Design Ideas for Your Loft Apartment Remodeling

Loft apartments typically feature high ceilings and large open spaces, which makes them perfect canvases for unique apartment renovation designs. In today’s post, the remodelers at Knockout Renovation share loft renovation ideas to get you started on your next renovation project.

Open Plan Space

Make the most out of the space afforded by your loft apartment by doing away with partitions and creating an open-plan space. A typical open plan incorporates the living room, dining room and kitchen in the same space. Instead of partitions, use visual cues to separate these areas. Throw rugs, a change in floor material or furniture with obvious purposes, such as a dining table or kitchen island can help define individual spaces without cluttering up the place.

Existing Unique Characteristics

Every loft apartment has its own unique set of characteristics that you should consider incorporating into its design instead of covering up. A typical NYC loft may have exposed brick walls, large windows and heavy support columns that can be worked into the renovation design. Some people like exposed brick, others like to paint them, while there are those who prefer a less industrial look. Incorporating such components, whether as-is or modified, is all a matter of taste.

Large Kitchen

Large kitchens are not as common in New York apartments, which is why you should make the kitchen as large as the floor plan will allow. You’ll want a kitchen that you can move around in without bumping into countertops, with an island that doubles as a breakfast bar.

Open Mezzanine

Make the most out of your loft apartment’s vertical space by adding an open mezzanine. The more private sections of your apartment, such as your home office and bedroom, can be perched at the top while giving you a full view of the rest of the apartment. Areas that are meant to be cozy, such as the living room and bathroom, can be situated below the mezzanine. Mezzanines are also a great way to conceal existing support posts.
