If you’ve ever picked up a catalogue from Restoration Hardware, you’ll recognize the “look” immediately…white-washed, distressed woods in tones of grays, taupes and tans…with an unmistakable Industrial Flair. Today, this look is EVERYWHERE!
As a designer, I yearn to design a room around this look. I love it’s vintage yet modern and classic feel. And I’m particularly partial to monochromatic schemes. They tend to be very soothing. But you don’t have to go total industrial to incorporate this look in your home, a few furniture pieces and some well-chosen accessories can give you that vintage flair.
Industrial decor is inspired by elements found in warehouses and factories, featuring metal, casters and wheels.
Of course, I am very drawn to this gorgeous desk and chair from Restoration Hardware. Vintage Aviation…riveted sheets of metal softened with luxurious leather. How stunning is that!
The Vintage Toledo Barstool, also from Restoration Hardware, is a perfect reproduction of a vintage draftsman stool. Man-made of industrial steel and a tobacco finish wood seat. Each piece is unique.
Here are 2 perfect examples of integrating this industrial look into your existing decor. An unmistakably industrial coffee table gives a touch of color and interest, to this otherwise drab room.
Even though this room is filled with classic traditional furniture, it’s been given an updated feel with the use of industrial elements: light, distressed woods, tans, taupes and grays…not to mention the plank coffee table with metal wheels.
Yes, I would LOVE to go industrial…so, if you’re out there, and have decide to update YOUR home, and incorporate a touch of this industrial look, DO give me a call. 🙂
Till next time,
Alba
