Loft // Mid-Century Modern
The Loft is a Blank Canvas Modern loft design expresses as much imagination as the creative urban dwellers that have driven the movement since its beginning in the early 1960s. The concept is that each gutted open floor in a building can be built out with virtually unlimited possibilities. Just as the space can be molded into anything, the color schemes should be equally limitless. Trim: White DEW380 LRV 93 Of course, that should be balanced by the sophisticated tastes of the loft dwellers. Ultimately, each loft is a blank canvas waiting to become the creative expression of its owner.

Mid-century Modern Energy Flow Characterized by post and beam construction that allows for walls of glass and windows in interesting shapes and places, Mid-century Modern homes connect indoor space to the outdoor world quite dramatically. This creates the possibility for a lifestyle and energy flow that shifts seemlessly from inside to outside and back again. Trim: White DEW380 LRV 93 Body: Tarnished Silver DE6355 LRV 19 Accent: Early Harvest DE5542 LRV 46 Color can be used to enhance that flow or disrupt it to create boundaries where desired. Think holistically. Consider the extent of the entire property, not just one room at a time.

Paint colors are affected by many factors, including lighting, age, type of finish, type of surface and adjacent colors. Some colors may require more than one coat for complete coverage. If final color appearance and color matches are critical, paint should be sampled on the actual surface before full application. Application of the paint constitutes acceptance of the color. Dunn-Edwards assumes no responsibility for color after application.
