Industrial vs Institutional

It's a fine line.

Adding something organic is the key.

Like a whole wall of tropical plants. Yes please.

or even just a stump.

or  a wooden step/bathmat

even a scraggly little plant warms up this concrete

(the floor to ceiling window doesn't hurt either)

Without a natural element

the industrial look feels like a public space

(like the school nurses office)

I am fascinated with industrial lofts lately, 

but probably more likely to live in an institution.
