Mid-century modern styling and furniture is seen throughout the home, including a walnut dining table and matching cabinets in the home office. In fact, industrial meets retro style throughout, with the vintage art and prints on soft furnishings being paired with Crittall-style framing between the master bedroom and the office. Bathrooms, too, have this fusion, with one boasting a beautiful botanical sink with modern brass taps and mirrors. Another shower room embraces full industrial style with concrete walls and matte black sink.
