Reflect Rustic Industrial Style in Your Home
The Rustic Industrial style is popping up everywhere and warming up home décor in its wake. Channeling an industrial past, the furniture and décor features worn woods, rough surfaces and natural elements mixed with metal. Think metal piping for bookshelves, coffee table wood pallets on wheels and salvaged beams.

What Are the Different Styles of Interior Decor?
Most interior designers will tell you that to have a truly beautiful home, you need to have a coherent style. At the same time, you want your home to be a personal space. From colors and patterns to furnishing and décor, you want something that really reflects who you are and how you live your life.
Unless you are an interior designer, though, it can be difficult to decide on which style suits your personality best. You could just decorate your home one part at a time, following whatever mood you’re in when you do it, but this mishmash, eclectic approach only rarely works well.
