Can a loft look unusual?How to express the desire for originality and freedom in personal space? Can street art invade living quarters? Let's try to consider these questions using a real example from Moscow. This apartment is located in a former grocery store building. The total area of the space is 350 square meters, of which 180 are allocated for the living room, dining room and kitchen. A young man lives here. The absence of partitions in the room became a real expanse for the designer's imagination. Skillful zoning, play of textures, graffiti, a combination of luxury with simplicity, accent details - all this is an interesting project by designer Natalia Bespalova. This is eclecticism (a mixture of styles) with elements of the East and male brutality. Let's see what happened.
Graffiti: Street Art Inside the Home
Graffiti in residential areas is rare.on a brick wall this option takes place. A bright positive picture in this interior has become an accent unifying zone of the entire space. Modular sofas are like a continuation of the wall and act as juicy splashes in the interior. Visually, this technique makes the room even more spacious. In addition, it turned out to make the space unusual, to add a twist to it. Note how well the lighting is selected, which enlivens the picture, makes it brighter, more dynamic.
Zoning as an art
The loft style involves the design of space withoutdividing into separate rooms. creates the illusion of separate rooms. The kitchen and dining area in the interior is separated from the living room by columns and a multi-level floor (also called a designer podium). In this case, it has a decorative function. Visually, such an area dominates and draws attention to itself. Also, the lower lighting in front of the podium steps became a dividing element between them. But that's not all. Each of these halves is also divided into sections. For example, in the living room there is a TV area and a round seating area, which contains many modular sofas of different colors and textures. The decorative podium became an excellent zoning element. It also turned out to adjust the height of the space and harmoniously fit part of a large pipe into the round seating area, which was deepened a little. Our opinion: - In the loft style, some expressive element in form must dominate. In this case, it is the exhaust pipe above the table. The decorative podium was also used in the design of the private area - the bedroom. The unusual wooden ceiling became an accent detail.
Mirror reflection
The living area also attracts attention.a luxurious mirror ceiling divided into several fragments. Thus, the space is visually clearly delimited into different sections. Thanks to the mirrors, the windows visually become more spacious, and the room brighter, due to the reflection of multi-colored sofas in them. The golden decorative elements of the mirror ceiling are in tune with other objects in the interior. The style of gold and mirrors in the bathroom is supported.
Original items
It is worth noting that the interior looks interestingalso thanks to unusual interior items. A Harley Davidson motorcycle was placed between the dining room and the kitchen as a connecting fragment. Quite unexpected for a living space. It brings a masculine mood to the interior, emphasizes the freedom-loving character of the loft owner, his passion for speed and movement. The gramophone with a golden horn attracts attention. The retro atmosphere is felt in every corner of the space, and even in the bathroom. Pay attention to the place under the sink. An old sewing machine is installed here - another original element of this interior. The dining table made of rough oak boards also makes an impression, it marks the dining area. After the renovation, the tabletop was installed on a car engine (with wheels for easy movement). Large pipes with a rusty coating are everywhere in this loft. Despite this effect, the industrial atmosphere as a whole looks very warm and cozy, and the spotlights installed in the hallway create a mysterious atmosphere and set the mood from the threshold.
