look good if you pay attention to their appearance, for example, paint them white or leave the clean metal ennobled.
