In the 40s of the last century in the United States began to gain popularity architectural style loft. It originates in the industrial districts of New York, where many industrial premises have been abandoned by their owners due to rising land prices. Representatives of bohemians were the first to notice them and after the purchase they began to use abandoned factory buildings to create housing and place furniture. It turned out cheap and tasteful, which allowed the style to remain popular to this day. Now such arrangement of an apartment is very popular, and do-it-yourself loft-style furniture is perfect for both private houses and offices.

When creating loft-style furniture, materials are used that usually go to landfill when overhaul... This explains her low cost... Old pipes made of metal and roughly processed boards in skillful hands turn into gorgeous loft-style designer pieces. The only limitation in the choice of material is the general style of the house. Loft furniture should emphasize it, so you have to think about color range and the cumulative interior. Wood and metal will help the most used materials in the loft. Things made of concrete or roughly hewn stone act as decorative elements. There is no need to purchase noble materials like marble for decoration. Plastic is an undesirable raw material, because it does not correspond to the stylistic direction. The loft has its origins in industrial premises, therefore, the material should be similar to that used in the design of industrial buildings. However, it is not always possible to find deck boards or metal barrels. Then the thing can be artificially aged, giving it a casual look.

The easiest way to make loft-style sofas, beds, ottomans and tables for various purposes... To create the first two, you will need used varnished pallets. It will be enough to put pillows and a mattress on top. The bed frame can be metal constructions found, for example, at a local factory. If you have sufficient skill in working with metal, then they can be altered to your taste, covered with fabric. Deck planks will be custom and original choice as a base for a loft style bed. The sofa can also have a similar design, but also have its own characteristics. For example, metal barrels are suitable for the base. The top is carefully cut off, the surface is sanded, then the sofa is filled with a strong substance and laid soft pillows up.

Ottomans are made from pallets, metal or wooden barrels, industrial machinery, even old suitcases. Tables can also be made of anything, as long as there is enough imagination and skills. Everything will be used - from old boards and solid layers of wood to frames sewing machines... Even wooden cable spools can turn stylish coffee table.

What can be made

There is no loft-style furniture that cannot be made by yourself. Moreover, these can be designs of the most different sizes and destination.

Pallet bed

This option is increasingly becoming popular due to two factors - originality and low cost. Pallets can be purchased for 100-150 rubles, and the mattress will be the most expensive part of the structure. It is best to purchase pallets with EUR / EPAL markings. Thanks to their high quality, they will last longer. Often new or used pallets are wet. Therefore, you should first grind them. sandpaper and paint. You can keep the natural look by using wood impregnation, or you can experiment with color. The originality of a loft composition depends on the ability to find application for not new things. If the budget is limited, the pallet is made with your own hands from the boards, but there will be more trouble. In addition, these beds have one major drawback - the inconvenience when cleaning. However, it will not be so important for true connoisseurs of the loft.

For standard bed from pallets you will need:

  • three pallets 120x80 in size;
  • primer and paint for wood;
  • roller and brush for staining;
  • sander and sandpaper.

First you need to walk along wooden surface grinder, and those places where she did not reach, smooth out with sandpaper. Then the pallets are wiped with a damp cloth. This is followed by the processing of wood with a primer and paint. Two coats are applied if necessary. The pallets are then folded one by one to form the bed frame. In the end, it remains to put a mattress and pillows on top. There are more functional option with niches. To create such a bed, you will need eight pallets and an additional drill for wood. First, you need to remove the extra boards so that when overlapping, niches for the boxes are formed. The process is then repeated: cleaning grinder or sandpaper, wiping with a damp cloth, primer and paint. It is recommended to leave the trays to dry overnight. Photos of pallet loft beds can be found below.

Side table

Design standard table the loft style that is sold in the store is very simple - wooden table top on metal frame in the form of a parallelepiped. But such elementaryness hides a considerable price, so it is best to do such a thing with your own hands. This requires:

  • two fir boards measuring 250 * 15 centimeters;
  • three pine beams 250 * 5 centimeters;
  • 30 x 7cm screws;
  • sander or sandpaper;
  • drill;
  • wood stain for dark walnut and ebony wood;
  • polyurethane varnish.

Before assembly, you can make drawings on your computer.

The process is as follows: first, the frame is assembled using screws. It is recommended that you pre-drill holes for fasteners in each corner. Then the boards are sanded and the table top is impregnated with "dark walnut". Table frame to give it metallic look processed in two layers " ebony". The tabletop is attached to the frame with twelve screws. Then the table is turned over and three screws are screwed into each board from the inside out.

Bedside table

Probably the simplest piece of loft-style furniture is a bedside table. It can be made of metal racks or handles, but sometimes painted enough metal barrel... Sometimes, to please the industrial roots of the loft style, the role of a bedside table is played by two cinder blocks, placed together. The main thing is that the material makes one of the most expressive parts of the interior out of the simplest piece of furniture. In addition to originality, a bedside table can have many functions. To make it, you need pine planks, two pieces of pipe with a diameter of half an inch, four wheels for furniture:

  • first, the side parts of the cabinet are assembled. Small strips with pre-drilled holes are attached to each other with glue;
  • two holes are made on each of the boards. Before that, you should check them for coincidence in size - they must be the same;
  • two planks each are screwed to the middle and bottom shelf. In order for them to be the same, strips are attached to the middle;
  • the lower part is installed under the side bases using glue and euro screws;
  • the remaining strips are installed on the sidewalls from above. The upper shelf is assembled from three boards;
  • holes prepared in advance are filled with a special composition;
  • defects on the walls should be removed with sandpaper;
  • the bedside table is stained and left to dry. After that, one layer of varnish is applied;
  • when it dries, the wheels are attached to the screws with glue at the bottom of the tube.

