Looking for the best industrial bathroom decor ideas and trends this year? If you’re doing a full-room makeover, that will make our tips all the more useful.
Located mainly in urban cities like New York, Chicago, and Detroit, these factory-inspired interiors started appearing in homes beyond the city walls.
A decor trend that was once relegated to high-ceiling city lofts and apartments has now been incorporated into quiet homes in the country and smaller sized city dwellings across the United States. Most people like to go with a clean and simple decorating aesthetic so that you can focus on what needs to be done in the room and get out fast. Most people don’t like hanging around in their bathroom – unless they’re going to take a relaxing bath of course!
In that case, we can help you create an industrial style home spa, too. Our hope is that this post will help you create the perfect mood board for your industrial bathroom reno project!
I’ll give you an overview of the major industrial style bathroom design ideas below. Industrial furniture is often inspired by heavy machinery and factory designs. Many industrial bathrooms have at least one element of rustic wood. This helps to warm up these spaces which often appear quite cold and uninviting.
This room is filled with great industrial bathroom decor ideas, actually! Well, gray is probably the one color you will find most often.
Beyond gray, you can also find touches of white, black, and brown in industrial home decor. If you’re looking for some examples of industrial bathroom furniture, then you’re in luck because we’ve rounded up a few pieces that we feel really exemplify the industrial vibe. Exposed pipes, ducts, tubes, and wires are commonly found in industrial style bathrooms. Black ceilings are a bold design choice that works very well in an industrial bathroom.
You can almost always find lots of matte black fixtures in an industrial bathroom. Since industrial design is often found in lofts and warehouses which were constructed from brick buildings, it makes sense that we would want to see the “bones” of these homes! A red brick wall brings out the room’s history and celebrates its past. A sliding metal door is one of the coolest industrial bathroom decor ideas we found.
This is such a unique way to show industrial style and will instantly give your bathroom street cred! Stainless steel is a popular material to use for many elements in an industrial bathroom.
A simple shelf has been built into the wall for easy storage. These are inexpensive ways to decorate your bathroom and give it an industrial look. Here you can see an electrical box, and different shades of concrete on the wall. A very common element of industrial interior designs are the exposed hanging light bulbs which dangle down somewhat randomly. This type of lighting is probably best for homes without children. A rustic wooden stool sits nearby holding shower gels, shampoo, and conditioner.
A sage green bath towel is draped over one edge of the tub. They are very heavy so you’ll probably need help installing one! You can also decorate with concrete shower walls in your industrial bathroom, as seen here. Simple gray bath towels are the perfect choice for your industrial bathroom linens. Here, a concrete sink has been installed on black metal legs, which hold the bath towels below. Don’t be fooled, it’s still industrial at heart with its brick walls and black metal elements!
This one has studs lining its frame, giving it a factory look. When it comes to industrial storage ideas, these black metal baskets with cotton liners are perfect for organizing your bathroom accessories like soap and toilet paper.
The double bathroom vanity is a common need for couples living together.
Even if you don’t live inside a big city loft, the industrial bathroom look is certainly acheivable!
