If you love urban atmospheres and gritty design, furnishing in industrial style is definitely the best way to create a home that reflects your personality! Living in a New York loft is everyone's dream, even if it's not for everyone. Yet it really takes very little to recreate the charm of this fantastic style at home.
A bit of history first of all: how did this trend originate? Industrial style was born in the United States in the first half of the last century with the idea of recovering old warehouses and industrial complexes, to create artistic studios or to transform them into real homes.
Therefore, furnishing your home in industrial style means above all wanting to recreate these "regenerated", rough and contrasting atmospheres. A gritty, characterful and creative style that requires respect for a few simple rules to achieve a stunning result. Here are some features that will surely convince you to adopt it in your home too.
It's an authentic style, without too many frills: as previously written, industrial furniture derives from practicality, and it is precisely this characteristic that makes it so attractive to many. It is simple and does not try to be anything else.
Industrial furniture is versatile: being a minimalist style, it coordinates very well with a variety of other furnishings and is also suitable for both a rural home and an urban apartment. It is therefore not limited to certain rooms in the house, but is particularly suitable for kitchens, bedrooms, dining rooms and living areas. It is also a style that can be easily adapted depending on how "industrial" you want your home to be: some cushions and other decorative objects, combined with industrial chairs, can easily soften things if you don't want the look to be too austere.
We could say it's completely ecological: industrial furniture has ecological aspects, as the wood and metal used to make it are often recovered. In addition, due to its robust nature, it is built to last over time and therefore, unlike less sturdy furniture, it is less likely to end up in a landfill in 10 years.
No matter if you spill something: finally, there is a significant advantage: if objects such as furniture suffer occasional bumps or scratches, as invariably happens, this will only add character to the piece, rather than diminish it, making it unique in its kind. An example is industrial wooden tables.
Remember some fundamental principles of this style: there are no rigid rules, however, in this list there are some key elements to consider: it is an eclectic style, embrace it, express yourself and be sure to combine a variety of elements within a room; try to maintain a palette of neutral colors: beige, dove gray, ivory, black, gray and shades of white for walls, floors and ceilings; find a balanced mix of metal and wood; rustic and reclaimed wood always works!; it is a robust style, so raw and unfinished materials, fixtures and accessories are perfect; to respect the more orthodox interpretation of this style, exposed bricks or ceiling beams are always winners; use warm colors on objects such as rugs and cushions if you are looking for a lighter industrial look.
