Industrial Loft Decoration Creating Dream Scapes in Your Open Floor Plan

A partial wall can create a whole room in a huge volume of space.

The Live/Work draw of industrial lofts, whether buying or leasing, is, of course, the huge open volume of space. In our tours of industrial lofts, we have seen some great ideas for how to divide up the volume to create both a living and working space. Open industrial lofts provide multiple options and fluid change. Use your furniture to set designated areas to help break up the space. Rugs work to designate where you want to section off a social space or a more private space. Laying down commercial floor coverings in designated work areas helps set them off your dining area or kitchen prep station. One clever use of floor covering we have seen recently was gym mats in a home workout area. It is functional for working out and, again, is a way to sets the area off in large volume space.

Another idea is to use stairs to a loft area in a two-level loft as the dividing line between work and home. You can choose which is the home and which is the work area. For someone working solo, the loft might be the office. Whereas someone working collaboratively or having clients into the loft might make the larger space the ‘office” and live upstairs. Either way, Loft stairs are an LA commute worth considering. A third way to define spaces in a large loft is to use lighting. Looking around at the many options, we think lighting is a functional way to separate your loft space between working areas and personal spaces. A set of tasks lights over your work table or desk also sets it apart if you use other types of lights or hanging lamps in your living space.

If you are leasing and putting up partial walls is not in your budget, there are ways to separate a wall with tall bookcases, awnings, blinds, or free-standing screens. In addition, we have seen clever hack in the arts district of using wheels on room dividers. Better than a fixed wall, movable room dividers quickly increase options to grow or shrink open space for different uses in your open floor plan industrial loft.

Over the moon, DTLA Hospitality is Roaring Back to life

The 30 to 40 million dollar DTLA tourist industry in bouncing back with many booked conventions already in 2021

Downtown Los Angeles saw a mass exodus this past pandemic year. It looked like a ghost town in 2020 and early 2021.  The urban core has always been gritty said one long time DTLA booster, but the sense of abandonment was even more obvious as people moved out to get more distance and breathing space. The appeal of living in a smaller space surrounded by urban energy, noise and vitality is drawing many back into the thick of it sooner than would have been thought given the all stop mentality of last years lock downs.

Now that Pandemic restrictions have been eased, are people returning to DTLA?

Many thought the worst, that it was gonna be a long road to recovery, but it’s been crazy busy in every bar and restaurant in downtown LA since mid-June, locals bars near Skid Row and Little Tokyo feel like new years eve every night. Speaking with people in the front lines of the hospitality industry. The sales in food and beverage are taking off like a rocket and demand does not appear to be slowing down.

Clubs and resteraunts with outdoor spaces are doing very well since it’s still not safe congregate indoors.

In addition the tourism and convention industry is having a major bounce back too. With more planning and attention to safety protocols DTLA convention venues like Staples Center are set to crush it this year. The local economy gets a huge boost from out of town visitors in the range of 30 to 40 million dollars annually. We can see with conventions already booked this year the bounce back is going to be strong and immediate.
