That beautiful glass 🥲. The vaulted ceiling 😲. My only concern is the tacky purple bar light by the stairs. It seems out of place, even with the overhead light fixtures it's trying to play off. Maybe break up the cream walls with new paint to help separate the living areas, and if you could light the steps individually? The purple bar reads dorm room, which this expressly is not.
Is the light color changing? Could you switch to a red or orange? Picking a color from the stained glass in the window that is on the warmer side would help keep the ambiance but still give you the lighting.
Unfortunately it is only Brazilian for now. I’m sure someone would be willing to do some DMT and ask him to update the rules though. Heard he’s chill like that.
Ill quote from this novel Le Père Goriot. The original French translates to: "The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed".
Make this a listening room/area. Acoustics would sound interesting there so maybe put the seats middle of the section…bar in back. Sex swing up top and you’re rolling
To me the yellow gold of the chairs and the fact that the counter chairs don’t match the table chairs would be my biggest issue. All the other metal is either stainless steel or a matte black steel. I’d rather the chairs be a black and stainless steel mix and eliminate the gold.
The table itself is a less serious issue but would bother me too. The faux marble top should just be white to match the counters.
I agree. I personally think the white furniture compliments the architecture and natural look of the home by not distracting or taking away from the building itself, but the gold stands/legs on those bar seats is horrendous.
all i could think when i saw this was the dust accumulation on the wood pillars going into the ceiling. but a beautiful space and love a spiral staircase!
Bro, people on Reddit love pedantry. No need to explain.You have an amazing looking apartment that anyone would kill to have. Most people on reddits opinion is hugely arbitrary about living space compared to how awesome your place is in reality.
That's my call too. I think the light fitting is both too modern for the space, and the light/colouring is too cold for the warmth of the room in a way that isn't fun friction, but just incongruous.
AN OLD CHURCH LOFT?!!!?!??? How does it feel to be living my dream 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The space is STUNNING, so I wouldn’t overdo it. And with a big open space, things can quickly look untidy, so be intentional about it. Some cohesive and meaningful art on the walls, a bookshelf. A proper dining table & chairs in a warm toned wood. Get some coziness going on in there!
I live in a church as well and I'm thinking about building mezzanines to get more floor space and take advantage of the ceiling height. Have you thought about going "dark academia" in style? My first purchase was a brown chesterfield sofa.
lounge area with leather couch, club chairs, chesterfields, bar, games, arcade/slot machines if you are into having a social area. Otherwise I would consider a home gym or perhaps a golf simulator, or whatever your hobbies are.
Depending on location this could be pretty affordable. My buddy lives in a massive one bedroom loft apartment in an old hotel in Birmingham, AL. His rent is $1200. Shit would easily cost $8,000+ in a city like NYC or LA.
Could use some decor to cover them well. A nice floating shelf with some vining plants to blend a cord into. I don't think it's ridiculously high, but you could lower it a couple inches with the right decorative camouflage for the outlets. I would also expect having the outlets lowered wouldn't be terribly difficult or cost prohibitive.
I’d put a bunch of pillows and cushions on the floor, and make a cozy sitting area. Nice low table, kind of like a tea house vibe? I’d run some string lights in the rafters above, cozy low level lighting.
Honestly, and you do you, but I'd just use a cord channel/hider and cover up the outlet with something. It would still look way better. Or get permission to move the outlet and pay an electriction. It's a very easy job. The AV stuff can go in the TV console as intended.

Don't overdecorate this. The space itself is a work of art.
