Interior decoration - the industrial style.
Do you dream of transforming your interior into a loft? Here are some tips to adopt the industrial style at home!
Break down the silos of your living spaces
Inspired by the New York lofts installed in the former Brooklyn factories, the industrial style is based on large open volumes, without doors or partitions. By opening the kitchen to the living room, you will get this impression of space, which also promotes the circulation of light. However, if you want a separation to avoid odors and noise, opt for the essential glass roof, symbol of the industrial style.
Opt for sturdy materials and functional furniture
Inspired by old factories, this style of decoration adopts robust materials, able to withstand time, such as raw wood, zinc or steel. Some fundamental elements of the "factory" spirit: the brick walls, the waxed concrete floor or raw parquet, the metal frames or the wooden beams.
For storage, choose large, solid, no-frills furniture (metal cabinets) or wooden crates. On the kitchen side, a large family table, inspired by old workbenches, will have its effect. Finally, for the living room, opt for a leather sofa and a wooden coffee table, practical and vintage.
Harmonize colors
Generally in shades of black, brown or metallic gray, the colors of the industrial style tend to evolve, and we see some colorful accessories to brighten up the whole. For example, a colored chair or lamp to illuminate the room.
Take care of the light
The last essential element of the industrial style: metal suspensions, preferably black or gray metal. Used by two or three, you can place them in your living room or above the kitchen worktop.
