Industrial Lofts tend to have high ceilings making room for a separate loft space

Lofts in DTLA are converted industrial buildings like the GE Building in Little Tokyo for example, which have been converted into apartments from Penthouse lofts to studios. The term loft started to be used to describe open-concept spaces, where the entire layout of the living space was incorporated into one large room, resulting in a market trend you’ll some purpose-built loft-style condos that mimic the open concept style of the industrial lofts without the high ceilings.

Lofts are covetable which is a big part of their appeal, from the high ceilings to the spacious layouts. But the features that make them great also pose a few challenges, like creating privacy, ensuring visual flow, and decorating it so it doesn’t feel like you’re holed up in a stark warehouse.

Downtown is so easy and affordable compared to some places. In West Los Angeles for example, investors will spend hundreds of thousands, sometimes more than a million dollars to remodel or tear down an existing home to make a profitable investment by creating a beautiful and popularly desirable home. The good news is that live/work lofts are much easier and cheaper to transform because the sturdy building does not need to be torn down or remodeled substantially.

In fact, decorating a drab loft and brightening up a dark condo are possibly the cheapest and most effective fixes that home buyers and investor can possible do. There are right ways and wrong ways to do them. For maximum return on investment, the lighting and decor should be picked out by a professional urban interior designer. #lofts #dtla #info

NO WINDOWS? NO PROBLEM

Whether a condo has big bright windows or no natural light at all, filament lamps with dark steel pipe conduit are perfect and popular today for most historic industrial lofts because, in addition to the remarkable historic-meets-modern design, the color and style match and blend in perfectly with existing concrete and exposed plumbing. Add track lighting and additional decorative lighting, and the natural light problem is successfully solved by the right solutions.

Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles are inherently very cool, hip and stylish due to their high ceilings, stand-out character and unique features, so the furniture and decor should match with an energetic vibe or urban chic theme. Prominent artwork, avant garde decor, cutting edge furnishings (economical buys from Ikea usually fit in just fine) and perhaps something whimsical or DTLA-practical such as a mounted bicycle would all fit perfectly in an historic or industrial residential interior. For dim lofts with insufficient natural light, skip the suburban Home Depot stock and instead upgrade to lighting from Restoration Hardware that will provide the substantial “WOW” factor required to make the awesome loft complete. While a loft with amazing views should be decorated with classy, minimalistic style so as not to distract from the views, lofts that lack a nice external view should be decorated fully with dramatic art, decorative furniture and awe-inspiring lighting that provide a rich, full and eye-delighting visual experience. For a few thousand dollars or less, the boring abode has been transformed into a compliment-inducing dream loft and wise investment.
