When Industrial Meets Modern.....

Something spectacular happens!

I was wandering through Etsy the other night putting items that caught my eye into my favorites file...I love to go look at all of them as a group and see if anything POPS!

Well when industrial decor items sit next to modern decor items....things POP!


I love the clean lines of each of these items, wouldn't they look great in a home?

Please click on each of the shops featured to visit the item and click here to view the treasury...

The XYZ of Industrial Decor

                             VintageEmbellishment

 One of the newest decorating trends is "Industrial Decor"...but what is it?????

Industrial Decor uses items from factories and schools, medical facilities, churches, farms and shops to create a decorating theme using functional vintage items.  The well worn stools, tables, office furniture, wastebaskets, lighting, storage units and miscellaneous items from industry fit the criteria perfectly.

Their chief characteristic is that they were designed to do a job -- sturdiness, function and durability were the hallmarks of these items, and  therein lies their charm. A little bit of rust??? Just makes the item better!

I went looking on the internet for items that would be perfect  for adding a touch of  Industrial flavor to the decor of a home....I found so many wonderful items on Etsy that I created a treasury about them :) Click on the name below the treasury to visit the treasury..



I also looked around Zibbet and was pleased to find some interesting things there too...Including Industrial prints for your walls.
