From the industrial ceiling freshened by white paint to the castle-sized windows surrounded by equally pristine white walls, the loft we have to show you today is a real stunner. It showcases that perfectly sleek, urban look that people of all walks of life often try to emulate with faux materials, but they can never exactly capture that look and it's because of a lack of authenticity.

But we have the ideal apartment that pulls off a sophisticated atmosphere to a T. Even if you're not trying to recreate the same aesthetic in your home, there's definitely something you can learn from this interior. The designers at JSC Design styled this apartment with clean lines and tasteful restraint. An open, airy style and refined textures bring a sophisticated element that is unmatched by other homes.

So come with us and see what all the hype is about!

Humble facade

Stunning first impression

Our first look into the loft is an expansive view of most of the interior. The total area is 103 square metres, but you'd swear it were larger. Earth tones and neutrals create the perfect elegant ambience, and the furnishings only help to enhance that feeling. We can tell that this is a studio loft, as each room occupies the same area, but we can also differentiate each zone by the changes in flooring and with partitions. Underneath the ultra plush and exceptionally luxurious chair and ottoman set define the living room, and the flooring changes from concrete to a circular patch of dark hardwood. This is quite a unique and interesting way to define spaces in a one-room apartment.

To the rear

Here's a side view of the bedroom area, and we can immediately recognise the change in flooring that is identical to what we saw in the living room. In front of the bed, we see a small, mobile partition separating it from the living room. When we look at the partition from the living room side, we can see it decorated with books and knick-knacks, but when we take a look at the bedroom side, the we noticed a multifunctional piece of furniture. The side facing the bed acts as a normal dresser would, and for even more room separation and privacy, a clothes hanger was situated to the side. This room divider creates a distinction between bedroom and kitchen, which we will explore next.

A modern kitchen

Making our way to the kitchen, we see much more wood, which brings more warmth to the loft. The main kitchen island stands to the left of us, where the faucet and works surfaces are. But just behind that, we have a smaller counter integrated into the island that creates a breakfast bar area for two. And to keep those frequently used items at the ready, our designers installed an overhead floating shelf.

Sophisticted details

There are many details in this loft that bring about an air of luxury more than others. The white leather living room set is one thing, and this glass wall is another. Each glass pane in the wall was toughened and is about six centimetres thick. The glass is also wavy, making it impossible to see right through and adding much needed privacy to the bathroom. Another sophisticated detail is the enormous bath tub we can see just behind the glass. Let's go inside and take a better look…

Unwinding

And for our final stop, we take you to the extravagant bathroom with a surprising amount of space. In this room, just as in the others, we see very little ornamentation. The decoration doesn't show through a variety of accessories, but through the furnishings and choice of materials instead. There are no over-the-top, ornate embellishments–only a simple setup with intriguing shapes. Along with the sharp and perfectly executed lines, this loft incorporates curves like we've never seen before. In the kitchen and in the bathroom, rounded features create more interest and add just a little more lavishness to the space.

If you thought this home was awesome, you'll love taking the tour of this luxurious abode for a sophisticated family.
