INDUSTRIAL

The industrial style of living is reminiscent of old (factory) buildings or lofts. Construction details such as steel beams, concrete or brick are characteristic details in these types of design schemes. Robust and aged materials give this interior a sturdy touch.

Furniture is made of coarse woods and leathers, combined with greyish fabrics that provide a little softness. Accessories are often vintage objects - think of large industrial or factory lamps. The floors are often plain and subtle.

In contemporary homes, an industrial atmosphere can be created by floors and walls in a concrete look or photo wallpaper of concrete or brick.

The industrial colour palette is sober. White, black and all shades of grey in between. As an accent, a primary colour such as yellow or red is often added.
