Choosing carpets in a modern Loft style

The word “LOFT” comes from the Old Norse LOPT, which means room or air. In the 19th century, the English began to use the word to refer to the upper floors of warehouses or factories. The modern boom in transforming such spaces into residential spaces began in 1940 in the SoHo neighborhood of New York. By 1970, many of these conversions had been made, and the conversion of abandoned industrial buildings into habitats began. Typically, these were spacious dwellings without partitions. Now, the name Loft is translated from English as “attic”, “top floor”, “basement of a retail space”, “warehouse”, “garage”.

Loft style is a protest against convention, convention in thinking, convention in creation and convention in life, a celebration of the open concept of living and non-traditional habitats, a rejection of the mass housing market.

This style has its own certain appeal. High ceilings, open floor plans, rough-hewn floors, and brick walls provide a great alternative for city dwellers. Increasingly, city dwellers are finding that loft apartments offer the opportunity of city living with much more space than the average apartment.

In this loft style, dark wall colors are used: brown, black, dark blue, gray, dark purple. To add uniqueness, use new modern furniture. The floor can be restored by opening it with varnish. If it is a parquet board or laminate, lay a new one, while maintaining an industrial mood.

To prevent the room from seeming boring, choose a bright loft-style carpet . You can also use a carpet with large patterns - this will enliven the interior and add contrast to the dark, brick or concrete walls. A carpet with scuffs or graffiti will look very stylish. Collections without pile carpets Cottage , Artisan , Lodge are very suitable for such interiors. They seem to be made for such interiors, and they also serve very well. They clean well even with an old forgotten broom :)). You can even say that such carpets are “unkillable”.
