New York Lofts & The Bar Stool

Loft living is on the rise, not just the traditional warehouse conversions but new lofts being built even in suburban areas in what are now loft-apartments. Loft Living is about space and creativity merging with urban expressionism and brushed with an international artistic flare. Lofts are a concept and they need not be in Manhattan.

Loft kitchen design ideas are all about airy lightness, white, vanilla and all things tall, but not necessarily about perfection. In loft kitchens there are often imperfect tin ceilings or exposed pipes. Where you place the kitchen cabinets is not so obvious, how to divide the space in often a task for architects and designers.

Yes, loft Kitchens can be difficult to decorate.

But here are a few suggestions:

  1. Overall, use neutral colors.
  2. Accentuate with only ONE strong color.
  3. Make use of height with tall bar or counter stools and rectangular or kidney-shaped kitchen islands, preferably with rounded corners.
  4. Accessorize the kitchen area minimally – chrome bar stools with vibrant color seat cushions, or colorful plastic molded seats (perhaps something by Eurostyle, Zuo Modern, Calligaris, LumiSource, Trica or Johnston Casuals).
  5. Use open displays for your crystal wine goblets by hanging them from an overhead rack.
  6. Add simple track lighting or a modern teardrop crystal candelabra and Voila!


Don’t overdo it.
