Old Loft, Colorful, Modern Design...

I like this space and while its decor wouldn't have been my choice, somehow it works... Still, I'd love to get my hands on it...

Love the loft, but surprise,surprise, I'd do it in neutrals. Those floral drapes would be the first thing to go.

@faeriemoon I'd have a field day deciding what would be the first thing to go... I think, for me, it would be that ugly molded 'office' chair, even if it is green... Decisions, decisions...

I agree....RICH neutrals. This decor is the opposite vibe of the space. I'd get rid of everything, including the blue? paint....horrible.

The loft space looks nice, though.

Eclectic, miss matched. Artsy. Not my style.

I love this space, but dislike everything in it, lol. It would be a total redecorate, for me.

Space and furnishings are okay ... but I don't like the colors use. I could never live with blue!

Everything would have to go, except maybe the wall color, which I would tone down.

Get rid of the floral. Change the green to turquoise. Add a modern print to the rug. I'm in.

I definitely dont like the Floral drapes or the chairs.

Love what I can see of the room, but don’t like any of the modern furniture.

I think the draperies need to go and both molded plastic chairs. Use one large area rug. This whole room is a hodge podge from somebody's attic.

@Kachina624 You're right... I didn't even notice the ugly blue molded chair back by the wall... That's even worse than the green one and has to be the first to go...

Remove the chairs and the floral drapes and I like this room. I love the blue and gray with the weathered wood floor.

I've always wanted to live in a loft apartment...just not this one, lol! That decor just doesn't fit my idea of "loft".

Nope. I'd feel like an m&m in a coffee can. Don't like it.

It’s ok because of the size of the room. Reminds me of some ‘50s decor. Some of it reminds me of days gone by so I don’t hate it.

The room is nice but, I would throw out all of the furniture & drapes ... the mix of colors is atrocious 👎👎

Love the windows but everything else has to go. Room needs a makeover.

I have to admit I was drawn to this space, the architecture, the old floors, the windows... I don't like any of the furniture. Generally speaking, I don't like modern design so that's not a surprise. That said, for those with a certain modern aesthetic, I could see it, just not for me. I also, though, have to admit that I do like the colors and, surprisingly, I do like the 'mix and match' window coverings. Go figure...
