farmhouse meets industrial

by Sarah Eddy

a perfect pairing of warmth and practicality

The comfortable farmhouse and the cold, modern industrial loft: they sound like polar opposites, but these two design styles blend surprisingly well. Their similarities—both styles rely on a simple practicality, often incorporating timeworn elements such as distressed wood—allow them to meld while their differences can add balance to any living space. Here are a few industrial- and farmhouse-style furnishings to consider adding to your home.

 

Simply Amish  Ironwood Coffee Table

Sharp edges and straight lines make the Ironwood Coffee Table a modern and dignified choice. The sturdy table will fit in with other industrial furnishings or it can add a subtle contemporary edge to a softer farmhouse vibe. It can be customized with a number of different finishes, all of which become even more elegant when paired with the ink-black of the table’s legs.
