Brooklyn Loft Apartments

I've always adored the industrial-chic style and open plan layout of the converted loft apartments in Brooklyn. 

Known for being large spacious living spaces, with huge windows allowing as much natural light as possible, they're such bright places. 





The way these apartments are filled with edgy bistro/rustic furniture is what gives them all the character.

These open plan spaces mean you can play around with the design and style of the place.






Brooklyn is also known for it's many vintage shops and markets, enabling you to furnish the apartment with unique items that can't be found anywhere else.

My life wish is to move to Brooklyn and live there for a while in one of these amazing loft conversions, and really make it my own to reflect my style.
