The reclaimed hemlock and mushroom wood combination carries into the bedroom on a large headboard. It's 8 inches from the wall, allowing room for backlighting. "It gives it just a little bit of an Austin Powers room vibe," Fierabend says. So does the elegant gray shagadelic rug. Bookshelves: CB2; rug: Shaw; duvet cover: Pintuck in Slate, West Elm.

In this contemporary barn-like home, the main floor’s powder room has a unique reclaimed-wood and Plexiglas surround that glows like a lantern. The architects specified that the Plexiglas be sanded to give it a frosted look. See the rest of this home More: What to Know About Adding a Reclaimed-Wood W

Reclaimed wood. The rustic look of reclaimed wood has never been more popular. Its rough-hewn, aged appearance is a wonderful match for soapstone. Another thing that makes this kitchen so pleasing is the limited palette and all of the white. This allows the textures of both the soapstone and the reclaimed wood to get the attention they deserve.

vylc - thanks! It is reclaimed barnwood from a barn being taken down in Silverton, OR built in the 1920's. It was used on the floating shelves also.

Remember lighting - Good lighting is crucial in a cloakroom, especially if the room doesn’t have any windows. A series of recessed spotlights embedded into the floor and ceiling will wash the walls with a calm, subdued light, and create a pleasing shimmer and shine against brushed metal tiles. Inspiration for a contemporary powder room in London with a wall-mount sink, a wall-mount toilet, gray tile and gray walls. — Houzz love the feature wall, great idea — Clive Anderson Bespoke Furniture

The application is popular in modern buildings and landscapes. One needs to be aware that the rust can bleed onto adjacent surfaces, such as concrete sidewalks below a weathered steel wall. Design ideas for an industrial landscape in New York with a fire feature. — Houzz steel: Advantages: lasts long, easy to maintain, durable. Disadvantages: heavy, expensive. Character — Heather Emrick

Q

Try an earthy palette - The understated use of metallics in this stylish cloakroom is spot-on. I love the considered blend of oversized wall tiles in a warm, rusted-metal effect, the gleaming copper bowl and bleached wooden vanity, while the large, cog-style mirror brings the look together with aplomb.

In the most industrial bedroom of the house, steel diamond plates are set as flooring and run up one wall. “It actually feels really good on feet,” Price says, noting the perk of acupressure. As for the bed, the whole concept began with some vintage wheels that Price found. She wanted to design an elevated bed with them, so when a friend told her about an abandoned mill selling old, wide-plank sugar pine, an idea struck. This is an example of an industrial loft-style bedroom in Portland. — Houzz

Get this look: Hit your local salvage yard, flea market or swap meet to reclaim a weathered wood piece from its former factory glory. Old floors are great for new paneled walls or islands, and old window frames and doors can become new wall hangings, headboards, tables and art.

ith its clean, contemporary lines and foggy color palette, this residence could easily have felt cold. But the patchwork of corrugated metal on the wall (salvaged roofing from an old chicken coop) adds an undercurrent of character that ties the whole thing together. Who knew rusty metal could be so warming? Design ideas for a contemporary living room in Philadelphia with no fireplace and no tv. — Houzz

Elmwood Reclaimed Timber, for example, sells rustic tin paneling that comes primarily from deconstructed barns. The material cost for corrugated metal panels is less than or comparable to that for drywall, but corrugated metal doesn’t require the finishing and painting that drywall does. In most cases corrugated metal panels save time and money. Expect to pay $1.25 per square foot for basic new panels, and around $2 for higher-end finishes and prints. This is an example of a farmhouse bedroom with gray walls and dark hardwood floors. — Houzz

While the concrete in industrial spaces is usually scuffed, scratched or stained, this bathroom uses concrete in a new way, showing off a pattern created by wood forms. The surrounding clean white walls and ceiling, the dark floor, almost invisible glass counter and steel sink give this bathroom a polished industrial-inspired look. This is an example of a contemporary bathroom in San Francisco with a vessel sink. — Houzz board formed concrete accent wall — Metrow Vink Design Group

Buff it up - Concrete isn’t just for floors. Take it up the walls and choose anything from a slick polished finish to a rough surface or one with a wood grain impression.

An easy way to incorporate this trend into a bathroom design, as Castagna and Genner explain, is to introduce earthy materials like natural stone (the luxe bath zone above features marble floors and an onyx benchtop, as well as a walnut-plank feature wall) or timber-look tiles to your space.
