For many people the concept of industrial decor does not sound familiar or does not look appealing. They find it unusual, rough and maybe strange. However, industry-inspired interiors are seen more and more often in contemporary design. It is especially attractive to young and creative people. The style is mostly used in loft apartments and allows unique design solutions.

We will give a quick review of the elements and basic features of industrial decor as they are used widely in modern home design. The style is often described as “unfinished” as it uses raw materials and very rough surfaces which are ideal for mens bedroom ideas. It showcases everything related to industry and manufacturing and strongly reminds of old warehouse or factory. The materials that are mostly preferred are steel, concrete, metal and wood. One of the main features of the loft style is the exposure of materials. For example, if you have a brick wall, you can show it by painting the bricks in a neutral color. Just one wall in industrial style will make the decor of the room more natural, without losing the feeling of comfort.

The most important thing in the loft style is to understand that you do not have to do too much to achieve it. You may simply add some details to achieve the appearance of industrial decor. You can change the windows with ones made of pipes, for example, it would be a very creative and effective lofty addition. Concrete is a popular choice. Although it seems cold, it can be very attractive if you combine it with colored textures, mats or cushions. Dark shades of furniture can create a modern industrial style interior. Black and gray furniture and decorative elements work very well. Distressed wood, leather, cabinets on wheels, machine parts for accents, old lanterns – all these are suitable materials, furniture and accessories.

  • metal furniture and construction: beams, columns, railings, fittings;
