It is not my personal style, but I still like it very much. I would be terrified to drink or eat anything while sitting on those very light beige (or winter white?) sofas, though. Some art is needed over that fireplace to distract the eye away from the not so pretty buildings outside of that windowed wall.

@Jersey Born I've surely seen lofts I prefer to this one, which is a bit too industrial for me and there's not much there to smooth out the rough edges... I will, though, give them kudos for including a fireplace!!

Very nice. But do you think there is any kind of window covering?

It's very well done. I am not a big window fan. I would never be comfortable. I would feel somebody is watching me all the time. I love the colors of the room. It looks inviting.

@ValuSkr Even enlarging the picture, I'm not seeing any coverings, but there could be something concealed by the large pipe or duct or whatever it is... There could also be a film on the windows so that those inside can see out but no one outside can see in.

I love all the space, so much room to decorate!!! I do like privacy though and I would have to have a window treatment on those huge windows. I like the city so it is a lovely sight and feeling for me. I would however, have color, not a fan of black and white.

@stevieb

Where is this?

My guess is there's a film on the windows that prevents seeing inside the loft for total privacy, but what if you want to close out the light?

Love it!! It looks like there are blinds that can be lowered from the top of the window for privacy.

I like it. I've always wanted to live in a loft in a downtown area for a few years though I wouldn't want to settle there long term.

LOVE. IT! A few tweaks would need to be made but I could move right in and be happy. Love the view!

I like it but would add pops of vibrant color.

Nice space. Not for me though, I'm looking to leave the city, not have more of it.

I do like this....loft living always peaked my interest.

I prefer more warmth & color, but I do like this black & cream space. Love the cream corner sofas & fireplace with the black tables & accessories. Not crazy about the view.

Aren't the huge windows in most lofts

left bare and curtinless?

CANDLEQUEEN — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 21:50:39 GMT

I do like it, even though it is not my style for the most part, and I would have to add some color and warmth to it!

Maybe I'm dense, but why is that called a loft? I'd just say a high rise apartment.

I love it even though I usually don’t like that look but, I really like something about it !!

Is that from a real estate listing in NYC? (From the view, looks like the area where I used to work.) I have noticed many NYC listings the window coverings have been removed, I think it is so that the room looks like it has more natural light, a valuable commodity. You'd be surprised but many people in expensive homes like that one (if it is where I think it is), leave the windows bare, with some window protection to keep heating and cooling costs down. I used to work in the 35th floor with views of lofts like that one, and usually I had my shades open and, at night, I could see into many expensive homes with their shades similarly open, which honestly, were usually empty, bought by speculators or as pied-a-terres. There is even a famous hotel in a park where the guests leave the windows open and entertain the people in the park...
