The industrial furniture style is one of the most spectacular and at the same time most difficult types of furniture to make. We have prepared a guide to help you implement this solution yourself.
Industrial style: characteristics
The industrial design style took the interior design world by storm as renovations of old warehouses, manufacturing warehouses, and even barns began. It is known for the degree of functionality it offers, minimalism and lack of pretension.
Industrial style furnishings mean exposed rustic finishes, structural elements and lighting fixtures. This style has a special charm that leaves a strong impression in the space where it is used. Subsequently we will discover how to integrate the industrial style into the furnishings of the house and of each individual room.
«Incomplete» architectural model.
Unpolished walls, rusty iron bars, old supports, factory floors, concrete, all these are specific features of the industrial style. If we take into account all these specifics, the industrial style could be called masculine, but if we talk about the association of the right colors, accessories and textures, it can easily be changed and transformed into a comfortable and welcoming space.
Dark color palette
The color palette that you can apply in an industrial style environment is quite restrictive. Use shades of dark brown, dark gray, white, black and gold or bronze. To bring the industrial style to your home, leave the pipes exposed, the bricks exposed, add used leather elements, old chairs or copper plumbing fixtures. If you want to warm up the space, add fluffy rugs and different textures to make the space feel cozier. The key is for the specific elements of an industrial style to appear rough.
Vintage furniture: yes or no?
An industrial style in your home requires vintage furniture with steel elements, simple chairs with iron legs and coffee tables made from wooden pallets. Generous space is mandatory in an industrial style environment, so you can place a large sofa covered in black or brown leather. For the bedroom, choose a simple bed with a wrought iron canopy.
Since the industrial style made its appearance in interior design, the number of furniture manufacturers responding to this market need has also increased, so you are spoiled for choice.
Industrial style: recommended finishes
Exposed bricks and rough natural stone easily find their place in industrial style home furnishings. It is based on types of materials that are as natural or raw as possible. The Deco Brick apparent brick suggests durability and stability and, for you to enjoy such a spectacular finish, the apparent brick has undergone a very high temperature manufacturing process.

How we set up every room in industrial style
Industrial style of living: with realization
If you are dealing with the arrangement of a living room in an industrial style, the simplest and fastest solution is to create the impression of an unfinished look with the help of a wall or wallpaper that imitates the apparent brick or even this element. For the floor, to enjoy comfort, choose a laminate parquet that imitates concrete or wood.
Choose lighting fixtures that combine elements such as tubes with elements such as ropes or chains. The furniture in an industrial style setup must be simple, linear, without ornaments, in neutral shades of gray or brown.
One of the most important features of an industrial style living room is open space. You need a space that is as large and airy as possible, with concrete or brick walls and as large windows as possible. Living room furniture should be simple, useful and comfortable, with geometric surfaces, smooth surfaces and neutral finishes. An open-plan living room also offers you the possibility of setting up a bar, so choose ingenious combinations of metal and wood. The chairs should be upholstered in dark colored leather to give the home an elegant look. For added effect, choose abstract murals to create an accent wall.
How to furnish an industrial style bedroom
As I said before, it is advisable that the central part of the bedroom (the bed) has metal bars. Or opt for a bed on a wooden frame with a rough look and choose neutral shades.
To store different objects, choose a chest in lacquered wood and iron elements. The lamp on the bedside table next to the bed can be typical of industrial design, with metal elements. PS: The armrest can be adjusted for those evenings when you want to read before bed
Choose a monochromatic carpet, without a print, in a contrasting shade with that of the floor. In general, an industrial style bedroom is defined by flat surfaces and minimal accessories.
Add bold color accents, such as decorative pillows, soft bedding, specialty accessories or lighting fixtures. It also includes decorative accessories specific to the industrial style, such as an original mirror or an extraordinary painting.
Industrial style in the bathroom
When designing the bathroom you don’t have much freedom to play. You can bet on elements made of wood, brick, steel, aluminium, copper, iron or concrete. The industrial style bathroom means as many practical elements as possible, urban and non-conformist art, even if vintage or rustic elements can be added. For furniture, choose pieces in combinations of iron and wood. The sink can be made of stainless steel, the walls in exposed brick and the floor in concrete or tiles that imitate concrete. If you want some life in your decor, add an artificial plant.
If you want a shower tray made of a special material, choose one made of natural stone that matches the color palette you have applied. On PIATRAONLINE you can find a complete range of showers from which you can choose. Check for yourself which one suits you.
Industrial style kitchen: how to arrange it?
An industrial-style kitchen means open or glass-door cabinetry, shelves with metal tubes attached to the wall and hanging grills. You need to make sure you have enough light in the kitchen, so don’t skimp when it comes to lighting sources. It also includes bar stools in the furnishings, a wall-mounted desk to make the shopping list and alternates wood with leather upholstery. Provide the room with as much natural light as possible and avoid elaborate decorations.
The industrial design style is based on an incomplete architectural model, with unpolished walls, cables, wires, old supports. If you know how to alternate the elements, you will be able to get the decoration you want.
