Best Part of Living in a Loft
When many people think about urban lofts, they picture a wide-open space that serves many purposes. And while not every loft is constructed in such a fashion, many – probably the majority – are. So for the purposes of this article, that’s what we’re talking about.
An Artistic Blank Campus
Historically, lofts served as home and work for artistic sorts, whether they were musical performers or craftsmen. It made sense since a space with an open floor plan is basically a blank canvas. There are no interior walls that force you live according to someone else’s design. The ceilings are high so you feel open and free. What’s more, in the event that you choose to utilize some sort of dividers to define spaces, the choices are up to you.
Set up Your Space
Most people who live in lofts don’t feel the need to have a walled-in kitchen, living room or dining room. They appreciate the open and breezy feeling. They like being at the stove or sink and being able to see the TV, the front entryway, or out the large windows that are the trademark of numerous urban lofts.
If you need a little separation then visually dividing up space is simple. Put a table and chairs against the wall close to the kitchen and add some flowers. There’s the dining room. Put a sofa, some chairs and a few end tables near the TV. Find a cool rug to fill the gap between the two and ban! There’s the living room. Need much more definition? Purchase a sofa that is shaped like a L.
A Telecommuter’s Dream Home
Lofts are perfect for the telecommuter. The open space lends itself to creativity, openness and movement. As mentioned before, most modern lofts are still inspired by artist lofts where people would work and create in the same space. In today’s technological age it is the perfect blend for those who want to work at home but don’t want to be trapped in room that feels like an office.
If you are concerned that easy access to the TV and chores will be a distraction, then find some creative ways to separate the space. Put your office in the corner near the windows. Get a divider that inhibits you from seeing the entertainment center or piles of laundry. Then sit back and get some work done.
