Do you want clients to flock to your office like doves to a dovecote? An office in style is the solution to the problem! Why? After all, loft in English means “attic”, “dovecote”. Many private entrepreneurs and owners of rental premises have become convinced of the attractive power of such offices for clients. Of course, the name has nothing to do with it. In fact, clients are attracted by the unusual flavor of the loft office.
Why does a loft-style office have such enchanting magnetism? What does such an office even look like? And if you want to make renovations in this style, won’t it cost you a pretty penny? Let's try to understand these issues.
"Unshaven" office
The fashionable style now is brutality in everything. Carelessness in clothes, imitation of unironed trousers, three days of unshavenness, deliberately uncombed hair - and you are the most stylish person in the team. Such trends have not bypassed the design of premises. Offices of companies that deal with clients and want to impress them unique interior, choose loft style design.
And it all started not with fashion, but with production necessity. A little less than a hundred years ago, at the beginning of its existence, the loft was created by itself, when abandoned factories, industrial enterprises and even prisons were converted into offices and living quarters.
Nowadays, to create a loft it is not necessary to use a warehouse or factory. You can take any apartment and remove all partitions if possible. You can artificially age some materials. Three-day stubble is actually the result of careful care for a growing beard. Likewise, the loft style is not the result of the absence of a cleaner in your office, but a carefully developed and executed design.
A loft interior can make yours a landmark in a neighborhood or even a city. Young people or people of creative professions especially like this style. After all, it reflects their lifestyle: freedom and originality. Therefore, if you have an art group, you should think about renovating in a loft style. But isn't such a renovation too expensive compared to other interior styles?
How to make a loft inexpensively
A loft is characterized by a large amount of free space. Pipes, brick walls, the concrete floor is not hidden, but emphasized. Elements of old and new are combined. For example, furniture and electrical appliances can be in high-tech style, but retro furniture is also perfect.
A brick wall can be either natural, well restored, or an imitation of brickwork.
Some essential features of a loft:
- high ceilings and huge windows;
- lack of offices (the space can, if desired, be divided only by low partitions);
- a combination of modern and retro finishing materials;
- engineering systems, such as electrical wiring or heating, are not hidden (if desired, you can partially hide communications by covering them with plasterboard);
- minimalism in the amount of furniture (this saves money!).
An original addition to the style are posters and signs typical of factories or industrial garages, as well road signs or graffiti. For example: “You can’t park here.” And for the post-Soviet space, slogans like “glory to labor” can become a decoration. If you don't like posters, you can use paintings by abstract artists. But these design elements need to be used in moderation.
If the renovation is carried out without artificially aging the materials, then its cost will be quite low compared to the renovation of an office cabinet system. If there are old radiators, ventilation and water pipes A loft interior is easy to create: just clean these design elements perfectly.
Don’t forget that the brutality of the loft is feigned, it only creates the appearance of sloppiness. In fact, everything should be carefully sanded and coated with a protective varnish.
That is why an awkward-looking office will be a cozy and desirable place to work for the entire team. How else does the loft atmosphere affect office workers?
Besides creative design and an abundance of curious clients, by choosing a loft-style office, you get another benefit. An office without offices or partitions makes all workers accessible to each other. Time is saved when walking from office to office in order to clarify any production issue.
The feeling of freedom and spread wings in the presence of a huge free space stimulates workers to creative approach at work. Inspiration will settle in your office forever. And a lunch break can easily turn into a corporate party.
American industrialists of the middle of the last century, renting out only slightly converted premises of empty factories and factories as cheap housing, hardly felt like the founders of a new style in interior design.
Nevertheless, the gloomy simplicity of smoky workshops, warehouses and workshops, contrary to all expectations, appealed not only to poor students and artists, but also to high society bohemia.
The latter, tired of the invariably chic, seemingly combed and ironed environment, initially used the abandoned industrial area for parties and avant-garde shows, and then moved to live here altogether, completely displacing students and artists.
The new style began to be called briefly and succinctly - Loft, which translated from English means “attic”.
In our country, Loft was “tried” quite recently and most out-of-the-box lovers of new and unusual solutions he liked it. We'll talk about how Loft manifests itself in different environments.
Following the main traditions of the style, the loft office is transformed from a set of cramped closets into one huge space with high ceilings and panoramic windows.
This organization of workspace today is called Open Office or Coworking, while employees of one or several different companies can be located in a combined room.
The maximum that can be allowed in design office loft, is a device of low partitions that delimit the space into “cubes”. Neo from the legendary “Matrix” worked in one of these “cubes”.
All the attributes of a classic loft - unplastered brick, beams and cast-iron stairs, as well as powerful ventilation ducts laid openly along the walls - are welcome in the office.
