Ultimate Loft Apartments"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we wanted to find some of the ultimate loft apartments to get ideas for decorating and design and d\u00e9cor.\u00a0 In our business, we are lucky enough to see some of the most beautiful and tasteful loft apartments.\u00a0 No matter the size, they feature some of the most creative decorating and design ideas.\u00a0 The key to loft living is the ability to blend form and function.\u00a0 Whether working with a smaller budget or one where money is no object, there are ideas and ways to make a loft look like a true showplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goop.com\/journal\/see\/85\/a-race-to-renovate\"><br \/>\n<\/a>Ultimate Loft Kitchen.<\/strong> \u00a0We all know space and storage are the key elements to a perfect kitchen.\u00a0 Loft kitchens have the task of adding stylish flair to the need for space and storage.\u00a0 In this loft kitchen where space is definitely an issue, the designer took into account all of the elements to make it a fully functioning kitchen.\u00a0 It has space to work and plenty of storage for utensils, equipment and food combined with an inviting design that flows with the rest of the open area.\u00a0 While there were probably no budget constraints, ideas to take from this are the L-shaped countertops with sink and range\u00a0 with countertops above and below as well as the work table\u00a0that doubles as a place to have a quick breakfast or lunch (we talked about this in a<a href=\"http:\/\/dallastxlofts.com\/blog\/2012\/09\/ideal-loft-kitchens.html\"> blog<\/a> earlier this month).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Ultimate Loft Lighting.<\/strong>\u00a0 Lighting can a bit of a bugaboo when it comes to ensuring there is enough light in a loft.\u00a0 First and foremost, most lofts have huge windows which provide a lot of natural light at different times of the day.\u00a0 From there, it is important to decide how to light the rest of the loft so that it complements the natural light.\u00a0\u00a0 This loft shows contemporary monorail lighting placed across the ceiling to accent the natural light during the day as well as provide enough light in the evening.\u00a0Monorail and cable lighting are two contemporary and subtle ways to add the right amount of light without making the actual fixtures a focal point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><strong>Ultimate Loft Aesthetics<\/strong>.\u00a0 Interior designers are well trained in using the original elements around them when redesigning a loft apartment.\u00a0 Because many of them are in rehabbed factory and warehouse buildings, it is common to have exposed pipes, open ceilings, support beams and exposed brick walls.\u00a0 There is nothing more stylish than to see a loft that incorporates these original elements.\u00a0 In this loft, all of the former elements of the factory are incorporated as a major part of the design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Ultimate Two-Story Loft.<\/strong>\u00a0 For loft space that has enormously high ceilings, designers and architects have the ability to add a second floor in order to maximize the space.\u00a0The most popular way to add a second floor to a warehouse loft is to use beams and supports to add an exposed area with contemporary railing and a staircase to the upper part of the loft.\u00a0 If there is enough space above, an idea is to create a hallway of sorts where artwork and bookcases become a focal point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p><strong>Ultimate Use of Loft Space.<\/strong>\u00a0 The main aesthetic of a loft apartment is the openness of the space.\u00a0 Usually just one huge room, the main goal is to create the illusion of separate rooms without putting up walls that do away from the biggest draw.\u00a0 To do this, it is important to decide what \u201crooms\u201d need the most natural light and then lay out the rest of the home to flow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ultimate in Loft Apartments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The perfect warehouse loft apartments have an ease about them that makes people gravitate to them and home dwellers never want to leave.\u00a0 No matter the size or the layout of the space, there are ways to incorporate form and function to create the ultimate in loft apartments.\u00a0 Just get creative!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we wanted to find some of the ultimate loft apartments to get ideas
