A
t the height of the industrial revolution,
the exposed brick, duct work and pipes
of factories were not a
desirable look, but simply
inevitable. Today, leaving the
inner workings of a home
exposed, or even bringing in
recycled, raw materials is a
strong design movement with
emphasis on aesthetic, rather
than necessity.
Industrial style adherents may
have begun the style with
raw, original and reclaimed
materials, but today many retailers carry items, that
although brand new, would look at home in a 19th
century factory or barn. Think concrete walls and
floors, worn, exposed brick, walls of factory windows
and dark heavy materials such as pipes mixed with
honey stained or reclaimed wood. Neutral palettes with bursts of
strong color work well with this style.
