The term Industrial style interiors can evoke a vision of barren warehouses, uncomfortable concrete seating and exposed pipes. While exposed pipes can be a selling point in loft living, industrial inspired interiors can be a wonderful mix of utilitarian items and luxury.
Rue Magazine had pictures that prove this design point...you can live luxuriously in raw spaces that embrace metal and brick.
Industrial home furnishings can be varied. There are no fixed rules with this style, but the one common thread is the use of metals, wood in its natural state and raw materials.
If your home is not open concept, you can still create the industrial look by introducing drum metal or concrete tables, brick veneer wall covering and industrial style lighting that features exposed screws and fasteners.
I love how these industrial style interiors feel very luxe but are not precious. One hallmark of these spaces are the exposed light bulbs, or bulbs in cages. It’s amazing how bulbs have become the story. For decades we have been covering them up with shades, but now, it’s all about the interesting shapes and glow we get from our lighting.
Remember, just because we embrace seemingly harder or rough materials it doesn’t mean we can’t maintain our high level of comfort.
