Eclectic loft from Canada
Eclectic and industrial atmosphere is mixed in this Canadian loft. The simple and great flat structure complements well the furnishings diversity and funny patterns. One of the hardest tricks in the shape of the furnishing is that the parts with different functions to be separated in the apartment, but yet the whole has to be coherent and homey. This has been achieved in the light and elegant spaces.
The living room’s most important corner is the built-in bookcase that gives space to the owner’s antique book collection. The ladder that received a new life and can be seen in front of it is originating from an old hydraulic power-station. Next to it there is a small retro drawer, which was painted to white by the owners, in turn above it also a self-made painting decorates the wall. The vintage accessories and collections often occur in the home.
The office is located under the stairs leading upstairs. Here, in front of a simple, white desk there are black Eames chairs. The office’s part is an IKEA shelf as well and a cipher that was rescued from a video rental, which cheers the space. The influx of the light through the big factory windows conjures even this corner sunshiny.
In the dining room a last century sideboard stores the kitchen utensils. The dining table has the same age like the sideboard, this way has been created a harmonious, vintage atmosphere. In the kitchen that is in front almost everything had to be changed, except the built-in cabinet door. Basically the kitchen is not over decorated, the wood beams and concrete floor was left. Mostly we can see metal equipments, completed with a very old, huge refrigerator that received new coloration. Simple lines completed with personality, this is the real style of the apartment.
The bedrooms and the bathroom are upstairs. The furniture originating from the middle of the last century appears here as well, together with wonderful lamps and re-painted cabinets. The dormer-windows let in the sun-rays on the large part of the first floor, but in the bathroom does not enter natural light. The bathroom tap was designed from the products of a local wood processing factory.
