Industrial
Furnishing your home in an industrial style
Industrial-style décor brings a sense of character and honesty into the home, where raw materials and open spaces create a feeling of calm and freedom. Flooded with natural light, it balances the rough beauty of brick, wood and metal with sleek, modern touches.
What are the staples of the industrial look?
Furniture and accessories in this look combine raw materials with practical design, creating spaces that feel both stylish and lived-in. Concrete surfaces, metal-framed chairs, and weathered finish wood tables add texture and character. Lighting with metal fixtures or exposed bulbs sets a distinctive, atmospheric tone.
What colours define an industrial space?
Dark, cool shades of white, grey, and beige perfectly capture the raw atmosphere of an industrial interior. Metallic-finished accessories add a lively touch, while textiles in warm browns or muted greens bring a cosy, inviting feel.
What materials make an industrial space stand out?
Industrial interiors shine through the use of raw, minimally treated materials like concrete, natural wood, and exposed brick. Dark or metallic accents, inspired by warehouse spaces, add depth and character to the room. Furniture upholstered in leather, especially aged leather, brings a timeless, lived-in feel that perfectly balances the simplicity and rugged charm of industrial style.
What furniture and accessories would suit an industrial space?
Functionality and simplicity are at the heart of industrial-style furniture and accessories. Tall metal shelving units with open shelves, wooden tables featuring visible grain, and coffee tables in concrete or a combination of glass and metal perfectly complement the raw, urban feel of the space. Accessories such as metal-shade lamps, vintage-style wall décor, metal storage chests, and loft-style bar stools emphasise the character of the interior. Textiles are equally important – leather upholstery, linen or cotton curtains, and wool rugs in muted tones add warmth and cosiness without disrupting the minimalist aesthetic.
