I have been working on a design project that has me on a quest for industrial lighting. You know....the kind of lighting that combines rustic with vintage and metal with clean simple lines.
The kind of lighting that might have hung in a factory 100 years ago....like these beautiful lights featured recently in Residence Magazine.
Industrial lighting.....it's calling my name. And so....in no particular order....here are my top seven industrial lighting picks for 2014.
Perfect for over a sink in an industrial style kitchen....this light pairs the best of two worlds. It features a modern aesthetic combined with the vintage styling. Two of these lights would make a tun statement piece over a kitchen island or dining table.
Here.....function meets style. With its extendable arm and functional vitality, this lamp is an excellent choice for an industrial style bedroom. Hung over a side table, the vintage styling and clean lines will enhance any decor.
Looking like it stepped right from the pages of a turn-of-the-century catalog, this silver wall scone brings elegant and functionality to any room.
