Industrial Lighting and Decor

Decorating with Industrial Lighting

Industrial style decorating began as people started living in old factory loft spaces where they were surrounded by vintage industrial style duct-work, exposed bricks, galvanized pipes, and metal fixtures. Today, a newfound appreciation for old industrial machines, salvaged antique metals, and reclaimed woods is driving the look of Industrial style chandeliers and lighting. To get the style look in your own home, mix together designs that showcase raw metals, clear glass treatments, and weathered wood finishes. Industrial outdoor lights and other lighting designs should showcase raw materials and have a utilitarian, non-ornamental look.
