Rusted Steel in the Home

Rusted steel is generally seen as a worn, stain-inducing industrial material. But it has been used in interiors, whether entire floors of Corten steel or mirrors in sealed rusted steel frames. The material is at once warm (the rusty hue and rough texture) and cool (the hard surface and cold steel)...
