15 Beds Made from Pipe to Give Your Apartment Industrial Chic
Industrial chic is a growing design trend that utilizes hard metals once reserved for technical applications to create softer, functional furniture or decorative accent pieces. One major utilization of this type of design scheme is DIY pipe beds. Constructed from galvanized pipe and lock-in-place, Kee Klamp fittings, these beds epitomize the versatility of this "old meets new" approach to contemporary interior design.
The main draw of industrial chic pipe beds lies within their limitless abilities to be integrated into any type of existing design scheme. Once erected, the beds become visual anchors that allow the other design elements in your bedroom to literally "pop" out of the space, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind bedroom that incorporates your unique, multi-faceted decor tastes.
