Blackboard paint is everywhere, as it sits very well with the industrial look I have added some pictures to give you an idea of where to use the paint. Upcyling is also big so I have given you a few incentive shots you can apply at your house, for example the wooden cable role used as a table, the magnificent chevie seat hope you enjoy, don't forget to link back to kazzstlye.

Today I'm featuring a house in Mexico, this is what I would call a Post Modern Adobe style, it still has the square adobe shape with the moorish influence from Spain such as the tiles and the arch. I am not a big fan of Post Modernism but this is a tasteful example of appropriation from traditional Mexican Adobe to a 21st century adobe which I still believe fits into the industrial theme I am covering this week.

TURQUOISE, ORANGE & GREY 

This building has mostly a square shape walls, windows, pavers and roof line this places the clever  use of a round port hole window in total contrast, this perspective  shows how geometrical shapes influence the overall appearance of the building and without this window it would lack interest and thus gives the house balance. The use of the circle features subtly throughout this amazing architecturally designed house.

Again the use of circles to balance out the square lines such as the tiles bookshelf doors etc

Industrial and loft style is the subject Im covering for this first week of spring or fall in the northern hemisphere a lovely time to be out searching for treasures. Today I have posted a random collection of industrial style interiors and exteriors, so as to give you an idea of what to look for and how to integrate them into your home.

Black Is The New Black

Another example of a mono-cromatic colour scheme with the wood intensifying warmth and texture, which would otherwise give a cold atmosphere to the room.

An old door used as a desk if you want a flat top, use a piece of glass you can then lay photos underneath or a calendar. I often see glass off-cuts at my junk shop.

A vinget of wood plastic and glass creates a lovely composition for outside or inside

Wooden boxes are becoming hard to find here in Australia so if you find them best to keep them. This look could be achieved with the use of milk crates all the same colour experiment, send me a photo of what you come up with.

These old tool boxes are still easy to find at junk shops

I love everything about this bathroom, why do we have to cover out walls with sheets of plaster?
Imagine this magnificent wall covered with one dimensional  plasterboard it would not have the character and warmth it has now and the history of the wall would be covered shame.

Check out the line painting horizontally around the wall in the similar colour as the skirts and the window this connects everthing giving the study a calm atmosphere. I find the large industrial spotlights are very hard to find,though this desk again could be made from a old door which are still available at some junk shops or on council verge pickups.

Mono-cromatic with a touch of wood see top photo.

This industrial, loft, or warehouse design is a sublime precedent of working with the existing architecture, not against it, this approach gives a comfortable,calm and interesting interior design. This converted warehouse is an excellent example of working your design in with the history of the building.

Subtle splashes of red appear throughout this house this stimulates the colour scheme and gives a focus to an otherwise busy design.

the black white and grey colour palette with touches of red as in the brick wall or the flowers keep this otherwise busy area focused. I love the letters on the wall and the timber door.

Black on the wall adds interest and layers to otherwise mono- chromatic outside area.

To juxtapose this luxurious bed against the rough unadulterated brick wall is poetic for me this is the perfect bedroom.

Love the new patches on the wall have been allowed to show and will blend in with this stunning wall.

Again red shows its head, the darker grey  ingeniously painted lower half brings the wall height down as you would do the opposite to make your ceiling higher.

The first day of spring here in Australia, this post is a collection of Boho, vintage, loft and warehouse styles that all work together and reflect a wonderful relaxed personality, again these looks could be achieved using second hand fabrics, and furniture.

The colour pallet is sublime, the concrete wall is a work of unadulterated art it shows the history of the house and there is no need for art on the wall as the wall is art.

A great example of a plain white wall where good art adds texture, depth and dimension to the room imagine this room without the art.

boho warehouse or loft style

This bohemian lounge room  a concrete floor painted grey, white walls and vintage furniture with floral cushions these styles work very well together and could be reproduced on a limited budget.  

Boho style with curtains made from scarfs.

This warehouse, loft  has such a comfortable feeling with the vintage bed one would not want to leave this space it is so inviting.
