Guest Picks: The Industrial-Chic Home Office
Over the past year, I’ve fallen in love with industrial home decor. It combines vintage pieces, warm reclaimed woods and old-school industrial accents. Industrial spaces can easily be made cozy with a combination of these staples along with soft, neutral area rugs and window treatments. For offices in particular, it’s important to be able to organize a lot of items while also keeping them at your fingertips, and luckily, the industrial look gives us a lot of storage options to choose from. — Ashley from 7th House on the Left
