If you think the current industrial design rage is confined to the west, you’d be quite mistaken. We spotted a cafe and coffee roaster Down Under that has fully embraced the trend and taken its industrial décor to new levels of chic. Opened in a former pie factory built in the early 1900s, the Grounds of Alexandria features black and steel framing, reclaimed wood cabinetry and tables, and green-and-white subway tiles. The deep bowl barn pendants add yet another industrial touch to the wildly popular cafe which is famous not only for its seven-bean coffee blend but for its hearty fare as well.

If you asked anyone a few years ago what the big trend in design was, they probably would have told you anything (and everything) neutral. It was all the rage because it worked with everything and it appealed to most anybody in the case of home’s resale. Nowadays, things are a little different; it seems that many everyday items are picking up on the chevron craze. Originally made popular by the high-fashion brand Missoni, it has made its way into our homes in all sorts of ways. You may have used it yourself with duvet covers, pillowcases and the occasional lampshade, but could you be so courageous as to paint your floors like it? It’s a bold move, but it can be done and will make a huge statement if you do it right. Simply balance your sharp lines out with plenty of white, gray, and other neutrals like they did today.
