We were hired by the homeowners to help them decorate their rustic living room loft, dining room and foyer of their beautiful Chicago loft.
How We Helped this Couple
For this interior decorating project, we developed a floor plan, selected the furniture pieces, and picked paint, furniture, lighting, artwork, and accessories.
Mixing Different Styles
When it came to selecting the furniture for the home, the home owners wanted to have a modern space, however, they also wanted to pull in pieces, colors and fabrics that were a bit more welcoming. To pull this off we paired up a set of Barcelona chairs, with a clean yet modern sofa. At the center, we selected a bold coffee table covered in shiny aluminum offers storage and a place to rest your magazines and drinks, while also helping to brighten up the large space.
Creating Spaces with Rugs
We love designing for loft homes, however, creating individual spaces can be a bit tricky due to the massive size of the spaces. To break up the living room and dining room from each other, we used a large floor rug with bold patterns for the living room.
Bold Artwork and Accessories
As with any great home, artwork and accessories make the space sing. This project was no exception. Various vases, throw pillows, artwork and framed family portraits are strategically placed throughout the space to give it that finished look: home.
Dining for 8 Guests
Mixing up dining chairs with more traditional upholstered head chairs and more sculpture side chairs in a crisp white create an inviting space to gather with friends and family for dinner.
Coordinating Materials
For the dining room, a large rustic table with metal legs was selected to coordinate with the vintage look of the loft. Modern dining chairs were selected to help tie the dining room in with the modern seating of the living room. It’s important (especially in open loft spaces) to make sure all of your rooms coordinate.
Breakfast Bar Seating
Because the kitchen ties in with the rest of the living and dining room, we selected a set of 4 rustic bar stools and updated the original countertop with wood trim to tie it in with the rest of the space.
