Classic furnishings for an industrial style (1)

The industrial style is particularly suited to spacious interiors. Urban lofts or large country houses will be perfect spaces to create an industrial atmosphere in your home. The industrial style , consisting of raw and often dark furniture and objects, requires a bright spot to avoid ending up in a very dark interior setup, even in broad daylight.

Large spaces are also necessary because the industrial furniture is often bulky . Strong pieces such as a shelf, a leather sofa or a large workshop-style dining table will be able to express their full potential.

For an industrial-inspired kitchen, choose black kitchen furniture, or one combining raw wood and matte black metal. Around the kitchen island which turns into a dining area at lunch or dinner time, have workshop chairs or Tolix seats.

For household appliances, choose stainless steel . Ditto for small household appliances (coffee maker, toaster, food processor, etc.): stainless steel, metallic or black coating will be perfect for creating harmony in the room.

69. The industrial chamber

The industrial chamber (1)

The industrial style is suitable for a master bedroom as well as a teenager’s bedroom. However, we should avoid adopting this style for a child’s room. At the head of the bed, you can opt for a brick wall or a wallpaper in gray tones, with an urban design. A leather or pallet-style headboard with integrated storage is also suitable.

Install industrial wall lights as a bedside lamp. A wired metal table or a small metal storage cabinet can serve as a bedside table. Facing the bed or the window, also install an industrial mirror (glass or door way) to increase the brightness of the room.

70. The industrial bathroom

Often small, the bathrooms can however be decorated in an industrial style, provided that the right fittings are made. Use white subway tiling walls so as not to darken the room.

Ethnic rugs (1)

Carpets are also making their appearance in industrial interiors. No need for animal skin, we can be satisfied with a fabric rug.

79. The walls

The walls (1)

For an industrial-style interior, you can start by dropping paint or other wall coverings in favor of the raw wall. We can thus take advantage of a brick, stone or simply concrete wall. If it has defects, the authentic appearance will only be more pronounced. If you don’t like the walls in your interior, you will find wallpapers depicting a brick wall, for example. There is now a whole range of industrial style wallpapers available.

The walls1 (1)

We will also play on the number of walls. An open space will allow you to enjoy more light, in addition to giving the appearance of a loft. You can also choose to install a canopy, which is an industrial style staple.

80. Authentic style

Authentic style (1)

As the raw materials that make up the walls will be preserved in a visible way, a good idea is to do the same for the floor and the ceiling. Thus, we will appreciate a waxed concrete floor or a raw wood parquet. We thus make the most of a so-called “factory” style.

Likewise, if your ceiling has wooden beams or exposed metal frames, the ideal is not to try to hide them, but, on the contrary, to try to highlight them. There was a time when people hid them at all costs, so you can try to free them from their prison.

81. The materials and colors of the industrial style

The materials and colors of the industrial style (1)

For an industrial style living room, the materials chosen must give an impression of robustness. We will therefore opt for wood, but also zinc, steel and leather. In terms of colors, as we mentioned earlier, this is not where the industrial style is characterized. As greater importance is given to materials, it is the colors of these that will predominate.

The materials and colors of the industrial style1 (1)

The colors used for industrial fairs therefore mainly revolve around black, brown, metallic gray, brick red or copper tones.

82. Functional and mottled furniture

Functional and mottled furniture (1)

Why not let yourself be seduced by a metal cabinet in which to store your belongings. Choose large, simple, unadorned furniture that is as imposing as the room allows. For example, you can install a large leather sofa, a wide armchair in which to sit comfortably, a wooden coffee table, a metal lamp, etc. The main thing is to choose furniture that has a somewhat vintage style and which resist time.

Functional and mottled furniture1 (1)

Do not hesitate to go to flea markets to find vintage pieces that will be the most beautiful effect in your interior. You can also integrate handicrafts from here or elsewhere, raw elements as taken from an artist’s workshop.

83. The light

The light (1)

To create an industrial atmosphere, we do not ignore lighting. They will make it possible to take care of the lighting. Indeed, we can therefore opt for metal suspensions, possibly associated with wood. Installed in the living room, you can choose to multiply them. Thus, we can accumulate two or three without problems.

The light1 (1)

84. Mistakes not to make

Mistakes not to make (1)

When you set up your industrial living room, for a successful result, be careful not to buy everything new. As this style favors recycling, it is preferable to have an element which is a nod to the authentic industrial style in your interior.

Mistakes not to make1 (1)

It could very well be something that you have found: a piece of furniture, but also a poster, etc. We are not going to lie to each other, in the trade, you will now find pieces that already seem to have a past. The important thing is that your objects create the illusion of having had a life before, in a factory.

85. A recuperative kitchen

A recuperative kitchen (1)

For a 100% authentic industrial kitchen, do not hesitate to bet on recycling ! For example, you can find old wooden furniture and add metal handles to it, salvage old chairs from a garage sale or buy old faucets dating from the 1950s in a flea market.
