Loft style
One of the most relevant styles that will perfectly fit into the interior of both a small coffee shop and an expensive restaurant is an industrial loft borrowed from the Americans..
Loft is a rather unusual design phenomenon. It differs significantly from the styles familiar to the Russian eye..
A dark color design would be a winning option.
Loft style goes well with wood
Its appearance is due to the fact that in the 20th century America was seized by a housing shortage. At the same time, many premises of former factories and factories have been preserved throughout the country, like mushrooms that have grown after the rain as a result of the industrial revolution. Resourceful industrialists began to lease these buildings, only slightly re-equipping their interior in a habitable form..
In those days, such a dwelling was a forced necessity, and now the loft is the favorite of fashion designers and the creative elite. Of course, these are no longer just bare brick walls and protruding pipes. The loft style has acquired modern features, and is played up with many design techniques, emphasizing the good taste and originality of the owner.

The secret of attractiveness
The loft surprisingly combines rough materials with ultra-modern technology and accessories, promotes simplicity and uncomplicatedness, but at the same time looks very bold and unconventional.
This style washes familiar boundaries, opening up opportunities for self-expression. He throws away the unnecessary: ostentatious luxury, deceitful shine and glamor, and flaunts what was usually hidden – rough plaster, brickwork, pipes and ventilation.
Ornamental plants can be placed on the tables
For decoration, you can use decorative brick
The loft interior is free and fresh. It assumes an open, bright room without unnecessary walls and partitions. The loft embodies the style of the city, so metal, electronics, mirrors and glass surfaces must be present here..
Put it all together, and you get a harmonious picture that represents a loft in all its manifestations..

Loft for a cafe
The interior of a loft-style cafe is attractive because it looks creative and daring, but at the same time it is cozy and not pretentious.
Cafe owners will appreciate its cost-effectiveness. Often, rented premises cannot boast of a luxurious renovation and rich decoration. The loft will help to save on interior decoration and play up all the existing shortcomings.

The loft-style café furnishings have some distinctive features:
– A single space, uncluttered by walls and partitions.
– Bright room with large windows.
– Walls with rough or no finishing.
– Protruding ceiling beams.
– Wood or stone flooring.

Zoning
The design of the cafe implies some zoning of the space, because at least we need to separate the service area and the bar from the main hall. Since we refused from the walls and partitions, having chosen a loft, we will consider other zoning techniques that suit us in style.
| Tool | The essence | Result |
| Colour | The effect of color separation of the space is achieved through the use of different shades of walls or flooring. In some cases – with the help of furniture made of different types of wood. | In this way, you can create a wide variety of zones: – dining room; – banquet; – bar; – service room. |
| Lighting | By placing a row of lamps on the border of two zones, we clearly separate one sector from the other.. | The method is very convenient in order to highlight the bar area. It is enough just to place a line of lamps above the rack. You can also use LED strip. |
| Furniture | By correctly grouping tables and chairs, you can create several zones in a cafe that differ in their functional purpose.. | Using this technique, you can separate part of the hall for large and noisy companies of friends, and create a romantic setting for couples in love on the remaining area.. |

Loft for restaurant
Considering all the features of this style, you can draw up several rules that will help you decorate a loft-style restaurant without the help of designers.
– Leave the walls unoccupied. If they are brick or concrete – you are very lucky, if not – you will have to deliberately create the uninhabited effect. To do this, apply plaster on them or use decorative panels with imitation of natural materials. Add some glass and mirrors if possible.
Dark shades will go well with red furniture.

– Don’t hide communications. Even a restaurant loft involves leaving them in plain sight..
– Choose furniture from wood, rough and massive. The tone does not matter, there can be both light and dark woods.
Pay attention to modern design models, in which the loft style is also reflected.
In the hall, in addition to tables and chairs, you can put racks and cabinets, hang wooden shelves on the walls.
– Pots with greenery, armchairs and sofas with soft upholstery, antiques will help to add softness to the interior and dilute the rough elements of decor.
– To create a cozy and warm friendly atmosphere, equip the restaurant with a fireplace. It can be either a real source of fire with a bonfire blazing in it, or a decorative false fireplace, decorated with garlands and candles..

The final touch will be the addition of accessories, for which it is recommended to use simple lamps, laconic floor lamps, black and white photographs, posters and retro-style newspapers, as well as slate boards with white inscriptions on them.
