There’s nothing generic about Lofty Ideals. It has lots of vintage items thrown together with flair and originality. Colours, patterns, textures, plants – it feels alive and inspiring with little touches of Los Angeles, the host’s hometown. A bohemian dream, this one-bedroom loft in Kreuzberg also has some rugged features to it, but they only add more charm to this very, very cool home.
