These are functional pieces of art in my opinion. Gone are the days where you spent a ton of time, effort and money to make a room match your personality only to try and hide plain old lights.
Make the fixtures match the decor and they work double time. Good lighting when you need it and a good looking piece when they are not in use.
What is Your Style?
I have been checking out magazines, and have seen many different ways to use industrial lighting and styling. You can mix them up a bit if you find it too dark a look,
A look I find really cool is to have one wall in your room as the focus wall and install bricks or faux bricks (which are super realistic) and then make the rest of the room white, then add some dark industrial style light fixtures or floor lamps.
That alone would create a really rustic look.
If you love a darker look you can add rustic pieces of furniture and artwork, or even cover a wall or patio door with a industrial look curtain to really bring the room to life.
There are no rules when it comes to your own personal design, just that you need to stay safe. Don't go digging in thrift shops of old fixtures unless you plan on having them safely rewired, which can get expensive. I could never find original or rustic looking fixtures at my local lighting store, so I started researching online and if you are in North America, there are tons of ideas and light fixtures online that you simply won't find at the local Home Depot that are safe and inspected but look old world.
Hopefully I have inspired you to rethink your lighting, and come away from the plain builder style lights and include your fixtures as part of the look you are going for. They act as functional pieces of art when not in use. Make your money work double time!
