Home: How To Get The Industrial Look

Several home decor styles are making their way to the forefront for bachelors and on top of the list for many men is the industrial look. This look is usually found in loft spaces or expansive apartments/condos, but can easily be done in a traditional style house. Typically, the style features metals, leather and re-purposed old wood. The style screams rough and rugged, but also can be done in a way that is homey and warm. One of our favorite companies that specialize in this style is Vintage Industrial.
