Project: Industrial / Vintage Style Home

The term 'Industrial Style' often brings to mind harsh functional design and cold materials - which is fine if you like your interiors slick and cool - but it doesn't have to be like that. Coloured scaffold and sanded pallets can offer a warm and funky edge. Railway sleepers and coffee sacks can bring a touch of vintage too. Used with a bit of design flair, you can utilise these industrial materials to create soft and even child friendly furniture designs and interiors.
