Industrial Design:

Other interior design trends may be fleeting, but the industrial look never goes out-of-style. Incorporating an industrial look can be cost effective, because this look is achieved by appearing unfinished and raw. The industrial look is most easily done in living spaces that have exposed brick and pipes, but most living spaces can attain this look, by using rustic furniture. Most thrift stores have worn furniture, like metal carts and sinks, which can be reintroduced as a unique table or sink fixture. The industrial look is easily accomplished on a budget, but it is important to incorporate color to brighten up this style of interior design.

Grey, Yellow, and Purple:

Carefully chosen color is essential to pulling together any room, especially if you are choosing to use the industrial look. Painting accents, like window treatments, grey will pull together the industrial look. Using purple decorations, or as a wall color, will compliment grey accents and furniture, while adding a touch of warmth. Yellow will be a popular interior design color for 2012, because it brings sparkle to a room heavily decorated with grey and purple. Color choices will set the mood in a room, so it is essential to match the color with the room’s purpose.

Environmentally Sound Fabrics:

Going green has been increasing in popularity, and choosing colorful environmentally friendly fabrics can help add color to the industrial design. Environmentally sound fabrics are made with organically grown cotton. Organically grown cotton is better for the environment and farm workers, because it is not grown with pesticides. This cotton is used for all types of fabrics; like sheets and towels. Choosing colors like, purple, yellow, and grey, can help add vibrancy to your home, while staying environmentally conscious.

Most people entertain at their homes this time of year, and an outdoor fireplace is a great way to literally add warmth to these gatherings. Outdoor fireplaces add a touch of elegance the exterior of your home.
