Gimme this space!

The vastness, the openness, the potential! And those floor uplights. Oh, I'm breathless with ideas. It even has catwalks!

Wonderful!

So well done. The corner sofas really make this layout work. Piping on the upholstered backs is a must for seating pieces placed without walls or items behind them.

Well-appointed Penthouse Loft

A wonderful loft living room. I fully believe I NEED to live here.

Bright, Vast, and Clean

Here is an example of a very nice lofty space, but not necessarily a loft look and feel. My takeaway examples here are the stairways and railings, flooring, lighted niches, and wide-open furniture placement.

Modern, Gleamy Bedroom

I'm wowed by this space. I've been investigating lofts, wondering how I'd divide the areas. This modern, clean bedroom styling is covetable for almost any space, loft or not.

Achieve it with lacquered, ceiling-height cabinets and a dresser, two night tables, and a simple, streamlined bed and bedding—all in cool, clean, white. Keep flooring clean and light-toned, and top with a neutral area rug. The standout accents are the ceiling fixtures, with their gleamy, translucent drum-shaped screens.

The real eye catcher is the bed backdrop, which looks like a sheer curtain, suspended from a wide skylight. I'd think one could even fake the skylight using ceiling-mounted fluorescent tube fixtures, hidden by the curtain.

Can you imagine having this room? I'd love to recreate it!
