“New Classic Style Loft in France” plus 1 more

Posted: 11 Jan 2010 04:28 AM PST

Living in a textile factory sounds absurd, doesn't it? But take one look at this swanky loft and you'll change your mind.

What now looks like the perfect home was once a textile mill. For those in disbelief, the ceilings can give you clues.

There are absolutely no inklings of the remnants of an industrial area here but that is the beauty of the place. The designers and the architects have done a fabulous job of re-doing the loft and making it spectacular. One can find bold pieces of art here along with loud colors and stylish furniture.

The house is lively and everything that has been included just adds to its charm!
