'Organic industrial interiors' might not be a technical design term, but it should be. I think it’s the perfect marriage between hard and soft, cold and warm. Visually, think about a cool loft with exposed brick or concrete walls and filling it with natural woods juxtaposed with hard metals.
Don’t live in a funky downtown loft? No sweat. What about creating an industrial chic space in your basement or even in the garage? Another way to incorporate the style would be to have concrete kitchen counters with wood cabinets. Here are some images to help you along. I love the idea of modern hanging pendant lights in metal cages dangling over soft flowers on a wood table.
Organic touches can also mean including nubby rugs and throws on top of stark floors and placing textural woven baskets on hard counters.
Believe it or not, lamps reflect organic materials when made from wood or have shades in natural linen. A huge trend is adjustable desk lamps in aged metal or wood finishes. Notice the play between the metal locker and woven basket and belts? So fantastic and so easy to achieve.
More than anything, organic industrial interiors are playful and balanced at the same time...which is what all good design schemes should achieve.
