Merging Styles: Industrial Loft Meets Modern Luxe
Add a Little Va-Va-Voom to That Uber-Chic Loft Space, Will You?
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

Honestly, if I see one more too-cool-for-school ironic hipster loft featured with an unmade bed and a bunch of stuff made out of rusty pipes and oilcans, styled with carefully placed, never-used Catherine Holm enamelware and overflowing with messily stacked books, I might have to throw my computer out the window. Maybe it's because I look at design all day long, but I am over it.
That being said (apologies to Jerry Seinfeld, who hates when people say that), I still love industrial style; I still think Jennifer Beals had the best pad of all time in Flashdance; I still am able to appreciate concrete and exposed brick; and I still love a well-worn patina. I even have some carefully placed Catherine Holm pieces myself. I just want a little more va-va-voom, a bit more shine, maybe a few crystals or some new, un-cracked tiles. Is that so wrong?

This shot is from an upcoming Houzz Tour, in which New York City meets Savannah. Exposed brick, meet white paint. And a large panel of wallpaper. High ceilings meet a crystal chandelier, a mid-century modern Wassily chair meets a cushy yet tailored upholstered sofa, and a sleek lucite coffee table meets eclectic throw pillows.

An industrial color palette of black, white and gray meets a luxe texture palette of crystals, a marble-like Corian countertop, and bottle of bubbly.
Exposed brick and an industrial style ceiling complete with track lights meets a thick pile rug, rich chocolate upholstery and a crisp white contemporary sofa. The result is warm and contemporary.

| A rustic-chic wood plank roof gets cozy with a Bling chandelier; lots of open space and floor-to-ceiling glass meet a pair of clean-lined sofas fashioned with velvet bolster pillows. |

Half of the island resembles an old work table, and the stools recall factory seating, while the crisp white and sophisticated farmhouse touches keep this kitchen bright, open and light.

| Stainless steel counters borrow style from a commercial kitchen, while the tiny scale of the shiny metal backsplash tiles add sophistication. The sculptural piece recalls the found-object type of work one might spy in a Brooklyn Modern style home. |

| If you saw all of the pieces in this room in a piled in a warehouse, you'd think it was wacky. However, the way they are arranged — keeping the color palette to almost all black and white and paired with sophisticated furniture — adds glamor. Especially that furry pillow and that sheepskin throw! This is not easy to pull off. |

This room has an overall luxe look, but when you look more closely, you realize the desk's wood looks a bit rough, and that there is a primitive metal industrial lamp atop it. The mix keeps things from becoming too-too mirrored and gilded.

| This wide-open space looks like it might have had a past life as a loading dock, but floating built-ins, beautiful wood panels, and tubular chairs and finishes give it a rich look.
