The industrial style is a hot commodity right now. It is one of the spearheading movements of the early 2000’s and hasn’t lost momentum ever since. Its raw appeal is attractive to those who are leery of the sleekness that comes with the modern contemporary aesthetic. It is raw and organic, but with an edge that articulates as slightly contemporary and that is what sets it apart.
Here are the 6 ways which you can emulate a raw, industrial aesthetic in your homes.
1) Working with bruteness

Wood, in and off itself is quite a brilliant material.
