After decades of saturation super-practical, but standardized and completely monotonous residential areas, the mere thought of living in the loft excites the possibilities inherent in these high areas of slanted and unusual surfaces.

There are various types of loft and each of them carries deficiencies or potential, because there are no strict rules which you must keep in organizing and designing. Actually, it all depends on how low the roof down to the floor and what is the amount of space left in the center. By organizing the space into several altitude levels, you will obtain additional usable space. Such an organization could look very attractive and interesting. If it is possible in the upper zones of the loft to organize the gallery, it can be a great bedroom or work space. Furthermore, the visual attractiveness will contribute to leaving visible load-bearing elements of the roof structure, which can additionally be pointed out ambient light. Inclined roof surface is typically best left in white, while the warmth and charm are achieved by combining different materials and textures on the floors and furniture.
