Style Me Sundays: Industrial Chic Living Room

Who would have thought the newest interior design trend would spring from such an unlikely source? Industrial chic decor translates the heavy duty, rustic, and ergonomical objects found in factories into functional and stylish pieces for every room in the house. Start with a neutral foundation, like this Almsted rug from IKEA then add fun embellishments. Metal baskets like the perforated metal baskets, and wire baskets are practical means of storage without sacrificing design. Two industrial essentials are the Bordeaux Tin Wall Clock and the Wilcox Studio Light. These accessories look like they are fresh from the factory floor! And don’t forget to juxtapose your hard, cold, materials with soft, colorful, textiles through your furniture selection like this sofa and pillows.

That pesky red hue that Sir Isaac Newton placed at the very beginning of the color spectrum when he first described it back in the 17th century grabs your attention every time. That’s why fire engines, stop signs, and certain poisonous critters bear the color red. It screams, “Look at me and pay attention!” It’s no wonder so many business use red in their exterior color schemes.

New Barn Lights Draw Inspiration from Vintage Colors & Styles

Drawing inspiration from color is something that we love to do here at Barn Light Electric. For example, one of our most popular finishes, Jadite, was inspired by vintage dishes and other cooking supplies from the 1950s. However, color inspiration isn’t the only way to draw upon those ideas floating around in your head. Check out this photo from Apartment Therapy’s feature, Going Green. An undoubtedly vintage stove bears a great vintage green tone. Whether it’s authentic or a reproduction, we’re obsessed!

Rustic Sconces Enhance Sleek, Simple Cabin in Pacific Northwest

cgu_industrial_static_topless_sconce.jpgWhile many of us dream of an island getaway place that features palm trees and sugar white sands, there are other islands on this planet that offer the seclusion, serenity, and peacefulness we seek.

Its sleek design melds perfectly into its rugged surroundings with cedar-lined ceilings and floors, a tiny kitchen, and outdoor shower. And though rustic, the outdoor shower features hot water thanks to a propane tank and a cozy woodstove offers plenty of heat just a few steps away.
