So is your style: Industrial - What it is: This is a look born of our recent passion for living in not designed to property originally as a dwelling. Of abandoned factories in schools and stables, these buildings have one thing in common - they are great on industrial characteristics. These often include metal window frames, brick pillars and wiring that works through walls, rather than being hidden under the plaster. With the industrial look, it is the fabric of the building, not its finish, that matters most.
Why it works: An industrial-style space is the antidote to a well-kept interior. It rejects the color and taste considered in favor of something more raw and genuine. The scale is often large, the minimal style and rough finishes. This is a look that pushes us to cut back and make our life beautiful and durable homes.
You'll love it if: You do not like curtains, feel more comfortable in a warehouse of a townhouse, and prefer the brighter recycles furniture new every day.

drop in a classic
recycling is the key industrial look, but do not limit yourself to vintage or salvaged parts. This New York City loft illustrates how suddenly contemporary design blends perfectly with all the notes, early industrial, adding a change of pace style.

be bold with materials
when walls and floors are not kept in their original condition, the big picture when choosing the materials for them. In this kitchen, the tiles make a strong statement. Instead of just creating a backsplash tiles, white subway are taken to ceiling height on the wall, while the floor is covered with tiles graphics in a no-nonsense monochrome design.

Choose mind pieces
to avoid feeling industrial style too heavy and serious, look for pieces that take their commitment to recycling and give it a spin mind. Here, bar stools made from huge metal springs look fun, but keep the industrial environment.

Make lots of windows
converted warehouses often have large windows with striking frames that deserve to be highlighted. So unless overlooked is a problem, keep the windows clear. Hang curtains or blinds obscure and, when big, is likely to be both expensive and impractical.

Statement Hang lighting
table lamps Small and delicate wall sconces do not cut in an industrial pattern. Instead, choose pendant lights that are large scale and personality. Find something that was recovered from a factory, or select super-size metallic shades, more battered and dented best.

Be based in the bathroom
the latest shower technology and stylish bathroom surfaces no place in an industrial house. Instead, choose a refurbished bath and simple black and white tiles. Leave some exposed pipes, also for industrial added punch.

use original signaling
Old signs, often made from sheet metal, make a great addition to an industrial part. Hunt down something on a large scale to hang as art, or watch for signs that relate to the architecture of your home, as here.

Big up masonry
walls with exposed bricks are an essential feature of the industrial aspect, but if all you brown down, consider painting the brickwork. A white coat will soften the rough look - welcome to a room -. Without obscuring the shape and texture of the brick
