30 Inspiring Ideas for Decorating a Loft

Color scheme of the loft is an important detail when designing interior. If the loft doesn't have much space, it's better to use light tones during finishing, ideally white color.

Probably, the biggest disadvantage of a roof space is its volume. Not everyone likes limited space and sloped ceiling. Some tricks can help eliminate unpleasant feelings.

Mirror surfaces perfectly expand the visual space. Tall rectangular mirrors not only transform a room but also add light to it. Long decorative items, tall indoor plants, narrow pictures hung one above another, and photos also help to stretch the unusual space upwards.

Loft windows can be either vertical (placed on the gable) or slanted (an opening in the roof). While there are almost no issues with decorating the first type, there are more nuances when choosing curtains for the second.

There is a common belief that slanted loft windows let in less light. This is not true, as light transmission depends on the sun's position on the horizon. Also, such window openings look incredibly stylish.

Classic cornices and curtains do not suit loft windows. Special blinds, drapes, and mounting systems were created for them, which can now be purchased in any construction store or curtain and drapery shop.

One of the most common ways to organize a loft is as a multi-purpose room. Here you can create, sleep, read and enjoy silence away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. If the space allows it, divide it into several zones. For example, in an inconvenient-looking area under a slanted wall, you can place low furniture or sideboards. This way, you'll have an additional storage zone for bedding, books, children's toys, or crafting materials.

What if you turn the loft into an additional bathroom, bathed in romance?

Old furniture will significantly reduce costs for outfitting the loft. A vintage chest or grandmother's wardrobe will add style to the room.

A loft space is sure to please any child. Remember how much time we spent at grandmother's attic looking at the surroundings through a telescope. Besides, it is much more pleasant to do homework or entertain friends in a room under the roof.

Move your office to the loft. There will be enough space for storing business papers, books and computer equipment. Place a desk near the window opening, and for comfort lay down a small rug on the floor.

In general, a loft can have a huge variety of uses. From a romantic bedroom to a hookah room. How many pleasant emotions you will get when once forgotten space turns into a stylish and lived-in corner.
