It has always fascinated me how certain materials manage to adapt perfectly to different styles based on how they are displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this blog, I want to show you how easy it is to create two totally different looks whilst using the same surface: Pearl grey SM Marble<\/a>! It is a known fact that grey is a neutral colour par excellence and this reason alone makes it suitable for different rooms. But how can this material adapt itself to two looks that seem completely opposite?
I have compared two of the styles that – for decades now – have been at the peak: the industrial and Nordic styles. One is very masculine and \u201crough\u201d, the other more soft and subdued, but both focusing on textures and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The industrial style began in New York in the 50s and became a trend when it was associated with films and artistic movements such as that of Pop Art: before long, the idea of recycling old factories, warehouses or industrial spaces as homes immediately became very attractive, especially in large cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From then on, the industrial style has always had some essential structural elements as its common denominators: brick walls, concrete pillars, large urban-style windows, an open-space structure and a beautiful uniform floor capable of visually blending all areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, when designing an industrial-style space, you must first consider what materials will be used: they will be your main guide for furnishings and accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal, concrete, raw wood, weathering steel, known as corten, and glass (better if screened or frosted) will immediately recreate the industrial atmosphere we are looking for, with the help of some small but fundamental details … Just like the perfect lighting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing lamps with the bulbs in plain view or with the typical \u201cfactory\u201d style metal lampshades can make the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an industrial-style moodboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what about the Nordic style? The typical bright and welcoming style of Scandinavian homes has, for several years, become a trend around the world and it seems that it will still be appealing for a very long time.
Neutral colours, relaxing atmosphere, iconic furnishing and natural materials are the main features of Nordic style homes: the right combination of these four elements is all it takes, and the problem is solved!
As opposed to an industrial style, in this case, the structure of the home does not determine the success of the look: it is, therefore, a style that can suit a flat as well as a detached house, in a big city as well as in the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The environment must be airy, and this is why a neutral and minimal material like the pearl grey marble floor is the ideal choice, especially if combined with furnishings made of natural wood and \u201csoft\u201d accessories\u2026 Exactly as shown in my moodboard dedicated to this style:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
