Maybe it's time for a little Industrial fix? It's been a while...

Anything float your boat? A couple of them look like they're from older Restoration Hardware catalogs as I recognize many of the pieces. Even if Industrial is not your thing, the rooms are interesting to look at.

I like the modern vs. rustic furnishings. I must say it's different from the usual Georgian mansions people like to post here, but all things considered, no thanks. Too cold.

@faeriemoon

Thanks for posting something different. It has been awhile since I've seen industrial interiors posted here. It's not my style, but I always enjoy looking at photos.

I like the brick in #1, but the hanging lights, animal rugs, and torso art would need to go. The sofas and chairs in #5 & #14 look comfortable. I also like the furniture in #6, but I don't like the huge metal pieces.

Well done for an Industrial look . Doesn't seem quite as cold as that look can be sometimes .

I like the industrial look. I imagine it in a city loft as a bachelor pad.

Room as a whole did not appeal to me, but there were individual pieces that I liked.

8,9,12, and 13 appeal to me the most!!!

Big NO for me.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm not sure I have a favorite, but there are elements in all of them I like. I generally don't post pics of things I don't care for at all.

To me none of these feels sterile, which is one aspect of Industrial that I don't like. I tend to go for the Industrial/Rustic/Parisian apartment/eclectic vibe. I realize that's a tall order.

Regarding the animal rugs: I'm going on the naive assumption that they are all faux. I understand they probably are not. But if I lived there they would be.

Also, regarding #11: I think I've posted this one before but I re-posted it because I really like it. However, if I ever lived there I'd probably fall off the stairs and knock myself out on the first day of ownership and that would be the end of that.( I'm guessing that due to regulations they most likely had to install a railing five minutes after the photo shoot.)

I really like these...some more than others. My favorites are 1, 6, 9 and 11 with some tweaking. It's funny how we perceive things. A few people commented how cold these looked and I find them cozy, warm and inviting.

I do like lofts, but tend to like them somewhat softer, and more influenced by the Parisian aspect that you mention, @faeriemoon .

I find #6 to be interesting, since it seems more eclectic. It has almost a flavor to me of a 'dark academia' direction.

The comfortable leather furniture, moody walls, oversized vintage art photography, and weathered cabinets, appeal to me. The trunks bring in the world-traveller vibe-- I think they just went a bit overboard with trunks here, but one or two would be great.

It's the most soulful and evocative room to me.

@Oznell I like the softer look too; sometimes Industrial can be too stark and the rooms feel incomplete. Funny story about those trunks you like in #6; I have three of them in my living room. They're from RH I bought them several years ago.

Wow, @faeriemoon , those cool trunks are from RH? I would have thought they were European vintage-sourced. Lucky you!

I really like most of these rooms. I find them warm and inviting and not cold at all.

The only thing I dislike is the hanging light fixtures in the 1st picture.

I think all these rooms are very well done.

I enjoy loft and converted industrial spaces, especially those with a bit of exposed old brick. Most of these find me appreciating the spaces more than the decor. While there are some exceptions and some piece I like, most of them skew too modern for me. Were I ever to have a loft, I'd enjoy decorating it against type, to some extent anyway.

@Oznell , I "sea" what you mean.

I do not care for the industrial look at all. None of the rooms appeal to me.

I thought I'd like industrial, however, not a fan of these.

All of these rooms are exceptionally well done. I liked some better than others, several rooms were cosy!

It seems the fading of upholstery in these homes would be an issue; I'm sure I couldn't get warm enough if I lived on a loft.

Many thanks for an interesting post.
