Industrial style may seem minimalist at first glance, somewhat sparse in detail and not elegant at all. It is certainly a predominantly masculine style, but with the right combination of colors, accessories, and textures, it can be easily softened and transformed into a very welcoming home, easy to maintain, and outside the patterns we are used to.
The simplest way to have a home with industrial influences is to start with the walls. Perfect finishes are not characteristic of this style. Untreated walls, whitewashed brick, concrete or natural wood are ideal for such interiors. You can also opt for wallpaper that imitates old newspapers or posters from the 60s and 70s.
Opt for unique accessories made from brass, copper, or sheet metal, but avoid overloading the rooms with them. The furniture should be vintage, but not refurbished or lacquered pieces and without complex lines.
Keep chairs simple or with iron legs for the dining table or kitchen, use a coffee table made from wooden pallets, a sofa with thin arms, or a wrought iron bed, but simple, without embellishments.
To embrace the essence of industrial style, think about factory interiors, machinery, and industrial engines. Choose colors from that palette that best suit your space.
If at first glance it seems you have to choose between the gray of concrete, the black of wrought iron and other earthy colors, don't be afraid. Warm up the atmosphere with large ornamental plants without flowers, a whitewash on unfinished walls or cheerful fabrics for sofa cushions or rugs.
In the kitchen, keep things as simple as possible, use a high table with bar stools with iron legs for example. In the office, place a small table replica of a sewing machine table. Use floor lamps designed for drafting tables and instead of a traditional lampshade, choose long-stemmed metallic shades. In the bedroom, opt for nightstands that imitate old barrels or fiset cabinets.
