Inviting Industrial Space

Industrial, but not overly so...

I like this space. I am liking black trim and accents of black or dark charcoal more and more.

I would have to switch out that sofa for something more comfortable...it looks stiff and very uncomfortable to me.

I like the black accents too. I think I've mentioned a couple of times that I am really into the new-ish black window trim look that has become popular of late.

@faeriemoon ,

A house down the street from us was just built that has black trim inside and out.

Living in a beach community some neighbors thought it was too dark. Well it looks gorgeous. The builder let me in a few days ago to see the inside and I love it. It has off white walls with muted slightly distressed black trim.

The outside is 2 shades of light gray with the blackish trim.

He said he wants to do the front door a color and is leaning towards a yellow.

I can't wait to see the house when it is completely finished.

I often like loft or industrial spaces, but don't much care for this one. I can't put my finger on it exactly. Maybe it has to do with there being too many black metal beams, the stark white on the second level, the mandatory bike inserted into the loft space and the overall too contemporary vibe of the kitchen and furniture... I like a touch of black in any space and I too like the currently popuar black window frames, but other than the brick (which I'd prefer was older brick), the old leather Chesterfield sofa, and possibly the floor, there isn't much about this home I appreciate.

LOVE this and every thing about it--where my facsination for industrial came from, I have no idea--maybe a touch too much black but I would live there in a heartbeat!!! I looked at it again and I think its the brick ---not really a fan of red brick ------

@stevieb I kind of question why the bike is upstairs. Do they haul it down the stairs everytime they want to take a ride?

Re: Inviting Industrial Space

@wagirl I agree about the brick. I would prefer old or well-worn whitewashed brick if this were my space.

Love, Love, Love this space. There's a few decor items I'd change out but, overall, I do love the whole loft.

While this isn't in my taste zone, I do like it! I would have a different couch and rug, some decor changes but over all I find the space appealing!

@faeriemoon I like this space very much and really like the dark accents. Personally, I would like that white sofa to look a little more comfortable. To me, it looks a little too hotel or resort lobby.

I don’t normally, like loft spaces or black interiors, but I like this one. I like the black trim, the brick, and the paint colors. Not crazy about the flooring. I would need to switch out some of the furniture. The bike upstairs is impractical.

I'll be the oddity-- nothing new, ha. Normally I love industrial spaces, (esp. the ones you put up, @faeriemoon ), but not this one.

Too dark. First floor ceilings too low. Too many strong, horizontal graphic lines-- then add in the graphic chevrons of the floor, the diagonal lines across the brick, even the strong graphics in the throw and pillows. Wood floor colors not compatible with other woods in the space. The overall look is too busy for me, I guess.

However, I would love to have that coffee table, burnished distressed leather sofa, and that tree!

I think this is attractive and well done but I don't think I could live with the black beams.

Nice space, lots of room. I don't understand the bike inside and upstairs.

@Oznell Sorry this was a dud for you, LOL. I love that coffee table too!

I like the industrial look but the furniture is hideous. I do not like the floor. These people need an Interior Designer.
