ART OBJECTS, DECORATION
INDUSTRIAL Unfinished walls, bare windows and exposed beams show the structural skeleton that holds the space together. It's rough around the edges, in the best possible way. Smart strategy: Embrace the rawness. Don't cover cinder block or brick walls with plaster, or hide ducts and pipes behind a ceiling. If privacy's a concern, consider a frosted treatment or film for windows, but obscuring them with blinds and curtains can detract from their austere appeal.
INDUSTRIAL Style Secret: Edgy Art Would it feel awkward in a traditional home or a sweet, feminine cottage? Then it'll probably be the life of the party in an industrial space. Old road signs, giant abstract works, mixed-media sculptures — risk taking gives this style its swagger. Found objects, such as pulley wheels and giant faucet handles, can be mounted on the walls or massed on shelving for a powerful graphic punch.

EDIT: Bringing out the best in your quality investments demands that you edit out your less-than-favorite items where possible. The less in your space, the more special and curated each piece will feel.
