# Custom Steampunk Abodes Couple Turns Home into Post-Apocalyptic Paradise By TopDog | Published 2009-12-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-home References: [bit.ly](http://bit.ly/8emPWY) & [steampunkworkshop](http://steampunkworkshop.com/visit-steampunked-home) I thought that I was a huge fan of Victorian Steampunk style until recently discovering this steampunk home in Sharon, Massachusetts. Bruce and Melanie Rosenbaum have shown their love for everything steampunk by completely converting their modern Victorian home to a post-apocalyptic paradise. Initially designed by David Erikson of Erickson's Antique Stoves in a Victorian railroad depot in Littleton, Massachusetts, this steampunk home is absolutely amazing. **Implications** - Bruce and Melanie are very proud of their home and the way that it shows off their love for steampunk design. The couple likes the combination of "Victorian high design and craftsmanship" that go along with their steampunk aesthetic. The exterior of the home is just as lovely as the interior, fit with stone and teal-colored siding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Steampunk Home Design:** Opportunity for interior design firms to tap into the growing demand for steampunk-inspired home renovations. - **Post-apocalyptic Aesthetics:** Potential for artists and prop builders to create post-apocalyptic themed decor and furnishings for steampunk enthusiasts. - **Combining Victorian and Steampunk Styles:** Creative chance for fashion designers and furniture makers to blend traditional Victorian elements with steampunk aesthetics in their products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Chance for interior design firms to cater to clients seeking to transform their homes into steampunk-inspired abodes. - **Art and Prop Building:** Opportunity for artists and prop builders to create unique post-apocalyptic decor and furnishings for steampunk enthusiasts. - **Fashion and Furniture:** Potential for fashion designers and furniture makers to create innovative products that combine Victorian elegance with steampunk flair. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Historic Farmhouse Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-burns.md) - [Converted Industrial Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1960s-warehouse.md) - [Gothic-Themed Ornamental Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyde-hyde.md) - [Steampunk Desktop Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3in1-desk.md) - [Remote Work-Catering Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-plow.md) - [Anticipatory Architectural Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vulcan-house.md) - [NYC Apartment Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-loft.md) - [Brutalist-Inspired Apartment Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-est.md) - [Refurbished London Victorian Townhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/br-house.md)
