Design chairs in the style of "loft"

The choice of furniture for many people becomes not a pleasant pastime, but a very painful process. The huge variety of designs and designs offered by manufacturers and suppliers is simply confusing. But to choose good chairs in the style of the loft is not so difficult. It is only necessary to take into account the simplest principles.

A bit of style

The idea of ​​what kind of loft-style furniture should be is often erroneous. It is believed that this direction is suitable only for vast spaces without a single internal partition, that it is exceptionally rude and energetic. This is far from true: with a skillful approach, it is possible to demonstrate a subtle aesthetic taste, to create a beautiful and attractive atmosphere.

As for bad interiors, inept and poor-quality design can ruin even the most romantic style, which will prevent even flawless designs from being implemented.

Loft - creative style. It is characterized not only by space, but also by the use of old objects that carry the atmosphere of the past decades. For example, an old armchair, which is already rather worn out, and an ultrafashionable sofa that only a few weeks or months ago were assembled in a factory, are harmoniously combined with each other. Chairs will also be included in this situation; all that is needed is to take care of the conformity of their adopted concept.

Character traits

Most often in the loft-style interiors use gray, brick and brown. Black and white paint also fit into them.

If the seat has an upholstery, it should be monotonous, based on durable fabric and a rather coarse-looking one.

It fully expresses the spirit of the interior furniture, assembled from improvised material. Both amateur manufacturers and professionals are looking for it in abandoned hangars and warehouses, in attics and basements, in factories left by people, factories, in workshops.

Old pallets or boards covered with a layer of peeling cracked paint from long life are widely used.

Loft style requires that the furniture in the room was not too much, and that its arrangement was as free as possible. It is advisable to choose such options that will be in the center of the room. Or, on the contrary, they will move very tightly to the wardrobe, sofa, beds, freeing up the rest of the space.

Loft-style furniture should be comfortable and practical, and design delights can only be used as long as they do not interfere with the performance of the main function.

Materials

It is not necessary to be limited to the tree alone. Metal structures and individual elements are no worse than embody the features of this style. White chrome and a very old-looking metal also perfectly fit. Often in such an interior enter concrete or made from raw natural stone parts.

What categorically should not be, so it is emphasized expensive coatings and solutions. No marble or imitation, no gilding. Many types of plastic are also banned, because the main idea of ​​a loft is to reproduce the industrial atmosphere.And in real factories and factories, PVC is not used for decoration - impractical, flammable and toxic.

When there is no opportunity or desire to find a suitable material, you need to create it with your own hands: to grow old, simply to process to impart deliberate negligence, to make the structure rough.

Instead of conventional boards, it is more appropriate to use deck, coated with matte varnish or solid array. This will add to the interior originality.

It should be borne in mind that no floral patterns, plant or animalistic motifs are allowed.

Also in the manufacture of chairs in the style of loft use:

  • wood chipboards;
  • polycarbonate sheets;
  • acrylic;
  • leather and natural fabrics of dense varieties (when creating skin);
  • natural and artificial stone;
  • metal.

Design

Vintage is expressed in the application of white and brown, gray and beige colors. If you are going to make a room in the spirit of the modern version of the loft, it is possible to put there a chair of orange, bright green or rich pink flowers.

The main condition is harmony with the color of the walls.

The contrast of gray textured surfaces and bright blue, bright red leather upholstery looks very stylish.When the walls are laid out of white brick or decorated under it, it is better to use white wood and for chairs

Dimensions should be chosen for specific tables, if they are of standard height. From 72 to 78 cm, take a chair with a seat raised 40 cm above the floor.

As for the area of ​​the seats, be guided only by your own convenience. It will be inconvenient to sit on a too small and narrow chair, and too large will become cluttering up the space in vain. Originality of appearance is achieved through the selection of plating. Also sometimes vary the shape of the handles and backs.

In the "attic" interior will also look spectacular fashionable chairs in the loft style, decorated with stone. The material can be both decorative and natural. As a rule, these models look massive, but also very original. It is impossible not to pay attention to these details, having appeared in a similar interior.

In the interior

Chairs in the style of a loft in the living room and the office is desirable to take with an inclined back. In these rooms will look good products from both wood and metal frame made of pipes. For a common room, wooden solutions are much better, especiallyif their complement the back and armrests. Evaluating the fabric of the upholstery, always make sure that it is pleasant to touch it - this is a very important point.

The leather trim is elegant and more resistant than even the strongest fabric to spilled coffee or tea.

For children, small models of height (35-40 cm) are preferable, but the seat should be wider and the main body more stable.

When adding loft-style chairs to the bar, be guided by a height of 0.9 m from the floor at a distance of 50 cm from the beginning of the leg to the seat. These are the proportions that all designers recognize as ideal.

A good bar stool always has a back. All upholstered furniture placed in the kitchen should be equipped with removable covers. Or at least choose options with easily cleaned upholstery. The triangular shape of the seat looks catchy and unusual, enhances the originality of the furniture ensemble. For your information: if a piece of furniture is bought for decorative purposes, you can completely stop the choice on versions without upholstery.

So, to the bar, behind which you will only drink coffee in the morning, feel free to choose a metal stool with a small backrest. But when you plan to arrange full breakfasts,Lunches and dinners are better to use semi-bar models with wide seats, comfortable backs and spacious armrests.

How to make yourself?

A chair in the style of a loft can be made with your own hands. Moreover, the custom-made and mass-produced furniture of this type is extremely expensive. For the seat, take rectangular slats, grooves are made in them. Then you need to assemble the frame held by self-tapping screws (only such fasteners will allow it not to stagger).

Now connect the two parts, paint the frame in white, attach to the seat below the legs. That's all that was required - an inexpensive and stylish solution to your problem is ready! Observing elementary recommendations, you can both buy beautiful loft-style chairs and make them yourself. In both cases, the result fully meets all expectations.
