Industrial design is one of those home styles that require you to be brave. It is not common, it displays the building materials which many homeowners try their best to conceal. It is also about adding unfinished and raw design elements to add a different kind of style.

Industrial design is a growing trend. It showcases utilitarian stuff, neutral tones, wooden and metal surfaces. What you achieve at the end of the day is a warehouse look that fuses an industrial feel with some earthy, polished elements.

Don’t get the idea that industrial design is just for unfinished spaces. Many design enthusiasts, these days, even incorporate industrial design to their upscale habitats by showcasing metal light fixtures, stainless steel surface, and vintage-looking furniture pieces. McCreery’s Home Furnishings offers excellent, thoughtfully-designed industrial pieces – http://www.mccreerys.com/itembrowser.aspx?action=attributes&ItemType=Furniture&event=reset&wcsearch=INDUSTRIAL.

Industrial Design Signature Elements

One of the leading signature elements of industrial design are exposed ducts and pipes. Warehouse apartments became quite popular in the past few years that many homeowners followed suit. Even former factories and other industrial spaces have been converted to residences.

Another element of industrial design is wood and its usual partner – metallic surfaces. It’s a small wonder that neutrals and earth tones are the most common color options for such homes. You can find an abundance of metal on staircases, ceilings and windows. Note also the wooden panels on ceilings.

Industrial design also means you have to draw some inspiration from anything that’s unconventional. Mix different rules and looks of interior design. This means it’s normal to find Boho or Mid-Century modern elements inside an industrial modern home.

Check out also the furnishings meant for rugged steam punk or contemporary chic styles. If these don’t tickle your fancy, then pick rustic colors to play safe. Select the color palette that connects your furniture, rugs, lighting and accents.

If your industrial home happens to have brick walls – whether painted or unpainted – cement flooring or wood, then you have practically achieved half of the look that’s required for this style. Rustic elements in industrial design feature a lot of beiges and browns. Remember that your chairs, sofas, tables and accessories would likely be made of raw wood and leather.

Burnt orange is also a typical color.

Industrial furniture pieces rely heavily on unfinished wood, so, if you’re planning on investing in a dining table, end table or a coffee table, it is best to find those made of raw wood. This should help you achieve that genuine industrial look. While the tables can be made of wood, you can also make use of exposed steel legs and such features.

Another trend that’s gaining popularity lately is reinforced concrete in industrial homes. This looks amazing even on furnishings. Just imagine how a concrete table would make your patio come to life.

Industrial chairs and sofas generally have a leather finish. The materials might be similar but the styles of each are unique. You can choose a traditional-looking piece or opt for the low-profile look offered by modern pieces.

If you happen to not like leather, then you can also choose from among the upholstered chairs and sofas. Find tufted seats that are lined with steel nailheads.

Industrial design also uses a lot of rugs. Just shy away from rugs that are too abstract or vibrant; lattices and chevron patterns would also look awkward inside an industrial setting. Instead of these elements, pick something that’s generally dark or faded such as burnt orange, blue, gray or crimson. See also if you could get your hands on a distressed Oriental rug which is also a traditional and ethnic element that’s associated with both Southwestern and industrial designs.
