Loft conversions offer home
owners a completely blank canvas to create their new room within. So why not
fill that canvas with something out of the norm? If you’re looking for
something a little bit wow, here are our top trendy design tips.
Looking
for slightly different loft conversions? Walthamstow
residents seem to be seeking out the wow factor of late, and who can blame
them? Creating a loft conversion is like having a blank canvas at the top of
your home, ready to be filled with all your design ideas.
But
what exactly counts as different in the world of loft conversions? Here are
four trendy design ideas which will turn heads within your conversion:
Show off your Curves
Curves
seem to be the in thing in interior design at the moment. From curved kitchen
cupboards through to circular tub chairs, everything fashionable seems to be
slightly rounded.
Loft
conversions can work curves into their designs, too. Floor to ceiling windows
can be finished with a curved top, for example, to give an almost church-like
feel to a large space. Alternatively, mezzanine floors are all the rage, and
you could create a circular one for something a little bit different.
Mix it Up
Like
the industrial look but live in a period property? No problem, it’s fashionable
at the moment to incorporate touches of the industrial within period charm. So,
use the likes of large air conditioning pipes to add that functional feel to a
room which also features beautifully traditional wooden beams.
If
you are going to mix styles, such as industrial and period, then remember to
always soften the look with your styling. Add soft throws to beds, for example,
or display contemporary art in an array of colours and mismatched frames
propped atop of a beam.
Other
looks to try mixing are the likes of Manhattan loft chic – think exposed
brickwork and large windows - with traditional fixtures, fittings and furniture
(dark wood works surprisingly well with this look) and minimalist with brightly
coloured retro furniture.
Nice and White
White
never goes out of fashion, and works in all sorts of rooms: bedrooms,
bathrooms, studies, guest bedrooms, even playrooms.
The
key is to add just one accent colour to make it stylish. In a games room, for
example, add large fawn coloured lamps above the pool table, a soft fawn sofa
in front of a large screen TV and fawn stools at the bar. In a guest bedroom,
add something softer, like a cool blue in the likes of bedspreads and bedside
lamps.
If
you do use white for a playroom, use a durable, wipe clean paint on the walls
and add interest by displaying your children’s artwork in bright white box
frames.
In the Nook
Using
the nooks and crannies of your conversion wisely is very much of the moment.
This means installing a romantic-yet-stylish free standing bathtub in chimney
breast alcoves to create interest, or turning any odd ‘wings’ of a loft
conversion room into a mini chill out den, complete with built in chaise longue
style seating and row upon row of shelves filled with books.
No
matter what your room is to be used for, there are ways and means of making it
that little bit more hip. Contact Bespoke Lofts for more information about how
we could bring the wow factor into your loft conversion.
