Commons uses for loft space include warm and friendly entertaining space, offices/studies, libraries, playrooms for small children and homework stations for older children. With open floor plans becoming increasingly popular and the continually blurred lines of work and play, lofts accentuate the modern family’s relationship of navigating life’s challenges. Oftentimes, small floor plans or large families are searching for real life solutions that utilize square footage in creative ways by looking upward and compartmentalizing space. Lofts are beneficial to family living, artists looking for creative space and homeowners craving the flexibility in arranging additional living space.
