Loft Makeover

Industrial Living Room

The homeowner wanted the charm of a historical loft and the convenience of modern design. One reason the space works so well is that the living room furniture and industrial materials make a statement throughout. The upper-level location of the living room takes advantage of city views through the bank of windows. Plumbing pipes make simple, industrial-look drapery hangers, and slipcovers give a fresh look to a pair of wing chairs. Australian cypress floors were engineered to fit the space.
