With its hardwearing materials and unapologetic rustic charm, Industrial design is forever a popular style choice. So today we’re going to share some of the key elements that go into making industrial chic design. And it's these features that can make designing an industrial chic living room easy or a little bit trickery. Big old-fashioned windows with thin metal frames are some of the most iconic features to industrial chic design.
Highlighting these attributes will give your industrial chic look an authentic and unique edge. Furthermore there is an abundance of choice when finding the right industrial lighting for your needs.
Also don’t forget the power of multiples when in comes to arranging industrial lighting. Lining up low hanging pendants in rows is particularly effective when trying to emulate that old-fashioned factory feel.
However one large centrepiece like an industrial pendant will add powerful ambiance to a space. Here you can be a bit more creative depending on personal look and taste.
But there are a few guidelines that industrial chic rooms tend to favor. These age-old materials boast of quality and keep with the hardwearing industrial aesthetic.
This is also another area where you could bring in more colour to the space. Like luxurious beaded or embroidered cushions to really juxtapose the no-frills aspect of industrial. However this contrast would work best in a space with lots of architectural industrial features. Rose gold finishes and delicate embellished details would also give your industrial living rooms a kick more chic! Finish off with grand velvets, silks and gold for that extra spice of chic glamour!
