attention grabbing and highly intriguing. The handsome chairs are made from aluminum with a distressed finish and exposed rivets, much like the body of fighter planes it was copied from. The weathered soft leather (similar to vintage bomber jackets) seats bring a nostalgic appeal to the modern look. The execution of the industrial furniture should be subtle enough so as not to make the area of the home appear overly rustic. Industrial

pieces can make an extravagant home less intimidating. Adding distressed, patinaed shelving – such as the Dutch Industrial Tower from Restoration Hardware - inside an elegantly decorated bathroom softens out its look. The shelf is made from reclaimed elm wood making it beautiful and environment-friendly at the same time.A beautifully crafted nickel finish Element Coffee Table adds a vintage touch to a sophisticated living room. The table is

purposely distressed to replicate an aged authentic piece. Nicks, bumps and scratches are incorporated in the table to emphasize the antiquarian charm it is going for. Another positive factor about the industrial chic interior design is its neuter effect. It is robust enough for the man of the house, yet still retains an exquisite touch that is favored by the ladies. This type of design lessens the stressful cohabiting decisions new couples make.
