Industrial Lighting.

If you follow me on twitter, you saw me gushing over Barn Light Electric yesterday. (And if you don't follow me, what are you waiting for?!) They have so many amazing vintage industrial inspired lights. My favorite part of design is juxtaposing seemingly opposite elements to create an on-trend, yet unexpected room. Adding a pendant or two from Barn Light (or scour flea markets the good old -fashioned way) to an otherwise new/modern space keeps the look from becoming fussy or predictable. A few of my favorites can be found here, here, and here.

Here are some of my favorite spaces with industrial lighting.
