Industrial-style décor places minimalistic design and hygge style before the unconcealed architectural backdrop of warehouse and factory settings. You’ll find backgrounds with large, open floor spaces and high ceilings that may include wood or metal beams and hanging light fixtures, concrete or worn wood floors, and exposed brick walls, plumbing pipes, and HVAC ducts.

For an industrial-style look to compliment this backdrop, choose comfortable furniture with simple square or rectangular block shapes and group it to break up the surrounding space. Combine stones like marble for counter- and table-tops, woods, and a variety of metals like copper, aluminum, iron, and steel. Use pendant lighting or multi-directional floor lamps to provide lighting. Select utilitarian upholstery fabrics, and, overall, maintain a neutral color palette of black, gray, and white.

Browse antique shops and reclamation yards for furniture, lighting, and unique accessories that recall the industrial period. Use accessories and artwork to introduce color, softer textures, and curved lines to soften, brighten, and add personal touches to the cool, hard-edge, masculine feel of this décor style.
