The industrial interior design is cooler than the Beckham family. It’s laid-back, yet edgy spirit has seduced an ever-increasing number of fans and advocates throughout the world. Every decorating style has a story to tell, and industrial home interior design bares it all to reveal function, structure, and aesthetics in a cohesive whole. So today, let’s guide you through some tips for this type of layout which you can try during your next bedroom, living room, or kitchen makeover.

1. Embrace Structure & Function

If you’re ready to take your decorative style for a ride on the cool side, you’re going to want to start by exposing it all. Exposed architecture and fixtures are one of the most emblematic traits of industrial interior design. Where other styles seek to hide it all behind walls and moldings, industrial interior design embraces the structure and elevates it in such a way that function becomes a true element of beauty. You don’t have to renovate your home to make this style your own.

Not all of us are lucky enough to score an old chocolate factory to call home and have weathered bricks to decorate our walls. Happily, with today’s modern technology, a simple faux brick wallpaper will do the trick to bring the old factory charm home.

Bringing the structure and engineering magic front and center is a signature feature of the interior industrial design. Highlighting the beauty of simple everyday items, like lightbulbs, and reinventing this product to showcase its simple magic.

2. Gray Is Best

It doesn’t have to be gray, but it is definitely a favorite when it comes to urban interiors. The quiet cool it reflects sits well amid the weathered wood, stainless steel and vintage accents that are common in industrial interior design.

3. Weathered Wood, Stainless Steel And Vintage Pieces

When you successfully combine these three elements, the inevitable result is raw beauty. The mixture of materials and objects that embrace function, as well as aesthetics, is perhaps what has seduced millions into this decorative style.
