Therefore, this style is characterized by simplicity, strict straight lines and natural materials. If you want to add some zest to the interior of your home, install a loft-style table in it. It will fit into any modern style, and will be distinguished by functionality, practicality and original appearance. You don’t have to buy such furniture in a store; you can make it quite easily and simply with your own hands.
Style Features
The peculiarity of furniture in the loft style is that it combines the incongruous . That is, furniture items can have a rather interesting and original appearance.
It can be assembled from different parts. For example, you can assemble a table in the loft style from different products: take a tabletop from one table, attach legs from another to it, and install drawers and shelves from a third.
There are several loft style trends:
- industrial is the most popular. It contains rough and untreated surfaces and metal parts. A table in this direction should be functional and simple. Its color range can be: white, gray, black or brown;
- bohemian _ It maintains an industrial atmosphere and allows for a mixture of styles. An excellent choice for such an interior would be a table with carved metal legs. It will be perfectly complemented by modern chairs;
- glamorous _ A variety of colors is allowed here. You can make the product blue or lilac. The tabletop can be not only wooden in this direction, but also glass.
Attention : a loft-style table should be large in size and have strict lines.
There should be nothing superfluous here; the main purpose of this direction is functionality, practicality and ease of use. The loft style is characterized by rough and brutal textures. As for the variety of models, a loft-style table can be used in rooms with different purposes:
for a small studio apartment you can make a transforming table ;- suitable for the hallway - console model ;
- for the bedroom - a small coffee table ;
- for the living room - dining table ;
- for an office or child's room - a desk .
Main features of the stylistic direction
Loft interior design initially combined elements of poverty and luxury. This was due to the industrial crisis in America, which occurred in the last century. Empty industrial and factory buildings with exposed pipes on unfinished ceilings and unplastered brick walls began to be offered as inexpensive housing. The huge buildings appealed to representatives of the creative community, who converted the premises into workshops, galleries, and rehearsal rooms.
“Loft” can be translated from English as an attic, attic, gallery, top floor of a warehouse or factory building.
Gradually, the space was filled with elegant decor, authentic items, and vintage furniture, which made this style non-trivial and delightful. The rough texture of the walls, the abundance of daylight, and concrete floors brought freedom, dynamics and independence to the living space. This new design solution eventually became popular among the elite, intelligentsia, rich and successful people.
Based on the main listed features of the loft, the following characteristic features can be identified in the style of indoor tables with an emphasis on industrial aesthetics:
- big sizes;
- heaviness;
- restraint in details;
- practicality;
- Ease of use;
- simplicity of forms and raw textures;
- no ornate patterns, clear straight lines.
Advantages of placing a PC in tables, assembling a structure with your own hands Usually a table is made using traditional geometric lines and shapes, but more complex atypical interpretations will help to add some negligence to a laconic interior. In this case, the color scheme of the finish should consist of two or three harmonizing or contrasting shades.
Materials
A table in this direction can be made from the following materials:
- solid (for countertops). Here you can use both boards and plywood, pallets and other lumber;
- metal (used to build a frame or legs).
Important : to make a table, you can use polished or untreated wood, shiny or matte metal. In other words, there are no restrictions here.
If we resort to original ideas, designers offer tables with wooden tops mounted on glass bottles. But most often, furniture makers offer solid wood tables combined with metal supports .
You can make such furniture from old building materials, which almost all people have in their garages. So it will be even more exclusive and designer.
This furniture must have an aged look. If you use new materials, they must be aged artificially.
Attention : special importance in the manufacture of furniture in the loft style is given to its color scheme. It should match the overall style of the room.
Add original decor
A loft doesn't have to be minimalistic. Interesting details, natural fabrics, things with history and art objects will add personality to the interior and make it more “livable”. Decor is also an excellent field for experimentation if you want to bring something new into the environment, but you have not yet decided on radical changes.

Ask a Question
Drawing
Before we begin manufacturing a piece of furniture, it is necessary to think about its design and dimensions, purpose, materials of manufacture, and color scheme. To manufacture parts and assemble the table, you will need to make a drawing. We indicate all the data on it with millimeter accuracy. Next, you will often have to use the drawing in the process of manufacturing individual elements and when assembling the product.
If you do not have the skills to create circuits, you can use certain computer programs . They will accurately calculate all the dimensions of the product and help you draw up a competent drawing.
