Our Industrial Interior Design Guide

Industrial interior design celebrates the raw beauty of materials like metal, wood, and concrete. Those blend with functional elements to create modern yet timeless spaces. With its roots in converted warehouses and urban lofts, industrial interior design is bold, simple, and practical; it’s one of our favorite themes. The Julie Muscato Home & Gifts interior designers can help bring this design style to life in your home.

Key Elements of Interior Decor for Industrial Design

These are three key elements of industrial interior design:

• Select materials and textures that highlight natural elements to create an industrial interior design. This aesthetic is characterized by exposed brick walls, unfinished wood surfaces, and visible metal pipes or beams. 
• The furniture and decor should complement the raw materials in the room. To tie the look together, we recommend pieces made from reclaimed wood, metal frames, or leather upholstery. For instance, a wooden coffee table with metal legs or a steel-framed bookshelf can anchor a living room and reinforce the industrial theme.
• Lighting also plays a significant role here. Pendant lights with exposed bulbs, metal shades, or vintage designs all work well; large windows with minimal coverings allow natural light to highlight the textures and finishes.
  

Window Treatments for Industrial Design

Look for custom window coverings emphasizing simplicity and functionality, like Hunter Douglas roller shades or metal blinds. Both control light and privacy while maintaining a streamlined appearance.

For a softer touch, consider installing neutral-colored drapery made from natural fabrics like linen or canvas. Those materials add subtle texture without distracting from the industrial vibe. We suggest metal curtain rods and hardware to enhance the look further.

Shutters with a faux wood or matte finish are another excellent choice for industrial spaces. Those aesthetics align with a structured, minimalist feel.

Final Touches for Industrial Interior Design

And now, the fun part: Decorative accents will bring your industrial space to life. Look for items with distressed finishes or vintage appeal, like antique clocks, wire baskets, or metal sculptures. They add personality and reinforce the industrial theme without overwhelming the room.

• Woven or textured rugs in neutral tones will ground the room and add warmth. Avoid busy patterns, which can clash with the simplicity of industrial interiors.
• Large-scale artwork, like abstract paintings or black-and-white photography, complements this theme well.
• Display collections, books, or family photographs in metal or wood frames to add personal touches to the industrial theme.