Design of a restaurant and cafe in a loft style
Non-standard creative environment that creates an illusion parallel world, is the key to the success of any public establishment where people come to relax and have a snack. From this point of view, the loft seems to be a very effective solution.
- space;
- lack of finishing on brick or concrete walls (imitation is allowed);
- communications and bearing structures, exposed on display.
A loft-style restaurant is not divided into banquet and dining rooms: both areas are parts of one room. To separate them, you can use furniture, translucent partitions or a specially selected type of lighting.
Restaurant furniture in the loft style is characterized by functionality and minimalism. But these concepts should not be confused with excessive modesty.
Ultra-modern or vintage furniture fits best into a loft. Discreet and calm is welcome color palette with a well-defined emphasis on one of the tones.
Most suitable material for furniture in the loft style - chromed metal and glass.
Restaurants, bars and similar places are evening establishments; the bulk of visitors flock here after dark. Therefore, such a characteristic Loft technique as huge floor-to-ceiling windows becomes ineffective here.
The natural in the restaurant is replaced with a set of strict, monotonous ones, suspended by means of long strings or brackets at a low height.
The design of a restaurant in a loft style somewhat limits the designer, forcing him to shift the emphasis to the side universal solutions. This is due to the diversity and level of the public visiting enterprises of this kind.
The design of a cafe as a more youthful establishment can be much more bold and extravagant.
Here the stylized and expressive interior, and the columns, trusses and rough boards on the floor characteristic of the Loft can, due to lack of space, be performed purely symbolically.
Apartments
In the apartments of our compatriots, the loft is still rather timidly represented, mainly because most of our city apartments have nothing to do with the concept of space. Nevertheless, a new style is of increasing interest to fans of unusual design.
The standard solution in our conditions is to create a studio - a relatively large room that combines a kitchen and a living room.
An apartment loft largely contradicts traditional concepts of comfort. Instead of bulky luxury furniture, it is customary to install light, functional items that take up as little space as possible.
At the same time, the loft setting is completely opposite to the usual home one: armchairs and sofas have a chassis and are installed at a distance from the walls. Sofas with “variable geometry” and anything that emphasizes the inconsistency characteristic of a loft are considered traditional.
A classic home loft, like any other, is considered to have no plaster finish. brickwork. In panel and concrete houses it can be imitated or replaced with an alternative - a conspicuous rough concrete surface and the same floors.
We must not forget about engineering networks, which, like visual propaganda, are demonstratively laid in the most visible place. Of course, in old houses such elements will have to be imitated with sections of pipes and ventilation ducts, as if protruding from the walls.
These simple techniques will help you recreate in your home that same loft that has been winning the hearts of millions around the world for more than 50 years.
Loft - architectural style XX-XXI centuries, assumes the location of the room on the upper floors (attic, attic) or industrial buildings(plants, factories, warehouses). If you prefer a non-standard approach, then opt for an industrial style - renting an office in a loft style is what you need.
The main difference between “loft” design is the combination of seemingly incompatible objects, combined into one whole space. Characteristics style:
- Use of untreated and rough surfaces (brick, stone, wood).
- A combination of ultra-modern furniture and appliances with elements of industrial design ( open pipes, batteries, reinforced concrete structures).
- Premises of free space, lack of walls and partitions.
- Minimalistic design, with a predominance of metal.
- Natural color palette - gray, white, black, blue shades.

- in the office area.
Loft - the ideal style for former industrial buildings
In this case, minimal renovation is necessary to creatively transform the existing space. In the new premises you will have to create stylish imitations.
How to decorate walls, ceiling and floor
- Loft-style walls give the impression of being deliberately carelessly finished, roughly processed.
Attention! Brickwork and concrete surfaces look ideal.
Brick walls are an integral attribute of loft style
Terracotta bricks can be distressed or painted white or gray colors. The combination looks great on different walls concrete and bricks. Design options for a loft-style concrete wall:
- the concrete is applied unevenly and loosely, emphasizing the texture of the finish;
- the concrete wall is painted white, gray, brick, turquoise, black;
- the wall is given the appearance of an antique, it is covered with cracks and stains.
It’s good if the room already has brick and concrete walls. Then all that remains is to clean them from dust and treat them with a colorless protective varnish. If the room is new, the walls are covered with a layer of concrete or brickwork is created by laying imitation tiles. Old communications (batteries, water and ventilation pipes) are restored and used for their intended purpose.
An interesting solution is to highlight one wall by decorating it wall panels under the tree.