Apron
A work area in the kitchen made of decorative bricks is not quite the right solution. Despite all its beauty, this solution will cause many problems when cleaning. Therefore, it is better to make the apron of the cooking and washing areas from tiles, which are easy to clean.
Crafting tools
Since the design of a loft-style table is simple, it will take very little free time to make it. The most important thing in manufacturing is to assemble the frame of the product . It can be of any shape, size and color. You can buy a tabletop for such a piece of furniture ready-made and paint it yourself.
We selected the following materials
two fir boards (for the tabletop);- 3 pine beams;
- polyurethane varnish and stain (dark walnut, ebony);
- screws;
- furniture corners.
The tools we need are:
- sander;
- vice;
- Bulgarian;
- drill or screwdriver;
- jigsaw;
- Ruler and pencil.
How to do it yourself?
So, the product drawing is ready, the materials and tools have been collected, now you can begin the manufacturing process:
We prepare 4 boards for making the tabletop and 4 bars for the frame.- We cut them into pieces of the required length, based on the drawing.
- We assemble a frame from timber and fasten it with screws. Since three boards intersect at each corner, they need to be held together with two screws. To prevent the wood from warping and splitting, holes in the parts should be made in advance.
- We sand the boards for the tabletop with a sanding machine and stain the tabletop with dark walnut stain. We paint the frame with ebony stain. To give the legs a metallic shine, the stain should be applied in two layers and varnished.
- Next, we attach the tabletop to the frame . For this we will need about 12-15 screws.
Bed made from pallets
Let's look at how you can make a simple bed from pallets that are used for transporting goods. It will cost mere pennies, or even almost free, which will save a lot of money. Moreover, such a bed will look very harmonious. The biggest expense for creating such a bed will most likely be a mattress, which, like it or not, you will have to buy.
Types of pallets
Step 1. The first thing you need to do is purchase the pallets themselves. You can buy them new, paying only 150-200 rubles per unit, or you can even find them for free by asking around in warehouses or trading companies. Often used pallets can be picked up "for pickup".
Finding pallets is not a problem
Step 2. Old pallets usually require drying. If possible, it is better to leave them outside in the sun for a few days so that they dry out a little.
It is advisable to dry the pallets
Step 3. After drying, the pallets need to be sanded and painted or varnished. Sanding can be done with regular sandpaper, but the work will be faster and easier if you use a special machine. You may also need a timber that will be used as a base; it also needs sanding and painting. However, you can simply put one row of pallets on top of another and thus make the bed higher.
Wood preparation
Step 4. Having chosen the place where the bed will stand, you need to lay either the first row of pallets on the floor, or a beam around the perimeter of the bed, creating a base.
Laying the base of the structure
Step 5. Next, you need to lay a row of pallets on top and secure them to the base using self-tapping screws. It is better to use them, since nails will not make it possible to create a monolithic structure - the joints may become loose.
Pallet stacking
Step 6. The next stage is sheathing. Usually only the top side of the pallets is sheathed with some kind of material. You can attach it to the tree using a construction stapler.
Sheathing material is secured with a stapler
Step 7. Then you need to put a mattress on top of the pallets sheathed with material.
The mattress is being laid
Step 8. The final stage is the selection of bed linen and bedspreads. The bed is ready.
Ready-made pallet bed
Finishing
Finishing includes sanding surfaces, painting them with stain and varnishing. This will not only give the product an aged look, but will also increase its performance characteristics and resistance to negative factors.
Craftsmen also give the product a finished look using transparent oil with hard wax . This material is applied to wooden elements with a brush or roller.
Important : when applying oil to the ends, its consumption will be significantly greater, and due to the good absorption of wood, it will not be possible to achieve a rich color.
When painting a product with oil, it is worth considering that it gets very dirty. Therefore, we recommend wearing gloves .
Advice : if you like to create unusual furniture, also take a closer look at a cabinet made of cardboard, tables made of glass and pallets, and an epoxy resin tabletop.
Shelves
Rope shelves are a very simple design. All you have to do is sand the pieces of wood, drill holes in them, pass ropes through them and tie knots. The ropes are secured to a rod or special fasteners.
A chain is a great alternative to ropes. All that remains is to select clamps/brackets, threaded rods and nuts.
The most stylish shelves can be made from slab. Buy a beautiful slab from us, cover it with oil and hard wax or varnish, secure the corners and your chic shelf is ready.
