INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
For a home that means business, look no further than the trendy former industrial plots on offer from Urban Spaces. Portrayed on screen as the shabby-chic dwellings in such shows as Queer as Folk and Rent to New Girl and Glee, warehouse apartments are timeless in their style, and paired with uber-trendy East London postcodes, offer the key to a cooler, more cultured lifestyle. Packed with the character of their functional beginnings, with high ceilings, wood beams and exposed brickwork, conversions offer more generous living space than any other type of property, combining modern fixtures and fittings with industrial decor, a trend that shows little sign of abating any time soon. Whodathunk we’d be reeping the benefits of the Industrial Revolution centuries later, from our very own reclaimed sofas?
