How to Easily Furnish a Loft

Decide how many separate areas you want to split the loft into. One of the best things about a loft or flat is that you can customize the floor plan and create separate sections by using different kinds of furniture. This allows for a lot of flexibility, but you need to make decisions about how many rooms or sections you are trying to create, and this will be partially dependent upon the amount of space that you have to work with.

Make a small plan for each area, taking careful measurements and recording them on paper. This will help you to choose appropriately sized furniture when you are out at the store, and will also help to legitimize your design by giving you concrete specifications that you can refer back to.

Visit a furniture store and take digital pictures of the furniture that you like, then record the specifications of each piece on a separate sheet of paper. These measurements and pictures will allow you to check the fitment of the furniture inside side your loft before you commit to purchasing anything.

Return home and use your digital pictures along with the furniture dimensions to ensure that the furniture you've selected conforms to your design and will also fit properly inside your loft. Take the time to look around your loft carefully so that you don't make any mistakes or end up with a piece that is too large or too small.

Purchase the furniture and arrange it according to your design plan. If you find that the cost of your furniture is adding up too quickly you can always change your design plan in order to accommodate a smaller budget.

Don't be afraid to rearrange something if it doesn't look right. Sometimes even the best plan on paper doesn't look right when it's brought to life, so don't hesitate to waiver from your original plan. As a last resort, most furniture stores offer some type of return policy, so you can always start over.
