New Year, new trends. Not
just in the world of fashion, but in interior design, too. If you’re planning
on starting your year with a loft conversion, you’ll want to make sure it looks
the part for a modern 2016 home. Here are the best
loft conversion ideas that are making the interior
design headlines this year:
Industrial Elements
The
industrial look has been a trend in loft conversion design for some years now,
but in 2016 it looks set to really take off.
Use
brick cladding or brick-effect wall paper to give one wall the exposed brick
look. Or alternatively, why not use lots of steel elements such as exposed
steel beams, to give your loft a modern touch? This look works particularly
well if the loft conversion is going to be a self-contained unit. Think
Manhattan loft apartment style!
Natural Elements
Natural
elements will play a part in all modern interior design projects in 2016, not
just loft conversions. If the industrial look is too harsh for you, why not try
a wood cladded wall, or wooden exposed beams? This is slightly more rustic than
the industrial trend, but still modern and contemporary.
Printed Fabrics
Fabrics
that can have motifs printed on them – such as cotton and burlap – will
continue to be big in 2016. Add touches of these to your loft conversion in the
form of both throw cushions on beds or within seating areas, and framed printed
burlap signs and pictures.
Remember
to keep the natural colour of the fabric, rather than having it dyed a
different shade, so as to be in keeping with the natural elements trend.
Monochrome Bedrooms
In stark
contrast to the natural look, many modern bedrooms will lose their colour in
2016. Monochrome will be in in a big way. Think a strong, black wooden bedframe
with plain white, simple bed linen, and perhaps contrasting black throw
cushions arranged on top.
Similarly,
walls will be whiter than white, and interest will be added in the form of
chunky black photo frames with black and white prints inside.
Whichever
trend takes your fancy in 2016, Bespoke Lofts can help with getting it right.
