Three Dark Colored Loft Apartments with Exposed Brick Walls

This is certainly not the first time we have explored the variety and creativity of loft living on this blog. The increased emphasis on urban spaces that are both practical and beautiful, with the added benefit of using lofts that have been repurposed from a former life, makes loft living that much more appealing. The three apartments in this post have that barely industrial loft style running through them, and each uses dark colors to create a space that is just a little bit brooding. Exposed brick is the final commonality that puts these lofts into that same creative, somewhat European, artistically aesthetic category.

1 | Designer: PROforma

The first home comes from PROforma design team. Immediately, the slanted attic apartment ceilings stand out in this design. A cool spiral staircase connects multiple levels of the home while cool grey neutrals act as a blanket over the entire apartment. Soft sofas, a perfectly styled bistro kitchen and a smattering of white painted brick all serve to give this home a modern Parisian feel.

11 | Designer: Kostya Entaltsev

The next apartment, from designer Kostya Entaltsev measures just 35 square meters (376 square feet) and is a bit brighter and somewhat more sleek than the first. Here, bare brick contrasts with perfectly polished wood paneling and floors, making the brick more a statement and less of a happenstance. A small kitchen and cozy bedroom give enough space for a bachelor or maybe a young couple. The white tiled bathroom is perhaps one of the more stunning achievements, with is deep modern tub and vintage-styled showerhead, marrying old and new looks.

17 | Designer: Thai3dviz

The final space is a condo unit in Bangkok with a decidedly masculine style. The space is fairly compact, but the design still manages to include plenty of big state furniture – from a polished leather chesterfield to towering custom shelf units. A brick wall in the bedroom gives the area an industrial oomph and a few natural wood accents soften anything that feels at first harsh.
