Photos: Atlanta loft gets a modern remodel

Poul Olson worked with an interior designed from Cooper’s Creations LLC to come up with a look for his space that was stylish and fit his tastes.

One of the downsides of loft living, according to homeowner Poul Olson, is that some spaces are smaller than you’d like. To make his master bathroom feel more spacious he put in a floating vanity and frameless shower doors from Shower Doors by TJ. The opaque window in the shower also lets light in from the rest of the loft, making the space feel bigger. Text by Shannon Dominy. Picture by Reynolds Rogers.

A concrete coffee table from CB2 sits at the center of Poul Olson’s living room, tying into the space’s gray-scale color palette and adding an industrial touch. Text by Shannon Dominy. Picture by Reynolds Rogers.

Dark cabinetry by Wellborn Cabinets and installed by Strathmore ground the kitchen of Poul Olson’s loft. Pendant lights made from bamboo fibers and polypropylene from Lumens hang over the island. Text by Shannon Dominy. Picture by Reynolds Rogers.

An accent wall covered in wood-grain tiles from Floor & Decor is the focal point for the master bedroom of Poul Olson’s loft home. On the advice of an interior designer from Cooper’s Creations LLC Olson decided to paint his ceilings black. The black ceiling makes the exposed pipes and ductwork of the loft less obvious and makes the space feel warmer. Text by Shannon Dominy. Picture by Reynolds Rogers.

A gallery wall of art that he collected on his travels fills one wall of Poul Olson’s bedroom. A painting from Kenya, a dark blue print from Ethiopia and a batik from Mozambique are just a few of the pieces he’s collected. Text by Shannon Dominy. Picture by Reynolds Rogers.
