Use interesting lighting

Windows are usually the focal points in an urban loft design. If you have a great view from your window, be sure that it is not obstructed by anything.

Bring some color and diversity

You can easily liven it up by choosing some furniture pieces of bright colors or picking some interesting modern art to add some personality to your design. You can also add some brightly colored rugs onto the floor, and choose pillows with interesting geometric designs. There’s no limit to what you can do as long as you stay true to the loft feel of your house.
