Industrial chic

Industrial chic is a popular decorating style which is being interpreted as an eclectic mix for both residential and commercial interiors









The style of Industrial chic can include:


  •  exposed brickwork
  •  pipes or structural elements on display
  •  bold graphics
  •  large format text or numbers
  •  furniture made from factory items & recycled materials
  •  industrial style over sized light fittings






This style is often a result of using items in a new way [re purpose] or making a feature of something which traditionally was a machinery component or salvaged from an industrial process

Using items of this nature high lights the natural 'patina' and makes a feature of the wear & tear from years of usage 

The combination of using 're purpose' materials and industrial items creates a look that is 'edgy with a hint of nostalga'








Industrial chic has an urban appearance  which is enhanced with accessories and details and the pairing of industrial materials together with recycled timber usually softens the look and adds warmth
