Industrial Decor

Minimal, recycled, functional and cool are some key words when thinking about the popular industrial style. This bare bones approach to decorating your home is gaining momentum and is seen everywhere from big city apartments to country homes. If this practical and simple style is something you want to try, pay attention to three main areas.

Color  

Industrial style is all about cool colors and materials. Homedit recommends sticking to cool, natural shades of browns and grays and colder metals like aluminum and iron such as this wrought iron chandelier. To keep your color scheme from becoming depressing, however, add in some pops of color like blue, green or purple to keep with the cool palette.

Space

As the term industrial alludes to, the style is reminiscent of warehouses, factories and other large open work spaces. Keep your home as spacious as possible with an open floor plan and minimal clutter, to best embody this open feel. Use only practical items with clean lines to keep your place simple. Minimizing clutter in your home not only fits with the industrial style, but also offers a calming an stress-less environment.    

Decor

Just because this style is more minimalist, doesn’t mean you can’t have decoration. Make sure it is simple and natural; use raw material such as unfinished wood, exposed pipes and brick. It’s a great way to add texture and interest to your home. Re-purposed items such as old milk bottles, crates and even cinder blocks make elegant and cohesive industrial decor.
