Soft loft style interiors and lamps - check if they are for you
Soft loft, where coziness meets minimalism
For many years, the frugal minimalist style fought in interiors against the decorative and tradition-drawing classical style. Modern interiors have been simplified in their expression both in terms of materials and patterns or even the amount of furniture and accessories present in them. Also, the color palette used in interiors has been reduced to a minimum, with white black and gray dominating the spaces of modern houses and apartments.
More and more users, however, value convenience and comfort more than trends. We need our home to become an asylum, a place where we relax after work, where we relax in the evening, where we meet with friends, where we hide away for hours with our favorite TV series and a mug of hot tea, where we read a book and take a nap. Minimalist or industrial style, which draws inspiration from austere factory spaces, is not for everyone a space suitable for indulging in this kind of relaxation.
The contemporary answer to the need for coziness in a modern interior is soft loft style, which combines features of minimalist industrial style with elements characteristic of modern style. The industrial base is enriched here with soft fabrics and colorful accessories. Concrete and steel meet warm wood in this kind of interior. Soft loft style apartments combine industrial rawness with coziness and warmth, and their arrangements are often based on contrasts:
- combination of raw and warm materials, for example, powder-coated metal, brick or material imitating concrete with warm oak wood and soft fabrics,
- juxtaposition of warm and cold shades. The strict, minimalist, industrial color scheme based on white, gray and black is often broken with colorful accents and accessories in sunny yellow, orange or red,
- walls often covered with micro-cement imitating concrete, contrast with single walls covered with wallpaper,
- modern, simple chairs and sofas, are decorated with soft blankets and pillows, and the large windows are wrapped with gray curtains of thick material,
- the austere style of simple, functional furniture will be softened by potted plants or a bookshelf,
Thus, the soft loft style, which is inspired by the simplicity and naturalness of the industrial style, is dedicated to lovers of modernism, but in a less minimalist and more cozy form. Are you looking for just such an interior? Check, what lamps fit into soft loft style interiors.
