Guest Picks: Industrial Chic
Imagine all of these pieces in one home, but throughout various rooms. Some bring a bold statement, others offer just a casual nod towards a certain trend or style. — Morgan from Pepper Design Blog
A traditional task lamp in a brilliant color such as red or yellow is the perfect addition to an Industrial Chic desk. I love the bright metallic too. Paired with a wooded desk this lamp would be a great industrial accent. Contemporary meets traditional.
I love that this side table adds just a bit of industrial to a bedroom or living room. It's sleek lines, warm wood tones and cool metal finishes bring the right amount of contrast to a space.
A rich gray sofa with clean lines and just enough 'pouf' for comfort is an excellent addition to an Industrial Chic space. I love the armrests!
For that cool, calm ambiance of Industrial Chic, these curtain panels provide just enough "billowing in the breeze" but in the right color palette for a loft apartment.
Soft enough for comfort and sleek enough to be added to an Industrial Chic office, this occasional chair would look great tucked into a corner with a short, round metal side table, or paired together in a lobby or waiting area. I love the lines in the cushion and the armless design!
Consider rounded edges and geographic prints for decor in an Industrial Chic space. The basic, bold colors and repeating pattern make this vase an ideal addition.
This wire basket is the perfect catch-all for magazines in the living room, fabric swatches in a craft room or clothing in a bedroom. I love the look of wire baskets in an industrial loft and this great design and price is no exception.
A bookcase on wheels makes for quick transitioning in a room — how brilliant to be able to pull this up to your desk and push it back against the wall. Fill this Industrial Chic bookcase with whimsical stationery for the office, classic white dishes in the kitchen or horizontally stacked books in the living room.
This bold pattern would make a grate statement wall in an Industrial Chic space — especially in the soft baby blue that helps to balance out some of the cooler metals of traditional industrial decor. I love the slight metallic shimmer. Not ready to commit to an entire room or wall? Try wallpapering a pinboard to add a little pattern to your office space.
Keep your work in order in this slick and modern hive storage unit. The perfect addition to an industrial living room or office, these white cubbies could house books, travel finds or favorite decor pieces. The innovative design allows multiple units to connect, so line a wall with these units or build up!
Loose papers and magazines are easily wrangled by these vintage-inspired butlers that would be ideal for an industrial space. I'm imagining these three or four across on worn oak bookcases, right next to a giant metal filing box.
These boxes make for the chicest way to store anything from recipe cards in the kitchen to incoming mail in the office. Sometimes you just need a pretty, closed-lid box to stuff all of your "stuff." Perfect in gray and pink for an Industrial Chic office!
I love fabric boxes for everything storage and this Target version is the right price with a gorgeous print for an Industrial Chic space. Boxes such as these can corral every imaginable loose item in the kitchen, living room or office.
Industrial doesn't have to read "cold" — add in a few wood tones here and there and your traditional industrial space warms up! Great for a dining room in a set or as an occasional chair in the office.
This Jonathan Adler print would look great in an industrial bedroom loft. Geometric print? Check. Soft muted colors? Check. Contemporary yet comfy.
This wall mirror is a great accent piece for an Industrial Chic room because it provides an ideal balance between cool and warm — modern meets homey. I love the vintage slightly burnished mirror in the crisp lines of a black frame.
This industrial-style pendant light is an ideal size for above a dining room table, paired for a kitchen island or as a contemporary hanging lamp over an office desk. I love the slightly burnished finish.
A thick, white shag rug will soften an industrial loft and provide just enough hominess to balance out cool, clean lines while warming up your feet.
Keep organized with a smart and creative looking chalkboard full of lists, messages and to-dos. Very chic, very contemporary! How perfect would this silhouette be posted on a stainless steel fridge or even above your work space?
Subway art is incredibly popular right now and fits in oh-so-well with that Industrial Chic look. I love the pops of red and yellow in this piece — and the price!
Juxtapose large, industrial-style subway wall art with a little vintage. This painting pays homage to the many numbers found in a city but provides enough primary color distraction to lighten up an Industrial Chic loft. Next: More guest blogger product picks
A dark gray desk made of metal is the perfect base for an Industrial Chic–style office. Pair with bright white accessories for a modern look or try soft, garden prints (in the form of a chair, desk caddy or magazine butlers) for the perfect juxtaposition of vintage meets industrial.
