Guide To Decorating A Bedroom Loft Like A Pro
Depending on the location of the loft space in your home, you may want to use it as an extra bedroom. While some lofts are much too open to the main part of the house for them to realistically be used as a bedroom, others offer just enough privacy to make them an excellent choice for a bedroom space.
Window Coverings
Many lofts make excellent use of large picture windows to add grandeur to the space, and while the views may be gorgeous, turning this space into a comfortable bedroom can be challenging. One of the easiest and best solutions for a grand loft window is simply to add blinds. They are the ideal solution due to the fact that they can be adjusted any way that you choose. During the day, you can open them completely and enjoy the view. They can be closed at night to provide you with total privacy, and this will also work to block out the sunrise so that you can sleep in the mornings.
Privacy Issues
When using a loft as a bedroom, privacy is always a concern. Although some loft spaces are quite naturally more private than others, you can nonetheless create pockets of space in your loft bedroom by adding comfortable nooks. By positioning furniture to create privacy barriers or using room dividers that are translucent you can create an interesting space that also respects your privacy. If you have a very large space, you can add a sliding screen in the space to let the occupant choose the level of privacy that they wish to have at any given time.Bookshelves, plants, or even a couch can be put into use in smaller spaces to provide privacy.
Furnishings
As you are selecting furniture for your loft space, think about how you want your loft space to function. If you want to have a living area and a sleeping area, then you can divide the sleeping portion with translucent room dividers or bookshelves. You can also simply arrange your furniture in related groupings to visually imply the different functions within the space. Putting in a bed with a couple of bedside tables and reading lamps with perhaps a trunk or bench at the foot of the bed will allow you to create a bedroom without walls. Depending on the shape of your loft space your may be able to include a headboard on your bed, or you may skip your headboard and simply hang a copper metal art or a group of contemporary metal wall art in its place. You have the choice to be as creative as you want to with the space – there really are no rules that you must follow.
Mixing Colors
When it comes to selecting your color scheme, look for neutral colors for your background, especially if you can see the loft from other areas of your home. The color scheme that you choose should meld well with the rest of your home and look good when the loft is seen from different vantage points within the home. Adding a pop of color with bedding or handmade metal wall art can breathe life into the space while still giving it the ability to blend with the rest of the home.
