Bestselling author Sara Emslie shines a spotlight on urban
industrial style and shows how reclaimed materials can add warmth
and personality to your living space. New pressures on housing mean
that pioneering homeowners are converting ex-industrial,
non-residential spaces into innovative homes, while others are
taking inspiration from the industrial look to bring character to
newbuild interiors. In the 1960s and ’70s, many urban
warehouses and factories became vacant, attracting the first wave
of artists and creatives seeking large, affordable studio spaces.
Since then, industrial areas in many cities have become
sought-after residential districts and urban regeneration has gone
from strength to strength. Nowadays the trend shows no sign of
waning, with a second generation of urban pioneers cleverly
converting former lofts, warehouses, schools, factories, offices
and retail spaces into unique and highly desirable homes.
In Urban Style, Sara Emslie investigates the practicalities
for transforming non-residential spaces into homes, the key
elements of the look – from exposed brickwork to copper piping
and metal roof trusses – and the related rise in the popularity
of industrial design. She then explores twelve inspiring and varied
real-life homes that showcase the very best of the Urban
Style look.
