1. Building systems show openly:

How did the industrial style come about in the interior?

In old factory buildings and smaller factories, the electrical and water pipes and air conditioning systems were mostly used exposed. Since these rooms had to fulfill purely functional tasks, people did not have to hide these structural elements. While the sewer and plumbing layout in a modern home would not be a good idea, you can still draw inspiration from these elements. For example, you can incorporate eye-catching cables and pipes in your kitchen or create a table with legs made of galvanized pipe. Open shelving and storage space also play a big role in creating that industrial feel that you bring to your own home.

2. Weathered wood is in demand in industrial style

HOil-free furnishings and floors, which are still seen in most industrial buildings, wear marks from overuse and the harsh environment. This look, now recreated in your home, evokes a feeling of nostalgia. You can buy old wooden furnishings at your local flea market. Old wooden floorboards also pair well with paneled walls, and old doors and window frames can be turned into new bed headboards, interesting wall hangings, tables, and real art pieces. All you need is a little creativity.

3. Industrial style – exposing brick walls

Which elements are typical of the industrial style?

Maybe this is that most eye-catching industrial element that you can add to give your home the style you want. While it is a great idea to expose some or all of the brick walls at home, that is no longer or not always well recognized as an architectural design practice in modern homes these days. However, this shouldn’t prevent you from using stones in your interior. It is best used to frame the entrance to the house or the fireplace.

4. Concrete, concrete and even more concrete….

In aIn mills, workshops and factories, it was widespread to use concrete for the structure and flooring. Because of its longevity, strength and affordability, concrete played a large role in the period of industrial advancement in the 19th century. A stained concrete floor brings a terrible feeling to your four walls, but if you don’t want this material for your flooring, use simple home accessories like flower pots, buckets or tables made of concrete.

4. Industrial style lighting fixtures

Do you remember the industrial pendant lights that illuminated the old factory buildings? Their porcelain and cast aluminum lampshades looked wonderful. So there is absolutely no reason not to display these in your home again. Today there are thousands of modern lamp designs that mimic the look of the lights from years gone by in industrial spaces. Simply choose a large pendant lamp that fits your budget and taste and hang it in the hallway, above the entrance area or above the dining table in the living room to create the feeling of walking through an industrial area. That’s romantic, isn’t it?
