The Industrial Loft is a space defined by large, open spaces and an elegant and economical usage of that space. Therefore open kitchens are most definitely the rule rather than the exception when it comes to the Industrial Loft style of decorating. Even if a dining table is nearby, an island between the food prep area and the food enjoyment area almost always exists, requiring great seating. Thankfully fantastic industrial style bar and counter stools exist in abundance to fulfill this perennial need. <br><br> Swivel tops, reclaimed wood, heavy cast metal bases, and adjustable backs all make consistent appearances. When seeking an easy, continental look, the French café chair or stool in a variety of painted or plain metal is a favorite of many loft dwellers.
