You follow the fashion and love the loft style, butafraid that you will not be able to correctly translate your ideas into reality? We looked into one of Rio de Janeiro's trendy lofts and figured out how to do the same. Details - in our article For an example, we have chosen one of the brightest and most fashionable interiors over the past six months. Authorship belongs to RO + CA studio. The apartment was conceived as an analogue of New York youth lofts, but the result was so interesting that now Americans are sharing their Brazilian experience in developing innovative interiors.

Living room

We'll start with the living room. It is in the 120-meter loft is central. The authors focused on the fact that the apartment is inhabited by a 30-year-old young man who loves to invite friends and conduct noisy, cheerful parties. Concrete walls, minimalism, pipes and appropriate lighting really take us to the club atmosphere of New York, which sleeps and eats at parties. Large cozy fuchsia sofa in the centerthe room suggests that the owner of the apartment clearly gravitates towards some kind of pretentiousness. Perhaps he is a musician, or a radio presenter on a fashionable radio, or a stylist for a large shopping gallery. Very progressive and modern. The original light panel in the form of the English phrase "everything is fine", or ok, adds even more bright American chic to the interior. In a small but cozy dining room, the friends of the loft owner probably drink strong, fragrant tea after the parties that last for midnight and share their impressions.

Kitchen

The kitchen in the Brazilian loft attracts attentionwith some cinematography, it resembles the ideal studio kitchens of some culinary show. But despite this, the kitchen area is clearly very functional. We see that there is nothing superfluous, but the space is quite enough, the built-in technology and conveniently placed cabinets complete the idealistic picture. In fact, the whole secret of this cuisine is in strict verification. Everything is done strictly according to plan and in centimeter accordance. Dark furniture and lacquer coatings added to the lack of a common interior of "high cost". The hood is made very interestingly.A wide pipe just sticks out of the ceiling. But the authors of the project assure that it should be so, that this is part of the industrial loft style. The kitchen bar stool makes the bar counter even more unusual. If you look from this angle, you get the impression that we are still in some very fashionable club.

Bathroom

The bathroom pleases the eye with almost one hundred percent classics. Soft pastel colors, marble, ikebana, a wide square shell (also a highlight), bedside tables with elongated handles. But we are returned to the industrial reality of the loft untreated stone and concrete, undeveloped walls. In the mirror you can fall in love. It consists of four oval parts. Not very practical, but incredibly beautiful. Do not worry, this mirror can be ordered in any workshop. Now the mirrors are cut as desired by the customer.

Bedroom

The bedroom in the loft is designed in the style of strict minimalism. In the sleeping area, a bed, a reproduction of a club billboard and a bedside table with a glamorous inscription Chanel. Notice, a stylish bedside table is done by hand in exactly 5 minutes - airbrush on the stencil, stencils are sold in each interior shop. The bedroom has a comfortable work area.When the owner gets tired of the noise and friends, he retires to his impromptu office and writes a book or visualizes another super design. The interior of the loft is not Brazilian at all. You have seen for yourself the ease of its execution. It is enough to free up a maximum of space, not touch the walls, do not decorate them with anything and make a couple of very bright accents: a fuchsia sofa, neon lights, a Barbie image, an oil barrel from Chanel - and your loft will become trendy in the blink of an eye. In the meantime, a few practical tips for daredevils who have already drawn their ideal loft in their minds.

  • Open all possible space. Do not overload the room with furniture and decor.
  • Use original fixtures. If you do not find it in the store - do it yourself.
  • Do not throw away old posters and other polygraphs. It can be varnished and used as a picture in your loft.
  • Try to do without carpeting and carpets. They are unacceptable in loft style.
  • The door in the loft can be anything, up to a wide iron roller blind. There is room for imagination here.
  • Do not rush to wallpaper your concrete walls, it is possible that this coating can be used as the main design element.
