Check out the designs of Candice Olson, a well-know Canadian designer for inspiration.

Candice says her work reflects her overall design philosophy, which is all about an eclectic fusion of contrasts: antique pared with modern, rustic with refined, minimal with adorned, matte set off by luster. Her stated goal is to provide a look that is current yet timeless, fresh yet familiar.

We love these ideas. You could also consider having similar colors and textural elements in order to transition between room elements. The key is seeing the potential a room has. We have some really great design ideas in our idea books! Please feel free to check them out. We would love to answer any questions and help you envision the space of your dreams.

If you type in industrial/rustic + whatever room you are interested in, in Houzz photos you'll get lots of inspirations. It's a matter of mixing elements with the right proportions, textures, colors, styles and it can take a lot of hits and misses to get it just right, so just experiment and do some research.
