Cool place, however, what is that gap between the two sets of steps up to your living space? I would want to either extend the steps all away across or address the gaps appearance. Have you thought of an iron (?) railing or something across that expanse? It just looks like a falling hazard to me but I’m not in my 20’s :). Sorry I wasn’t addressing your question but I think large colorful art or architectural drawings would look good in there & a large plant or indoor tree ... I’d move the rug & coffee table to the sofa and bring the corner chair in somewhat.

Hi! Yes, there is a gap. I just moved in two days ago and moved them out of the way as the whole lofted area has storage underneath. The three staircases and dark wood sections of the floor can be lifted up or moved around. I do like the idea of some architectural drawing. How would three colorful but vintage prints like Tour de France, Grand Prix, or travel from Art.com? What If I put in a indoor tree where the arch light is? I'm really want to make sure it looks more "Adult" and less college/bachelor pad.

I like that idea. Vintage travel prints nice. I don’t know what city you’re in but it might be interesting to add photos of interesting architecture in your city or even a large framed map of your city. In any event, I love your place & that very cute dog I see, you don’t need much in addition to him / her...
