How to Design a Room With the Industrial Interior Design Style
What is the Industrial Interior Design Style?
If you've ever walked through a factory, workshop, or rustic building, you’ve probably witnessed the industrial interior design style! Those who design with this style believe in showing off the raw beauty of the materials used in architecture and decor, instead of covering them up with too many frills.
Industrial furniture is characterized by:
- Simple, minimalistic colors, textures, and spaces
- Crisp, clean lines and blocky shapes
- A combination of “hard” materials, like salvaged metals and reclaimed woods
One other feature of industrial design that we love is an appreciation for vintage and antique items! Trunks, luggage, and other things you can find from family heirlooms or flea markets all belong as treasured accessories in this design style.
