#eclectic loft

Beautiful artist’s loft in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is an artsy and eclectic mix of French, Asian and Mid-Century modern furnishings and decor unite in this vibrant and colorful loft space. The result is bold, unexpected and energetic.

Artist Lydia has a spacious loft apt. full of all sorts of treasures.

Everything is neatly displayed, but the place is so big, it really doesn’t look cluttered.

There’s something so homey and warm, even though it’s a vast space.

Colorful art hangs on the wall and large art books are stored in a flea market shelf.

More artwork.

Shoes and jewelry stored on a small shelf.

Shelves made out of a simple large ladder holds lots of kitchen things.

Aside from making art, Lydia likes to cook.

Bright table cloth.

Old photographs and art are on display with dishes.

The work table in front of window that gives natural light.

Cute sleeping area.

Lydia’s many collections on display. This is a lovely apt.

This is a stunning, unusual  loft apt. in Los Angeles, California. There’s a large, illuminated, upholstered bench built into the wall, and a special demi lune table to fit it.

The space is large, but has a cozy feel. 

In the living room area there’s plenty seating and a black wall unit to match the wraparound built-in seating.

The industrial look is offset by a large rustic feature wall.

Under the industrial metal stairs is a vintage bar. 

Sharp black & white bath on the first floor.

The kitchen is very large and has a brick wall with a window to the upstairs bedroom.

Warm, cozy bedroom.

Naomi’s beautiful, colorful, eclectic loft in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Look at the mix of color and pattern. 

This is amazing- beautiful furniture in an industrial loft with pipes and heating ducts, in addition to dramatic sky lights, and wood beams. 

What a striking wall- love the white and pink against the royal blue.

And, on an nearby wall she has a softer bird themed wallpaper and zebra chairs.

Here’s a funky thing- one of those 60s mineral oil lamps on a pedestal. 

Like this little vintage pink cage painted pink and housing a succulent.

Colorful reading corner.

White washed bricks and a bar cart against a black wall with colorful modern art.

The bedroom is done in lovely soft blues and pinks.

The kitchen is small, but has a full size stove and fridge. 

This professionally decorated loft is so beautifully done. Love the table and mismatched chairs.

You don’t usually see drapes in lofts b/c they have huge windows, but it does soften the look. They chose casual furniture and a checkered feature wall.

The casual living room area is warm and contemporary. The oversized spotlight, rocking chair, shabby-chic red metal chairs, thick rug, asymmetric sculpture and trendy sofa, is all you need to make a living room area super chic and mellow.

The kitchen is smart and functional. It has at least 3 ovens.  The red lacquer wall and shiny black Smeg refrigerator bring the wow factor.

The bedroom is draped in plush fabrics. It’s very restful in the evening.

But, by day, it takes on a different look and has a pop of red from a corner chair.

Overlooking the bedroom is a home office. The red lanterns hanging throughout are reminiscent of hot air balloons.

The bathroom has a modern take on a clawfoot tub against a sleek shiny black wall. Worn-look exotic tiles provide contrast.

The old painted brick wall in the hall, and the floor, are the only hints at the age of the building. Modern frosted glass doors were installed to give the space a contemporary flair.

Adam’s 925 sq. ft. (86 sqm.) loft in Los Angeles, California, was once a competitor in Apartment Therapy’s “Little House Competition.”

It’s very stylish and the space keeps evolving, b/c he builds furniture, sews his own partition curtains, and fixes blinds.

He also likes plants and the large loft windows let in lots of sun.

He sewed the large curtain that separates the bedroom from the living room. I like how the fabric is pink at the bottom- I wonder if he dyed it himself.

Very nice space. 

Petra and Edwin live in an old former garage that houses their business and beautiful loft home. 

They’ve been loving to hunt and collect for 20 yrs., never throw anything away, and are very much into recycling.

That glass roof really lets in a lot of light.

Beautiful mismatched dining room. 

This wall of windows is spectacular and it’s all recycled. 

The bedroom has a bath with a gorgeous mirror. This loft is unusual and so lovely.
