Cabinets in the style of "loft" in the interior

When setting up loft-style housing, it is necessary to remember its main difference: the combination of antiquities and modernity. These characteristics should have the furniture of this direction, cabinets are not an exception. Here both multifunctional ultramodern transformers and old peeling furniture are used. Such furniture fits into the loft interior and makes it unique.

The emergence of the loft style is associated with increased land prices in America in the forties of the last century. Then it led to the desolation of all factory buildings in downtown New York. But the premises were not empty: they attracted the bohemian public with their high ceilings and large windows. The original premises received the status of prestigious housing, which remains relevant until now.

The most characteristic feature of the style is the walls of unpainted brick, there are concrete surfaces, metal. Loft is quite simple, but today it is considered an elite style.

Previously, in such rooms there were no bright accents that even today need to be used with great care. Designers characterize the loft as a style without unnecessary details. It is spacious, simple and functional furniture.

Loft is divided into the following areas:

• Bohemian;
• glamorous;
• industrial.

Bohemian loft differs by the view of an abandoned industrial building. It is appropriate to antique furniture, which has a history - for example, cabinets, found in antique shops, flea markets, attics. Such specimens diluted deliberate industrialism.

In a glamorous manner, the rudeness of the industrial atmosphere must be diluted with something elegant: for example, classical or baroque furniture. Such luxury will be a contrast in the interior of the loft.

Industrial (industrial) direction.To create such an environment, furniture should be of strict forms, minimalist. In order to give the furniture an unusual look, in the industrial style, the absence of doors in the sideboards and cabinets is allowed.

This style assumes minimal furnishing, however, it is simply impossible to do without some items of furniture in the dwelling - for example, wardrobes for clothes. These are types such as wardrobe, wardrobe with hinged doors and built-in model.

The sliding wardrobe is equipped with sliding door systems, which significantly saves space. This approach is inherent in a loft - with its minimum number of walls. The shape of the product vary.

The sliding wardrobe happens:

• linear;
• radius;
• angular;
• trapezoidal.

Loft style is expressed in the design of the coupe with a facade decorated with mirrors. For wooden facades of this style are characterized by aged surfaces. Often, designers use cabinet framing using imitation brickwork. The most characteristic model for this style is a large mirror cabinet, which further expands the boundaries of space.

A wardrobe fitted with hinged doors is also appropriate in a loft style. The old model of the cabinet is very suitable for the style and fits into its concept. As a rule, this is a one-door, two-door version, there is also a 3-door wardrobe with drawers.

The facades are decorated as follows:

• perforation;
• metal upholstery;
• clear glass.

Built-in wardrobe in the loft interior is always original. There are no rear and side walls, and the doors can be decorated in different ways. It is appropriate for the loft to look built-in 2-door wardrobe with sliding doors. It can be decorated with chaotic stylized inscriptions.

Raw materials used for loft-style cabinets are traditional. These are wood chipboards LDSP, MDF. Of particular importance is the decoration of facades:

• Tree it is used in combination with other materials. Wooden facades are typical for classic models. Belonging to the industrial style provides a tree painted in different colors. Often it is combined with a mirror, plastic.
• Metal in the design should be applied very moderately.Excessive fascination with them will lead to care in high-tech style. There will be enough elements and inserts of metal on the facades.

• Imitation brickwork is the main focus of the loft. It is not necessary that all the doors be decorated like this: it is enough to make at least one compartment door with such a finish, and the other door can be performed in a tree.
• Mirror reflects all the objects, doubling them, so the room becomes enlarged visually, which is so characteristic of a loft. It is necessary to fix the mirror on the entire door (without a frame) or in the form of fragments, as well as imitation of a cracked mirror - by means of cracking technology.
• Glass came to replace the traditional wooden facade. A display cabinet is also characteristic of this style. However, do not do sandblasted drawing on glass - it is too modern.

The color palette of loft furniture is restrained. This is explained by the fact that industrial facilities (factories and plants), as a rule, did not differ in bright colors.

The most characteristic shades:

• white;
• Gray;
• the black;
• brown;
• beige.

Wardrobe made of wood in a brown color is clearly a classic character. But it will be completely transformed, if the surface of the cabinet is aged and the wooden fragments painted blue or red are added - this will already be a loft.

The built-in model, which has hinged doors, is decorated with metal. The doors are decorated with black metal frame, inside which shines gray. And the nails are clearly visible, which adds originality.

In the interior of the loft closet has a special meaning. It is intended not only for storage, with the help of this piece of furniture room separation is possible. Due to the lack of partitions, which is so characteristic of a loft, it is better to zone large spaces with furniture.

Designers share techniques for placing furniture:

• cabinets do not need to be placed very close to the wall - this will allow to achieve the effect of empty space;
• Experts recommend choosing models of small height for zoning;
• a tall closet in this style can disturb the loft space;
• it is possible to divide the bedroom and kitchen area with a deep closet of considerable width, with through-shelves where the decorative stuff is placed;
• you can leave the closet without any doors;
• You can install built-in lighting on antique furniture - this move is very much in line with the loft style.

You can arrange loft-style wardrobes in almost any room of the apartment:

• The cabinet in the loft kitchen is placed along the short wall. On the contrary, you can put a bar or dining table made of solid wood.
• The bedroom will look good products with mirrors.
• In the bathroom, you can also put a wardrobe in the style of a loft: it should be low, and it should be placed near the sink.
• For the hallway closet - a great option, especially if it is hidden in a niche. In the frame of the cabinet is appropriate imitation of the masonry of white brick. The facade is suitable from metal, wood or combined.
