The excitement of loft living – wide open space! – is the first, most obvious challenge. That’s why “programming” or assessing the individual’s needs for the functions of a space is very cru- cial to designing loft interiors. It speaks to our core motivation at Curated. which is to design spa- ces according to their unique context, independent from trends and in response to the personali- ties and needs of our clients. Make sure to map out your func- tional needs before moving in your killer vintage furniture that looks gorgeous but doesn’t solve your design challenges.
