It is a great design that can be incorporated into any style home including contemporary, tradition and vintage. The raw, utilitarian style is not for those of you who want a piece of furniture that will blend into the background though. But if done right, it gives a sophisticated edge. The key to really blending industrial style into your home is by picking a few key pieces.
