Transform A Flat Into A Loft Apartment

We all would love to live in a fabulous loft apartment in New York City or Washington

but like it or not we all also know that is probably pretty unlikely that any of us will ever do so. However we can create a similar look with a few small changes. One of those is to install a wooden floor.

A loft apartment is often a large empty room, so a little different to flats in this country however it's up to the owner to decide where the various living spaces should be. Because of the open-plan layout, there can be a temptation to keep things minimal and simple.

To take the inspiration of the loft apartment and transform your flat a great way to start is to get a wooden floor. A wooden floor can make lots of rooms seem like one room as the continuity of the wood gives the impression that you are staying in the same place rather than going through many different areas.

A wooden floor also allows the rest of the apartment to take on whatever vision you have for it without really forcing a personality onto the rest of the room.

Also a wooden floor keeps that contemporary style and allows you to use a variety of colours and designs on the walls and accessories. Unlike a carpet it doesnt impose a texture or colour onto the canvas it is a neutral looking base from which you can design your loft apartment.

Loft apartments are often painted in modern bright colours which are then accessorised with large paintings or wall hangings. This is again a great reason to have a wooden floor installed you can have many different types of wood from a cool ash to a dark oak which can be sanded back and refinished if you wish to get a different style. However one of the keys to loft living is the functionality of the place. A wooden floor is functional. It is easy to keep, easy to maintain and bucks fashions and trends to ensure its longevity.

So whether your loft has a stark white minimalistic feel, is a rugged testament to its former use, or is an avant garde foray into art a wooden floor is the answer to the flooring of such a space. It will pull the whole design together without making a statement itself perfect for any loft dweller.

Whatever you decide to install in your home you may find it useful to talk to a professional wooden floor installation company. They can help you through the process and take care of all the problems that could arrive by installing a wooden floor in your home.
