Top 10 Loft Spaces We Fell For This Season
There’s no better escape from the sweltering urban heat wave than a luxurious loft apartment. Not only does it provide a momentary reprieve from the scorching sun, but these airy oases also serve as the ultimate canvas for your decorating imagination. And let’s not forget the added bonus of an entresol – a hidden gem that’s sure to impress! This summer, we’ve curated a selection of 10 breathtaking loft spaces that stole our hearts, and now it’s time to see if they can do the same for you.
Green
Incorporating a green oasis into one’s home is a trend that has gained immense popularity, and for good reason. One exemplary space that showcases the potential of this concept is a studio loft that doubles as a thriving greenhouse. The owner’s decision to populate every available area with lush plants has yielded an impressive outcome. For those fortunate enough to have high ceilings and ample floor space, exploiting this natural beauty can elevate their interior design game.
Strategically placing plants in carefully crafted macramés allows them to cascade elegantly downwards, transforming the space into a truly unique and captivating environment.
Post-Industrial
Within the heart of New York lies a 19th-century factory that has undergone a stunning transformation into a spacious 1,400-square-foot loft in TriBeCa. The Søren Rose Studio’s meticulous design seamlessly blends the original architectural details with minimalist Scandinavian flair, striking a remarkable balance between the city’s iconic style and the understated elegance of Nordic design.
Gray
When designing this stunning loft, The Hunting for George brand joined forces with Melbourne Grazia & Co, a renowned design studio. As you step inside, you’re immediately struck by the space’s sleek, modern aesthetic. Chic details and designer furniture abound, creating an impressively masculine interior that still manages to exude warmth and inviting charm.
Pink
In a delightful departure from our usual aesthetic, we find ourselves drawn to the whimsical charm of Apartment Therapy’s latest feature. Amidst the somber backdrop of dark floors and bold walls, pink and red accents take center stage, imbuing the space with a playful, feminine flair. The presence of ornate picture frames, a majestic deer’s head, and intricate wallpaper patterns hints at the artistic personality that calls this cozy loft home.

Emily Johnston’s Instagram post showcases a stunning loft that embodies a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication. The old pine floor, complemented by wooden furniture from another era, adds warmth and character to the space. Potted plants bring a touch of nature indoors, while the glazed rooms create a seamless transition between areas.
The gallery of graphics on the wall provides a contemporary contrast to the vintage elements, resulting in a unique and captivating atmosphere that makes you want to move in and make it your own.
Rug
A warm and inviting atmosphere is effortlessly achieved in this loft by incorporating an antique rug into its design. The contrast between the white walls, concrete floor, and plush carpet creates a cozy nook that defines the seating area. The earthy tones of the rug beautifully harmonize with the impressive wooden ceiling, adding depth and visual interest to the space.
Net
The glimpse into the loft space offers only a fraction of its grandeur, yet it’s undeniable that this unique feature deserves recognition. To maximize the room’s vertical potential, the owner cleverly installed a net that separates the floors. This striking element truly comes alive when surrounded by books and personal treasures, evoking an atmosphere reminiscent of a cozy haven. In essence, it’s a creative alternative to traditional hammocks.
Compact
The space designed by cartographh & @murphflurph stood out for its exceptional organizational prowess. Every inch was thoughtfully utilized, with a mezzanine level housing a cozy sleeping area and a book collection, while the workspace below offered a practical yet inviting environment. Just a short distance away, the plush couch and TV setup provided the perfect spot to unwind.
While not every loft space is grand in scale, it’s remarkable how even moderate ceiling heights can be leveraged to create an additional room or zone, effectively doubling the functional area.
Innovative
In this unique loft space, the owners opted for a more subtle approach to dividing the area, eschewing a full mezzanine in favor of a compact suspended platform accessible via a ladder. The result is reminiscent of a secluded treehouse, where one can retreat and indulge in their favorite hobbies. A collection of vinyl records and books scattered about suggests that this cozy nook was indeed designed as a haven for relaxation and intellectual pursuits.
‘Booked’
The IKEA-inspired design is an extension of the previous idea, with a more elaborate approach. The library situated on the first floor boasts an impressive space that perfectly reflects the personality of its owner. A unique blend of decorative elements in bohemian style – think the statement bowl on the wall, colorful frame mirror, and eclectic hats – adds a touch of whimsy to the dark wood, creating a delightful contrast.
