Lately I’ve been loving the Industrial Decor, mostly thanks to Steven Volpe’s home featured recently in Elle Decor (picture above).  There is something downtown-chic in Industrial Decor that makes me feel young and adventurous every time I see a room with industrial touches.  Unlike more feminine decor it’s a style that can appeal to women as much as men.   It’s also budget friendly due to the vast availability of vintage industrial furniture at flee markets.  Some of the staples of Industrial decor are muted colors like browns, black, white, grays; too much pattern and color is not its thing, while finishes such as metal, unfinished or whitewashed wood, leather and hides are more used.  As much as I love build-ins, I think there is a lot of flexibility in bookcase on casters.  Below, a shopping suggestion of really cool bookcases! Enjoy!
