10 beautiful loft wall ideas, room by room, with shades that give a loft feel

Warm loft vs cool loft, and how many loft colours are there?

People often ask how many loft colours there are. The answer is that there's no set number. Loft is about the surface, not a single colour. A wall with brush marks, where light and shadow tones layer over each other, can look loft in grey, in beige, even in green.

Cool loft is the cement grey of an old building: sharp and still, at home with black steel and glass. Warm loft is sand and brown-tinged stone, at home with wood, leather and afternoon sun. Living with it feels like sitting in your favourite café.

Across the 38 shades of Voqe Mineral Finish, the cool loft side has Charoenkrung Plaster and Quiet Luxury. The warm loft side has Silom Dust, Pebble, Chao Phraya Sand and Bang Saphan Dust.

Loft wall ideas for the living room

The living room is where a loft wall pays off most, because it's the wall everyone in the house looks at every day.

• Idea 1: The wall behind the sofa in Quiet Luxury, a plain grey that still looks rich. Pair it with a cream fabric sofa and a black steel lamp.
• Idea 2: The TV wall in Pebble, a warm loft without the hard edge. Good for condos that get little light.

Loft walls for the bedroom and home office

A loft bedroom should feel cool without feeling cold. Try keeping the loft wall to the headboard side only, and use a light Voqe Wall Paint colour on the other walls so the room still feels bright.

• Idea 3: A headboard wall in Silom Dust with natural linen bedding. A loft that's easy to fall asleep in.
• Idea 4: A headboard wall in a deep green such as Coastal Pine, for anyone who wants a loft with some mood.
• Idea 5: The wall behind your desk in Charoenkrung Plaster, so you look professional on camera in online meetings.

Loft wall ideas for the kitchen, hallway and stairs

On walls that hands touch often, finish with Voqe Mineral Wax, a clear semi-gloss coat that helps cut down on marks and makes them easier to wipe off. It's for interior walls.

• Idea 6: The wall by the dining table in Bang Saphan Dust, warm like a house by the sea.
• Idea 7: A long hallway wall in Siam Olive, turning an ordinary hallway into a gallery.
• Idea 8: A stair wall in Chao Phraya Sand, its surface gaining depth with the light from the window.

Loft walls for house fronts, shops and cafés

Mineral Finish works on both interior and exterior walls. Outdoors, finish with Voqe Mineral Sealer, a clear satin coat that doesn't turn white when it gets wet.

For a large wall or a shop, you can use Voqe's Supply & Apply service, or visit Voqe Studio (Bang Phli) to see the real finish in all 38 shades before you decide.

• Idea 9: The wall beside your front door in Doi Luang Blue, a loft that greets guests before they're even inside.
• Idea 10: A café counter wall in a dark tone such as Squid Ink, a backdrop that makes the coffee cups stand out.
