Industrial style

11 years ago

We are about to embark on converting a disused warehouse into a residential dwelling. We love the industrial style but unfortunately the building itself does not contain many features apart from steel beams. As we will have to create the look, our dilemma is how far do we commit to achieving the industrial feel? ie: should we provide the basics (polished concrete floors, industrial lighting etc) but blend with luxurious furniture and high spec kitchen OR go the whole hog!
Looking forward to your views on this!

polished concrete floors, recycled brick walls, some reclaimed timber beams, oversized walls of industrial windows ... everything else luxury and high spec

Thanks Brenda

I like the blend of both styles also. Unfortunately the building is not giving us much to play with, it's a big old concrete carbunkle but the space is great!

I hope I can get the balance right.

I love the cabin in the woods, its a intimate setting where you are drawn to the outside whilst keeping snug indoors. The use of fabrics sets it apart from the usual cold designs of other modern rooms. The attention detail in the selection of furniture pieces keeps it modern yet functional.
