Switch Out Your Lightswitch Cover
Are you still unsure about this interior design, but you still want to incorporate it into your home? Start with your light switch covers, instead of getting those plain white or cream light switch covers, swap them with copper covers. It’s subtle and very inexpensive. You can also substitute your boring light switches with a vintage-looking toggle switch.

Upcycled Steampunk Coffee Table
Got some old gadgets or scrap metals laying in your home? Turn them into a coffee table! Simply create a base table, which could be made of excess pipes, and then a sheet of metal in which you’ll weld or place old scrap metals. If this is too complicated for you, you can have it made by your local carpenter or someone who specializes in metal crafts.
Another easy way to inject steampunk into your home is by installing industrial pipe brackets. They are pretty easy to do and come in many styles, colors, and shapes. These brackets are not only charming, but they’re also pretty useful and can be used as is, as a shelf bracket, or do something unconventional like bike storage.
