#loft apt.

If only they’d have designed my loft apt. like this. It’s just bland white.

My kitchen is bigger than this under the loft, but I wouldn’t mind if it looked like this.

This is so cool 

Just a little creativity- I’m sure that’s not real brick. Love the floors too- they look like tile which would be better than wood, especially in an apt. that takes dogs.

Beautiful, unique lofted apt. in New Zealand. 

This is lovely, you can open the door and glass wall to the private garden.

There’s a curtain and a window cover that comes down to shield the outside day or night.

Isn’t this unusual- they framed some decorative cement architectural pieces to make a kitchen peninsula.

The stairs to the loft over the kitchen.

Beautiful bedroom in the loft.

Look at the painted barn door that closes off the bathroom- it’s like a piece of art.

Nice emerald green tiles and a sunken tub.

Jessie spent the first year in her loft apt. making her project painting accent walls. This is the first accent wall she painted, and loves how it highlighted the tall ceilings.

She didn’t just paint whole wall, she did graphics and I like the way the art coordinates with it. (Tik Tok laughed at her accidental homage to the Boston Subway logo.)

Love Kat’s “Eclectic Disco Greenhouse” style loft rental in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

She started with only a few plants, but when she saw how good they were doing, she fully embraced being a plant mom.

She bought her sofa new, but mostly everything else is secondhand.

She loves the light that the apt. gets. 

Kat looks for things that can have a multipurpose use are a great space-saver when in a small space.

Julian has no shame in his game of designing, personalizing and curating art for his Brooklyn, NYC bachelor pad. It’s a loft apt. and he says his family spent years together playing armchair designer- sitting and watching HGTV inspired him to embrace DIY stuff.

Julian’s creative spirit took off with his first DIY loft project: Stencil painted walls.

The end result creates a contemporary, black-and-white mural wall that helps to define the small space.

Julian's modern, neutral dining nook is small but packs a cozy design aesthetic.

A rug is a good way to add some depth, texture and color to a space. 

Just beside the dining table sits a drink station.

"This is a bachelor pad and therefore a bachelor kitchen — this is all for show," Julian says with a laugh. He did, however, DIY the tile backsplash.

"I always thought of myself as a plant guy, but in reality I am not," Julian says.

One of the most attention-grabbing areas in Julian's loft is the expansive, pop culture curated gallery wall.

Neutral, contemporary and classic designs complete Julian's bedroom look.

This apartment used to be a retail store so there is no built-in closet space.

"There’s not even full walls, which is why I had to create a partition wall," Julian continues.

"When I moved in here, the bathroom was horrible," Julian says. "It was very pink, very retro, and I couldn’t even tell you what decade it came from. But I decided to keep the pink tile because I’m realizing it is kind of a rarity.”

Julian made his home office work for both 9-to-5 and 5-to-9 endeavors.

A comfy leather sofa and acrylic coffee table continue the modern, eclectic vibe in Julian's combo living and office space.

Bronte and Jordan have a lovely rustic loft style apt. in Los Angeles, California. Jordan made the room dividing shelf for about $500. 

A house full of fun, his own way. That’s how Yusuke has been living after renovating his generously sized apartment in Kawasaki City, Japan. 

Large lighting fixtures lighten the space. The green ones on the left are vintage made of enamel, and on the right is a factory lamp.  It is also his style to use "box items" such as wooden boxes and antique suitcases for storage.

Here, he’s set up a display of “masterpiece” chairs. That gray one is so unique.

Michael’s favorite is Jasper Morrison's Thinking Man's Chair.

Yusuke used parquet flooring to make the table top.

The adhesive that remained when the wall material was peeled off was interesting, so he left it as it was.

Yusuke put hinges on a genuine Abarth Italian car brand box.

He said it was a rough job pulling out the top plate of this old chest to embed a sink & electric stove to make it a kitchen counter.

Kitchen utensils are hung and stored. Peppers and funnel, "Pino.”

The display above the wine cooler is the world of his wife.

Yusuke likes the outdoors. Outdoor equipment is casually placed around the room.

The condo is an electric house. "I also wanted a gas fire, so I'm careful about ventilation, but I also use a camping two-burner as a sub stove," says Yusuke.

He enjoys the green on the large terrace and made the banner with umbrella cloths. He used wooden pallets on the fence.

This adorable one bedroom lower level apartment is on the edge of fashionable Soho and Tribeca in New York City. B/c it’s on the bottom floor, it has the look of an industrial loft, b/c it may have been a storeroom or business. How fabulously decorated is this hip, amazing loft that the owners call “The Love Bug.”
