What is Industrial Style and how to achieve it

Industrial style can be applied not only to the bedroom but also to other rooms in the house. You can find it in the kitchen, living room, bathroom. Are you interested in learning how to furnish your entire home in an industrial style? You will find the right article here.

The industrial style was born in New York in the 1950s, for reasons that had little to do with interior design but more to do with practical needs. At that time, old disused factories began to be salvaged for use as homes. This is how the loft fashion was born, large living spaces with very high ceilings, often consisting of a single room, separated by windows or open lofts.

From New York, the industrial style is exported to all parts of the world, where typical elements of factories are recreated in more traditional apartments. The dominant colors are primarily gray and brown, but also black and rust. The materials used are concrete, wood, metal and leather.

The walls are made of red brick, the floors are concrete, and structural elements such as pipes, beams and stairs are exposed. The lamps are made of metal or just plain bulbs and hang from the ceiling without any ornamentation.

Industrial Style bedroom: what materials to choose

Let's start by clarifying the materials to be used, starting with the walls and floors.

The typical industrial style apartments we see in TV series now, Brick wall. How can we create the same style in our bedrooms? Obviously, changing the wallpaper of the walls is an expensive and difficult process, but it can be solved with a simple and quick solution to implement: wallpaper that reproduces brick walls.

If you enjoy using your free time to DIY, applying it to the wall would be fun! Our advice is to choose a single wall, perhaps the wall where the head of the bed rests or a corner area.

Even though they are not real brick, the final effect is a quintessential industrial style.

The floors in our apartments are so different from the original structure of New York industrial lofts that they are impossible to find. concrete floors rough in homes. The effect can be recreated using grey stone tiles.

One of the main materials for an industrial style bedroom is wood. We choose furniture in raw wood, pickled, aged furniture, such as beds, dressers and nightstands.

And the lighting? A favorite of the industrial style, so simple as to be almost unguarded: green light bare and raw light bulbs hanging from the ceilingor ai raw or black painted metal chandeliers.

Industrial style beds, how to choose

We have talked about the walls, floors and furniture suitable for a bedroom in Industrial Style, but we still do not know how to choose the bed.

What does an industrial style bed look like?

• inside wrought iron, avoiding too romantic lines and preferring simple and linear ones
• covered skinespecially if it is vintage
• Year pickled and aged
• wheeled Instead of feet, remember one of the symbols of the industrial age

Furniture accessories for a perfect industrial style bedroom

If the main element of the bedroom is actually the bed and therefore deserves special attention, the other furniture accessories are also essential for the success of the room furnishings.

Let's not forget that the effect we want to achieve is industrial but at the same time stylish. For this, we will need to create an environment that is basic but full of details.

Let's definitely start with a wooden or open wardrobe to create a modest and improvised impression.

The dresser should definitely be made of walnut or light wood, as should the bedside tables. White has no place in an Industrial Style bedroom.

We must integrate the nicknamed details that are responsible for the success of the furniture into this basic furniture. In fact, it is the details that make a room lively and full of personality. A leather armchair, an old chest, an antique clock, themed photographs and prints such as reproductions of major cities. Choose what you like the most without forgetting the general style that must be in harmony.
