A Gorgeous Rustic San Franciscan Loft - Ken Fulk Design

I've always thought industrial lofts were very very cool spaces.
This loft in San Francisco has a lot of wood in it giving it a rustic
feel. It is designed by San Franciscan design extraordinaire
Ken Fulk who is the designer of choice to many tech moguls in
San Francisco.

A kitchen complete with a full counter dining space.

The kitchen is outfitted with a very glossy
modern red look. The wooden barstools
soften the space with a natural element.


A second table that can be used as a meeting
or working space that is open to the rest of
the living space.

Here's another look at the table from another angle.

I especially love the look and feel of the sofas and
the coffee table made from reclaimed wood.

The loft has a fantastic view and the sofas look like they
were made to snuggle up in. I imagine that the sofas would
be very comfortable to sleep in as well as they are very deep.

A canopy bed was used in the bedroom.

Crisp white sheets and a clean white duvet
make the bed look modern and inviting.

The guest bedroom off of the main
living space also offers beautiful views.

I certainly wouldn't mind staying in a guest bedroom like this.

Another look at the guest bedroom.

A makeshift bars space with rustic accents.

Isn't the space fun in an eclectic rustic sense?

Would you live in a loft?

A Gorgeous Loft &Trine Thorsen Photograpy

This gorgeous loft was photographed by Scandinavian
photographer Trine Thorsen. The loft is spacious and
entirely gorgeous with bright light and purple/plum
accents.

I've Totally fallen for the gorgeous dark
wood floors. How cool is that? The cement
gives the loft a more industrial feel and I
like how open and bright it is.

A gorgeous platform tatami bed (tatami are
tightly woven matts that the Japanese use
for flooring and for their beds. I just love the
rich, deep magenta color on the wallpaper.

Great shot of the bed using the mirror.

Here's another bedroom in the loft. As you
can see, this area uses a lighter flooring that
has a hint of grey in it.

I love mercury glass and those are a pair
of gorgeous mercury glass candle sticks.

My favorite part of this area is the very
natural and organic looking table. It's
got a rustic style to it and just gorgeous.

Danish Modern

If any of you fancy the Scandinavian sense
of design, you may be interested in some
of these books. Danish modern design blends
incredibly well with contemporary, modern and
organic designs.

I've always wanted to live in a loft. As much as I love modern factory conversions, there is something so lovely about this collection of not-so-modern lofts - the beautiful oak beams, wooden floors, the neutral colours, the bookshelves, the furniture, the windows ..... perfect!

Kenneth Brown : A lofty LA Masterpiece

You may have seen some of these photos floating around

lately. Kenneth Brown designed a brilliant showhouse

Loft for the LA Mart. The sheer height of the loft alone

is daunting. I've never seen such a loft with high ceilings

separated by a huge panel of fabric in the middle. It's

a clever way to separate the space. Most people probably

wouldn't think to do it with the sheer amount yardage

required but I must say the end result of the loft is stunning.

I really fell for the dark rich wallpaper he used.

The upholstery on the chairs compliment

and contrast with the wallpaper in the room

so well.

The chandelier is gorgeous and is

the right scale for such a tall loft.

The greens offset the browns nicely and I do

like all of the patterns and texture he used

in his rugs. Love the dining table chairs he used!






A beautifully appointed bedroom area with

paisley wall paper and faux fur bed covering.

The floor lamps are quite gorgeous.

Kenneth has a friend who has a shop and

borrowed the chopper to put in the showroom.

He said it was probably the largest accessory

he'd ever used in a show room presentation.

Hope you enjoyed the loft as much as I did.

Happy Friday!
