Industrial Style

Inspired by raw, unfinished elements combined with functional and utilitarian features, industrial decorating showcases muted tones, rich textures, and exposed materials like metal and wood.

Industrial decor brings in earthy, natural colours, with greens from plants, reds from exposed brick, and browns in leather and wood. Metallic finishes and rustic touches add texture, while a palette of brushed steel, cast iron, black, and grey emphasises the style’s urban feel. Solid fabrics and minimalistic furniture complete the look, creating open, functional spaces that celebrate repurposed materials and the raw beauty of warehouse-inspired design.

Industrial wallpaper

Wallpaper is a great way to introduce industrial features to a space.

Industrial Curtains

Heavy linen curtains and a striking light fitting bring some glam and softness when paired with exposed brick wallpaper.

  • Colours – Lean towards earthy, subdued shades – think charcoal, slate, brown or warm beige. 
  • Wallpapers – Wallpaper is fantastic way to introduce industrial style, with many designs such as exposed brick, concrete effects and wood panelling available to choose from. 
  • Windows – Opt for curtains in natural, heavy fabrics like linen or canvas, in neutral or muted tones or minimalist roller blinds that allow other features to take centre stage.
  • Flooring – Timber or “timber look” flooring, vinyl in a natural stone or concrete effect will establish a strong foundation.
  • Décor – Exposed pipes, metal accents, and textured surfaces are integral to the style and can work especially well in bathrooms. Adding vintage or repurposed items, such as antique furniture and vintage lighting fixtures, will give character and a sense of history.
