Industrial Design

From lighting to side tables, industrial design is making waves in 2015. An ideal compromise, industrial strikes a balance between vintage, and modern –and works especially well in corporate or urban environments. Keeping in-line with the industrial theme, concrete is also featuring strongly in a number of home designs, showing up in end tables, planters, sculptures, and even light fixtures.

Geometric Shapes

Geometric shapes are everywhere! The beauty of these strong, bold shapes –is that they mesh well with a number of modern design styles, and can add a sense of stability and balance to a room. Sculptures, wall art, throw pillows, and rugs are all relatively simple ways to incorporate some shapes into your home. Or look for furniture and fixtures that feature strong lines and bold shapes.
