The trend toward loft living is increasing. We see more lofts being built than ever. Traditionally, lofts were conversions from old factory and warehouses. Recently, however, more builders are building loft-style developments throughout the country from coast to coast.
Lofts are cool, but they are difficult to decorate. Here is a sample of a great loft design from Metropolitan Home Magazine.

1)Make use of awkward spaces by using built-in bookcases and desks.
2)Use neutral colors if that is your thing, but pump it up with splashes of colors.
3)Use accessories to warm up the space.
4)Don't stick to one type of furniture. Mix it up.
