Industrial Loft Lighting

Industrial styled loft apartments are becoming popular in cities all over
the world.  The style is defined by masculine colors, exposed brick, high ceilings with beams and large windows. The hardest part about designing the interior of a loft is adding warmth to the raw and rough industrial style floors, walls, and ceilings.  But the best part about this style is it can easily be achieved on a budget!  Old worn down, tables, sofas, and accessories can be found in second hand stores and even your grandma’s garage.

GK LightrailYou have a couple choices when it comes to designing the space.  If you want to work with the already incorporated industrial style, try adding modern accents.

The ruggedness of wood or brick accentuates the bronze or chrome clean cut finishes with smooth surfaces.  Add some life and color to the loft. Place a plant in the corner, paint a shelf bright blue, or add a vintage orange tin collectible to a credenza.  Look for color inspiration from your surroundings like the sky and ground.

Finding lighting for industry styled lofts can be tough.  The fixtures should match the overall feel and accent your prized possessions.  Lamps.com suggests table and floor lamps, track and rail lighting, pendants, sconces, and fans.
