Take a tour around a New York loft-style apartment

Light floods into the main living area of this New York loft apartment through 7 big windows. The rug, designed by Aronsons Floor Covering, was intended to add a feature that would tone in with the other colours featured in the rest of the house, as well as the earthiness of all the natural wood.

The bright colours that characterise the rest of the apartment are banished from the bedroom, with muted and calming shades creating a peaceful feel. The abstract print above the bed, by artist Selina Woolcott-Forbes, was used as the starting point, and works to pull the rest of this cosy look together.
