Trend | Industrial Influence

The trend for the industrial-look interiors has been going strong for the last few years, and certainly shows no sign of disappearing any time soon!

Industrial style is all about proudly displaying the construction materials that would usually be concealed. Raw materials, metallic fixtures, muted colours, and contemporary furnishings are the elements that can create the industrial look in your home.

To achieve this look in your home, make the most of any existing elements such as metal, brick, concrete and wood. Concrete floors, visible beams or exposed brick help to achieve the warehouse feel associated with Industrial style.

In some homes this may be easier said than done – perhaps you own a modern apartment with all new finishes. With the right furnishings you can create the feel of an Industrial space. There are incredible wallpapers we can show you that imitate natural materials and finishes such as bricks or wooden planks.

When it comes to your fixtures and fittings think antique bronze, black or brushed nickel to add to the industrial style. You can incorporate rustic metal or timber shelving paired with sleek, modern furniture to keep the space feeling contemporary.

Don’t be afraid to mix materials. Pair a wooden table with metal chairs. Or add a statement piece to prevent the scheme from looking too flat – perhaps a splash of colour? Add some stylish soft furnishings to compliment the hard edges – after all you want to feel comfortable and relaxed in your space.