The largest piece of furniture on this list. Wood and metal are best suited for making it. A great addition would be the use of two types of wood. The standard ones will be superfluous. decorative ornaments, especially in the form of flowers or ornaments. Loft - industrial style, and "tenderness" in the ornament will be inappropriate. If the cabinet has mirrors, then they should be decorated in a classic way or in the form of shards. Some décor is acceptable, but must be in line with an industrial focus. For example, doors made in the form of wooden shutters. Loft style wardrobes can be:

  • hull - they have a full-fledged frame, they are not particularly difficult to move;
  • built-in - they make the most practical use of space and do not contain walls. Perfect for small apartments;
  • semi-built - part of the frame, for example, a wall, is missing;
  • diagonal - well suited for dwellings with a large area;
  • trapezoidal - the side wall will be smaller than the other. The cabinet is turned by it to the doorway.

Sometimes you don't have to do it all over again. Normal old wardrobe made out with metal staples or rivets, which makes it look like steel doors at the factory. For this purpose, nails with decorative caps are well suited.

In addition to metal fixtures, painting and subsequent wrapping with canvas are suitable. In the photo, the loft closet is guaranteed to look like a passage on a warship. To give style features you don't have to do a complete rework, just add a few details. For example, from an old barn or an abandoned construction site, you can take wooden stairs, clean it and use it for tall cabinets.

The photographs show the above-described loft-style pieces of furniture. They will help you understand what this direction is. Particular attention should be paid to the description of the pallet, which can come in handy if the furniture elements for the loft are made on their own.

Built in

Wardrobe

There are many design styles decoration of premises. Sometimes, to implement an idea, many things are redone, and sometimes they are simply thrown away. To make their plans come true, people are ready to sacrifice the most expensive items of the former interior. Today we will talk about a very interesting style - Loft. It is quite possible to make furniture in the Loft style with your own hands. For this design, many available materials that can be found in every home - pipes, boards, are suitable. Such quite affordable things and finishing do not require a lot of money, time and effort. As for the decor, lighting and furniture, then investments are needed. Believe me, these costs are worth such a gorgeous result. Let's start our acquaintance with this style to find out, for example, how to make a Loft sofa with your own hands, and more.

Features of the Loft style

This style appeared in the 40s. He was reborn in New York, or more precisely, in Manhattan. The reason for his birth was the lack of affordable housing. That is why many people tried to arrange affordable dwellings with their own hands. We used absolutely different materials... As a result, quite cozy and comfortable rooms with minimal investment... If we take the current time, then to the above, you can add beautiful furniture and original lighting that will become a highlight in your luxury apartment.

Differences between the Loft style and other design designs:

  • The main feature of the Loft is its industrial orientation, the use of unusual materials and decorative elements.
  • To implement this style, metal or chrome pipes, beams, rough brickwork or concrete. All these elements do not purposefully mask, but, on the contrary, open up as much as possible.
  • The wall cladding is rough and not at all well-groomed. In this case, you can safely use textured plaster or putty to give the visual impression that you have not worked on the wall at all. To achieve this effect, many people buy quite expensive and very high quality finishing materials.
  • Two design ideas can easily coexist in a room - antique and modern items, furniture and accessories. For example, a stylish sofa bright color fits perfectly into the room where the antique coffee table or cabinet with glass inserts is located.
  • The use of damaged, scratched or worn furniture is very appropriate when decorating a room in the Loft style. Some people deliberately create such defects in order to recreate all the beauty and richness of their creative idea.
  • The most popular materials for Loft-style furniture are plastic, wood, textiles and leather. All interior items made from the above raw materials are large enough and sometimes very heavy. For example, the wider the vertical metal tube, countertop, seating area and closet shelves, the more the Loft style will be recreated.
  • An obligatory element of such design solution is the presence of various casters. They are present on shelves, on tables, even on dressers. It is advisable to use wheels on almost all possible locations... It is these strange elements that are inherent in the Loft style, where furniture at one time should be in a minimum amount, and at another - be modern and multifunctional. To achieve this perfect combination, it is better to entrust this difficult task to professionals.

Important! But you can try to make a unique filling for a unique interior yourself. We hope that our master class "" will help you cope with this difficult task.

  • The ceiling surface, like the walls, is made in a rather sloppy design, decorating it with dark shades (black, brown, gray). The ceiling is treated roughly, with visible defects, chips, bubbles and various blotches. Around the entire ceiling, you can add bulky metal pipes, other imitating designs to further enhance the impression of the uniqueness of the interior.
  • To decorate Loft-style floors, tiles are used like stone, laminate or porcelain stoneware in order to maximize the structure of the wooden board. Materials are very popular that can create the appearance of an untreated concrete floor. This includes the so-called self-leveling floors, which must be matte for this style. Sometimes as flooring put linoleum and other cladding options.
  • All objects in the room should be placed at the maximum distance from each other. One of the conditions for a Loft design is maximum free space.
  • This style can be complemented by original bright lamps on a long metal wire.
  • To highlight the kitchen area, it is appropriate to place a bar counter made of shaped pipes.

Important! Despite all the inaccuracy, democratic and unusual style, the most due attention is paid to accessories and decor details. The presence of black and white paintings, prints on the walls, photo collages, vases and other decoration elements are integral and very important components of the Loft style.
