Loft living at Archstone Apartments.
Your guide to living large in unconventional spaces.

For decades, people have been seeking out industrial spaces in order to create some of the hippest homes in the country. But with the glamour and prestige of this decidedly urban lifestyle comes the challenges of thinking outside the box.

That’s where we come in. Staying true to the heart and soul of warehouse-conversion ideology, but with all the modern conveniences built in, loft living at Archstone Apartments has the best of both worlds. This short list will help you maximize your new space without sacrificing a thing.

Storage-Minded
Let’s face it: we love stuff. Our floor plans are formatted for furniture pieces that compliment the loft design. Think underbed storage – whether a built-in platform or loose bins – and you’re sure to sleep easy. When assessing other furniture needs, make sure nightstands, end tables and consoles have shelves and drawers to make organization a breeze. Trunks and decorative boxes are available in every material for every décor.

Stackables
Making sure your lifestyle is never hampered can be easy with loft apartments. These spaces are meant to shift and convert with the times. After all, the first lofts were reclaimed from other uses. Invest in stackable chairs for parties – they come in outrageous plastics or subdued woods to fit every occasion. Having friends over for casual nights in? Floor pillows are the trendy way to go, and one of the easiest ways to adjust as needed. Not only do they tuck away nicely, but with the wide range of fabrics on the market today, you might want to leave them out.

Dual-Function
Leading two lives could never be more fun – or more useful. Tables with casters are a marvelous idea – it’s an easy and effortless way to rearrange and maximize your floor plan. While trunks and ottomans are the natural way to go (you can sit on them, store things in them and are the perfect surface for books, food trays and feet), don’t forget about other convertible furniture. Many types of desks are coming out with multi-purpose and loft living in mind. Most furniture stores carry styles that have extendable tops, pull-out pieces and hidden compartments that all close and condense beautifully when not in use.
