# Lofted Interior Design Offices Elliot James Designed its Own Contemporary Office Space By Mishal Omar | Published 2017-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elliot-james References: [officesnapshots](https://officesnapshots.com/2017/02/14/elliot-james-interiors-offices-singapore/) & [elliotjames](http://www.elliotjames.com/) The Singapore-based firm Elliot James was able to show off its abilities by designing the space for its own office. The team had a limited amount of space to design the surroundings, and took advantage of the office's [lofted space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attic-above-garden) to add a homely feel to it. The ceilings, walls and much of the decor is largely white, making the space appear large and more open than it is. It features [sophisticated dark wood floors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gowanus-loft) and accents throughout the space, adding a touch that is both homely and modern. The work area itself is in a room with a long table, while a dining area space is used for office meetings. The Elliot James office optimizes space using color and [modern decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinzo-architekten), and as a result remains as functional as possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Office Design:** Designing office spaces with minimalistic and modern decor to optimize functionality and create a spacious environment. - **Lofted Office Spaces:** Utilizing lofted spaces in office design to add a homely feel and maximize the use of limited space. - **Incorporating Dark Wood Accents:** Using dark wood floors and accents in office design to create a sophisticated and modern aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can tap into the trend of creating minimalist office spaces with lofted areas and dark wood accents. - **Furniture and Decor:** The furniture and decor industry can explore providing products that complement lofted office spaces with minimalistic design and dark wood finishes. - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can leverage the trend of lofted office spaces to appeal to businesses looking for unique and functional office environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textile-Transformed Parisian Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isabelle-heilmann.md) - [Mid-Century Tonal Cozy Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drama-republic.md) - [NYC Apartment Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-loft.md) - [Remodelled Denim-Detailed Modern Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microloft.md) - [Modern Heritage Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norton-folgate-offices.md) - [Bright Colorful Workshop Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-sm.md) - [Californian Modern Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job.md) - [Modern Deco Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newgen.md) - [Contemporary Spacious Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossfold-loft.md)
