Lofts can be hard to negotiate with: with no walls creating definite areas, it becomes a bit harder to make the space seem cohesive yet multi-functional. One easy solution is to stick with neutrals and then use one bright accent color to tie the room together, utilizing even the littlest details.
Using One Accent Color
For an Open-Space Living Plan
One reason we like this solution so much is that it can be cost effective. Instead of relying on big statement pieces that will cost a pretty penny (i.e. sofas), you can simply use small items like office accessories, lamp shades, throw pillows, etc to connect the designated areas together visually.

I love this idea. It can work in any space.

I did this in my loft with orange, and the results were phenomenal.

I'd love to try out the yellow accents, but it seems I've inadvertently already got a head start with red.

Is that an LA apartment? My guess is no...I love those floors!

I want to know if there's a bed to the left off camera. If so, this apartment has almost the exact same layout as mine except I don't have a dining table. But if I did, that's pretty much where it would go.
