Lofts are cool, but they are difficult to decorate. Here is a sample of a great loft design from Metropolitan Home Magazine.
Notice the clever use of all neutral colors....
We love the use of yellow as punctuation. Very clever...
See the use of hallway as a functional space...
The kitchen warms up with accessories...
Here are a few lessons we've learned from looking at these photos:
1)Make use of awkward spaces by using built-in bookcases and desks.
2)Use neutral colors if that is your thing, but pump it up with splashes of colors.
3)Use accessories to warm up the space.
4)Don't stick to one type of furniture. Mix it up.
