CM In The City is an interior design firm founded by Cathi Marcoly and Mary Alice
Slattery. Designing various lofts spaces over the years deepened their passion so
much that they both relocated to DTLA (Downtown Los Angeles) themselves and
are now living the loft lifestyle. Here are their top 10 tips for decorating your dream
loft space.
!
When decorating a loft: Consider the character and history of the space. Today,
DTLA offers a wide variety of lofts, from traditional factory conversions and ware-
houses to purpose built loft properties. Typically, these spaces have extremely large
rooms with very high ceilings. They often include interesting features, such as ex-
posed pipes, bricks, support columns and cement. These elements provide an in-
teresting canvas on which to begin your decorating adventure.

Depending on the goals for your new loft we are confident you will achieve the loft
lifestyle of your dreams if you use these tips as a guide.
