Raw steel accents are one of my ALL TIME favorite architectural elements. Anything from loft railings, staircases, windows, shelving or beams…it’s right up my alley. Some may find raw steel cold, but for me it just brings more dimension to the space. It’s the mix of natural materials that I love so much. I don’t have the luxury of living in a home like one of these (yet) but I do bring out some steel accents where I can. They might be more in the form of say…a coffee table. :)

Here are a few of my favorites right now. Aren’t they just gorgeous!!!
