When you think of a loft, particularly in modern parlance, you probably expect to find a concrete room with vaulted ceilings and very little in the way of warmth. But all loft really means is a space that sits above another space. Often lofted rooms are used for cozy sleeping areas while the rest of the home is kept open and airy, but a lofted space can serve as a home office, a playroom, or even simply storage.
