Five Tips for an Industrial Interior

The trendy living style of recent times remains the industrial style. We can’t get enough of it! The industrial style gives your apartment a rugged touch and can be perfectly combined with other styles. That’s why we give you five tips to create the perfect industrial home.

Tip 1) Establish an Industrial Base

The basic elements of an interior are the floor, walls, and ceiling. To create an industrial interior, it is important that these elements reflect the character of this style. So, avoid standard wooden floors and perfectly white-painted walls; instead, opt for a concrete floor and, for example, a brick wall. This industrial base lays the right foundation for your home.

Tip 2) Choose the Right Materials and Colors

For an industrial home, particularly robust materials and dark colors are suitable. Metal (steel), leather, concrete, and wood are perfect for implementing this living style. A brick wall and untreated materials also fit ideally.

Dark colors are often ideal for an industrial interior. However, be careful that it doesn’t appear too dark and dreary. Combine dark colors, for example, with an eye-catcher in cognac or olive green – this adds warmth to your interior.

Tip 4) Complete the Look with Industrial Lighting

Industrial lighting can be found everywhere. Almost every home has an industrial pendant light above the dining table or an industrial floor lamp in the living room. These lamps appear industrial because they are usually made of metal or steel.

The most well-known variant is the factory lamp, which gets its name from looking like it came straight from a factory. The classic floor lamp in industrial style is also very popular. Here are three lamps from our webshop for inspiration:

Tip 5) Accessories and Wall Decoration

An industrial interior can quickly appear quite dark. Therefore, it is important to add some color to the accessories. This can be cushions, blankets, or a nice picture on the wall. It is important to keep it simple; otherwise, the effect of the industrial style will be lost. For example, choose ochre or green cushions on the sofa, a nice sheepskin on an armchair, or a beautiful rug on the floor.

With the right wall decoration, you can achieve a lot. You can of course choose paintings and posters, but also try something different: antlers, tools, steel accessories, or a robust wall tapestry. It may sound unusual, but even a bicycle on the wall can create a very cool effect!