- The design of the ceiling follows the traditions of industrial design: wiring and utilities are not hidden, and air conditioning pipes run under the ceiling. The tradition of the loft style requires that the ceilings be high, like in factory workshops. If the ceiling is not high, then you can decorate it with a grille that imitates an air intake, building it in LED backlight. Beams - metal and wood - fit perfectly into the interior. Apply and plasterboard structures, combined with lighting equipment.
Open wiring and utilities on the ceiling are a classic in industrial design
- For flooring You can choose any material, the main thing is to maintain a cool gray-brown color scheme. So, the floors can be:
- wooden (leading in popularity);
- cork with abrasions;
- liquid decorative;
- concrete;
- from ceramic tiles.
Floors combined from various materials. In this way, the general office space can be easily zoned into areas for employees, a guest area and a rest area.
- Industrial design ideas are also embodied in lighting, where a variety of lamps are used:
- imitating kerosene lanterns;
- spider chandeliers with rotating elements;
- American vintage lanterns with folding accordion mechanism;
- spotlights;
- Edison lamps made of brass;
- in high-tech style made of chromed metal;
- with frosted glass lampshades.
Lamps are suspended from the ceiling and lowered down on bundles of wires, an elongated rod, rods or folding structures.
The main principle of selection lighting fixtures- unusual and technogenic.
- Even in the office you need accessories. They could be:
- a large clock or many small wall clocks;
- abstract paintings;
- lush vegetation in tubs;
- graffiti;
- posters.
Graffiti - great option for wall decoration in youth and creative companies
Interior decor in industrial style not much, but it is defiantly bright.
It is necessary to have all kinds of equipment. Computers, TVs, air conditioners - all this creates a special working atmosphere.
Office furniture in loft style
The loft style organically uses furniture from such design trends as modern, high-tech, classic, Scandinavian style. Furniture items that fit perfectly into the interior:
- made of frosted or transparent glass;
- metal, slightly tinted with patina, chrome, brass;
- forged;
- wooden, primarily from rough boards;
- made of MDF and chipboard, imitating the texture of wood.
However, there are several conditions that must be met:
- furniture should not be deliberately new, it is better to artificially age wooden objects;
- furniture should have clear shapes;
- Light, elegant objects are not suitable - furniture products should look solid and impressive;
- openness furniture facades- a loft is characterized by the absence of doors in cabinets and cabinets; shelves and racks are usually not covered with glass;
- Drawers and boxes are used to store things.
Nuance! Loft furniture does not accept decorative excesses in the form of bright enamel or mosaic inserts, wood carvings, or complex fittings. Simplicity and reliability are the main features.
Loft furniture is devoid of decorative details
Another one important feature loft style furniture - it is equipped with wheels. Not just work chairs or tables, but even cabinets. This gives the furniture mobility, allowing it to be easily moved throughout the office area.
Wheels - convenient and practical element office furniture
Furniture in the office can be one color, then it is better to use the following colors:
- metallic silver;
- grey;
- beige;
- terracotta;
- brick;
- white.
IN small quantities black, olive, blue are welcome. At the same time, the office looks interesting, filled with different pieces of furniture painted in different colors and artificially aged.
Office interior in loft style
The loft style tends to minimize the number of furniture items. Therefore, you should not fill your office with many tables, chairs, and sofas. Only what is really necessary is the principle of selecting furniture products.
Each employee must be provided with a minimum amount of furniture, providing him with a desk and chair. When setting up an office, you can use one of the options when purchasing furniture:
- purchase modular structures - of the same type, one color;
- pick up items different styles and eras.
In the latter case, antique stores and flea markets will help, as well as advertisements for the sale of second-hand furniture.
Modular furniture designs are the easiest way to furnish an office
Important! In this case, it is necessary to carefully select items that, despite their heterogeneity, should be in harmony with each other. This is what gives the stunning effect of the loft style.
A resting place for employees or a guest area can be equipped with a sofa, armchairs, and a coffee table. For a loft style interior you will need a huge comfortable sofa, its upholstery is done:
- from a plain, dense fabric that matches the color scheme of the room;
- made of leatherette, even better, made of genuine leather;
- from suede.
The sofa should not look brand new, but in this case Minor abrasions are welcome. You will need a lot of chairs so that there is enough space for everyone. The following are used as single seats:
- office metal chairs;
- non-standard original designer chairs;
- forged benches;
- chairs and armchairs wicker from rattan or wicker;
- deep fabric retro chairs;
- even simple wooden boxes.
A coffee table can be either large or tiny, the main thing is that it is practical and comfortable. To store documents and work materials, you will need racks, cabinets, drawers, chests of drawers - wooden or metal. The administrative area is decorated with a counter made of glass, chromed metal or polished granite.
Furniture in the office can not only be placed along the walls, but also experimented by placing it at different angles, achieving maximum comfort for all employees.
