Industrial Chic

This year is all about creating a balance of styles within your home interior and a stylish combination of modern and classic interior design is sure to compliment any room of the home. INDUSTRIAL CHIC interiors bring together rustic and rugged classic items and accessories with chic colour palettes and soft furnishings that will create a visual masterpiece in any home. This variation between traditional and elegant finishes is sure to create a designer feel within your chosen room.

Colour schemes within this interior design can range from natural and neutral to soft and colourful. If you wish to create a space that is light yet cosy then stick to muted colour palettes such as soft beige, cream and taupe that will compliment both modern and traditional rooms. For a more illuminating finish then you can select a range of off white and grey colour palettes with simple striped or geometric wallpaper that will create visual detail on a central feature wall. If you wish to add emphasis more on the ‘chic’ than the industrial then opt for an elegant pastel colour palette featuring soft dusky tones and pastel hues such as pink, peach, mint and blue that will look wonderful with a small patterned wallpaper with copper and rose gold accents.

Combining a variety of natural and rugged fabrics and soft and feminine fabrics are a great way of creating the perfect industrial chic style in your home. Simple beige linen curtains will look great with metallic copper or brass curtain poles and tie backs and can be teamed with co-ordinating linen upholstered sofas and chairs. Add a scattering of pastel coloured cushions or metallic patterned cushions that will add a hint of glamour to your industrial space. Include metal accessories such as copper caged ceiling lights, pipe effect wall lights and brass lamp bases that can be balanced with some crisp white or pastel shades. Include copper kitchen accessories, wire magazine racks, letter holders and candle holders that will look great scattered around the room.

Industrial furniture is hot on trend for this season and will look great in a wide variety of interior settings. Update a bedroom, hallway, office or living room with an industrial bookshelf or display cabinet that features smoked wood and exposed metal elements that will look great against chic and elegant colour palettes. A large industrial TV cabinet will take pride of place in any living room interior and will compliment a plain or patterned feature wall to create a focal point within your interior space. Smoked oak furniture will also compliment an industrial inspired interior design and will create a more chic and cosy ambiance that works particularly well in living room and bedroom interiors. Grey painted furniture provides a more soft and refined industrial design that will look great with some copper or brass effect handles for a more rustic finishing touch.
