The great thing about Industrial Chic is that it is simple, natural, neutral and timeless. Because of this you can mix individual industrial pieces with any other given style such as modern, shabby and so on.
Industrial Chic definitely works well for many homes. The look can be mixed and matched with many other décor styles and still be deemed as Industrial Chic. As it is an all-encompassing design style: you can add touches of rustic, traditional, shabby, ethnic and contemporary. Even if you are not committed to your entire home being Industrial Chic, you can incorporate other pieces you love and still embrace the design style.
