Create warmth in an industrial-inspired home by knowing the right lighting to choose. Pendant lights that feature glass or metal and shades in simple vintage shapes such as domes or cages are ideal. Alternatively, hang exposed bulbs on simple fabric cords with brass fittings.
Combine the old with the new by selecting industrial-inspired pendants with cutting edge globe technology. Hang mismatched pendants in a cluster.
Use warmer metals for a wholesome feel and add greenery to freshen and balance the industrial edge.
To achieve an industrial look, the complementing decor should feature vintage and rustic finishes, such as exposed or painted brick, polished concrete and recycled timber.
Keep colour schemes soft and neutral using white and green, or go for something dramatic and moody by using darker blues and greys. For a more modern vibe, add elements such as simple contemporary furniture pieces.

Available exclusively through Bunnings Australia, the high quality range features decorative pendants that epitomise the Scandi look through materials such as pale unfinished timber and matt black metal. Using simple, limited palettes in neutral, charcoal, black and white, the lighting retails from the steal of $29.90 to $399.00.

The perfect complement for your home, interior designer and trend forecaster Bree Leech says the simple contemporary designs from the range will help bring a little bit of Scandinavia to your household. “The Scandi look is where graphic geometry and clean lines meet organic and relaxed finishes. Modern lighting that combines any of these elements works in the Scandi look. Choose simple large industrial pendants or timber balanced-arm lamp bases with black or white shades. Other options might include single colour or timber finish graphic geometric designs that feature shards, facets, cubes or polygons.”
