Having a loft space in your apartment is a huge bonus.
No one has ever complained about extra square feet. But, people have complained when it comes time to decide what to do with that space.
The half-open format of a loft is tricky to decorate but, by no means impossible. Here are some great ideas on how to maximize your loft space without getting a headache.
- Yoga Area
- Save money on a gym membership and invest in your place. Pick up some yoga mats, free weights and anything else you use throughout your workout routine.
- Guest Room
- A futon and cute rug can turn your loft space from empty to inviting. This is perfect for the people who seem to always have overnight guests and don’t want to share the bed. Give everyone their own space and take advantage of your loft.
- Study Area
- Some good bookshelves, a cozy chair and maybe a desk can morph a blank room into the perfect place to focus. Forget about heading to the library and enjoy a study space customized to you.
- Movie Room
- Hang up a projector and grab some bean bag chairs for a retro movie room that will impress all of your friends. On rainy nights when the bars aren’t an option and you just want to relax you’ll be ecstatic about this homemade movie theatre.
If you’re lucky enough to get an apartment with a loft, have some fun with it. Enjoy the freedom to decorate your loft however you’d like.
