This spacious interior presents a magnificent example of modern loft aesthetics, harmoniously blending industrial rawness with sophisticated functionality. The two-level space is framed by sandy-hued brick walls that serve as an expressive backdrop for the minimalist design. The ceiling with exposed beams and whitewashed wooden planks brings airiness and visually expands the perception of height.
The living area demonstrates an excellent balance of textures: a soft cream sofa contrasting with iconic black leather Barcelona chairs complemented by ottomans. Light wooden flooring enhances the sense of space, while a natural high-pile rug creates a cozy island in the center of the open floor plan. The dining area organically transitions into a workspace, where a wooden table is surrounded by bright red chairs – a bold accent within the predominantly neutral palette.
The simple wooden staircase with metal elements is not only functional but also serves as a sculptural element in the space. Lighting is resolved through a multi-level approach: suspended metal fixtures above the dining area, gentle table lamps, and strategically placed natural light from tall windows. When designing a country house facade and its interior, it's equally important to carefully consider the interaction of natural light with the internal space.
This interior demonstrates several techniques that can be adapted for one's own dwelling: open floor plan for maximum functionality, preservation and highlighting of original architectural elements (beams, brickwork), use of a neutral base with bright accents, and multi-level lighting. Organically integrated storage systems along the walls don't clutter the space, while metal elements in furniture and lighting fixtures maintain the industrial aesthetic characteristic of the loft style.
