Modern industrial interior is about showing all that lies beneath. From rustic exposed finishes and structural elements to industrial inspired lighting. This style emerged from people buying old or abandoned warehouses, factories and barns and turning them into modern homes, commercial spaces and office spaces. I'm truly in love with this style for all its details: exposed brick walls, steel columns, bare beams, worn painted metal, bare bulbs, earthy wood, concrete floors, vintage furniture,...
Even though i'm inspired by an industrial interior I sometimes feel that it's more appropriate for a commercial space or an office. A pure industrial home can be very manly and a bit cold. That's why I love to give it a more feminine vibe by adding romantic cottage detailing.
Cottage interior is all about the love for a cozy, family friendly and warm environment. It's a mixture of light colors, comfortable materials and soft fabrics. A cottage interior doesn't have to be an expensive interior, you can buy a second hand table or closet and repaint them in the typical cottage colors. When you think cottage colors you see sandy beiges, broken whites and of course a little bit of positively grey.
But yet again a pure cottage home is a bit too much for me. So that is why I'm opting for a combination of the two, an industrial cottage home. I'm taking the cottage colors and warmth and I'm mixing it up with structural and rustic elements. I hope you'll love it as much as I do.
