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
Hi Darren, love this style! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and images :-) Helen
