Loft & Design defines a loft as “a large, open area in a warehouse, factory or other large building that has been transformed into a living space” (as cited in Calzado, 2021). This has been gaining popularity nowadays as people want to maximize as much space as they can and transform it into their ideal space. The versatility it offers makes it a popular choice to many.

What are the advantages of a loft-style design?

It is spacious and its open layout offers you more possibilities. It is like a blank canvas you can start with, where you have the freedom to determine where your living, dining, and bedroom goes. You can also put your twist to it, like having your office corner or gaming area if you wish to.

More natural light comes in. Without the walls and too many barriers, light passes in and out. It is also electricity saving, and having natural light also comes with a number of health benefits.

It ages with you. Without many hindrances, you can redesign and re-layout your loft depending on what you need at the moment. Need space for your home office because of the pandemic? Have a work-from-home corner. Will your kids need a gaming area when they grow up? Turn your old office area into a gaming nook.

It will challenge your creativity. With open spaces like this, you have to be imaginative. Staircases can double as shelves, furniture can be portable and movable.

Cleaning and ventilation are not an issue. Lofts are usually small and very open. Therefore, you can easily see what to clean and where you can put and organize your things.
