Beyond wood and metal, Warm Industrial welcomes with worn leather, natural elements, and the comfort of things that have a history. The opposite of formal, this living room is made for relaxing.
Though an ancient Chesterfield or a simple rustic-framed sofa would do, the relaxed shape of this option would look equally at home in an expansive loft or a cozy A-frame.

Love this mix of warm and industrial cool. The butterfly chair is brilliant.
Holy snot! Some of this stuff is expensive. Do people really buy it?
Okay, I have this look in my house and have not spent close to these prices on anything! You can do great (and easy) DIY pieces from materials at Home Depot or Lowe's for a fraction of the cost! Etsy has a ton of these pieces for <$300. Another thing that has really worked is to contact local building companies. Often, when they are tearing down buildings, really great older metal and wood pieces (think metal bookshelves etc) will be available for dirt cheap (or free). Local universities are another great option - if they are renovating (and they usually are) older vintage stuff like funky metal lab stools and floor to ceiling wooden bookcases are often placed on "available" lists and again, either free or cheap (think $5 for a metal cabinet etc).
For buying new, CB2 and World Market have some affordable (<$300) range.
Holy mackerel, that couch looks comfy! My dogs would spend all day lounging on it.
I agree re the prices. Why pay $750 for a cow hide when there are cheaper sources? I got two huge ones on eBay (from the same vendor) - for approx. $190 each.
I have to run now before Rueful gives me public spanking.
There are only two items here that have four-digit price tags, and those are typically the pieces worth investing in, especially when, when you look at the whole room, there are considerable savings elsewhere. So, yes, holy snot, they do.
As far as "cheaper elsewhere" yes, I'm sure... but for the purposes of an assembled-image post, you pull from what you find. I'm assuming one would do more research for one's own home than one might for a pay-by-the-post assignment...
NO need to spend this much to get this look. It's easily re-created on a much tighter budget.
to continue my last comment, if you dont want to pay the $ from the traditional retail sources mentioned, this style lends itself well to found-objects, so the budget can be anything you set your mind to. The tree trunk end table is the perfect example.
I'm not sure whether to love or hate that many of the hand-picked items here are mass-produced pieces that are incredibly inspired by vintage pieces. I adore that the vintage aesthetic is so appreciated, but wish there could be more emphasis the unique items already in existence.
I've been eyeing Anthros Ettore console for months, but at $3000 it isn't likely. Maybe I'll seek out some old beams and pipes and attempt my own version. Like the look though. I'd like to see AT explore more of the DYI options.
