The foundation
Poufs, armchairs, chairs, bench or stool: the seats are sufficient elements to create a factory atmosphere in an interior. And if you opt for the living room or the industrial dining room, they will bring the essential finishing touch to the decor!
The most versatile is the metal chair with a suede or aged leather seat. This essential indeed finds its place in the dining room, but it also works as an office chair.
Iconic, the steel bistro chair! We love the mottled patinated models, we love the reissues in colorful versions, which give industrial decoration a little pep. Depending on the configuration of your interior, you can adopt variations: the stool or the bistro bench. This is also the opportunity to happily mix colors. And these rather smart seats have the significant advantage of working both indoors and in garden furniture.
Perched on a tripod or firmly anchored on its plinth, displaying a sleek design or equipped with a crank: the adjustable steel stool is undoubtedly one of the essential parts of an industrial interior. Obviously acting as a seat, it is also used as a side table. This basic is available in a traditional version or in a high version, to accessorize the bar or the kitchen island.
Simple and yet effective, the raw wood stool is easier to handle than its alter ego with a steel base. Easy to install in one room or another according to your current needs, it is particularly essential in the industrial bathroom.
In the living room, but also in the bedroom or in the industrial entrance, we fall for the fabric pouf, especially when it is in raw canvas such as jute or linen. We take the opportunity to adopt a model wearing a beautiful retro print.
Small furniture and decorative accessories
In terms of small furniture, the industrial coffee table can be considered an essential. Whether it has large metal wheels or more classic, it remains cumbersome. To take care of your industrial decoration, it is therefore sometimes wise to bet on other pieces of small furniture, in particular on storage.
The ladder shelf ranks among the smartest pieces of small industrial furniture. Available in an incredible variety of formats, it allows you to make full use of every available wall, in any room of the house. And on the design side, with its look full of character, you can be sure you won’t miss it!
Canon and hyper functional, the factory service! This piece not only adds soul to the industrial kitchen: it is also extremely robust. It also serves as a console or side table in the office, in the hallway or in the living room. Short ! We could not do without!
If there is an essential part for any industrial interior, it is the glass roof! Otherwise, we hasten to adopt a variant: the glass-style mirror. Hanging on the wall, placed on a sideboard or placed on the floor, it creates a feeling of openness and immediately gives depth to the room.
Vintage or with cogs, the industrial clock is one of the decorative accessories that cannot be overlooked. To succeed, there is no question of taking half measures: adopt an XL format… or even XXL!
They are available in small or large format, in a wise version, in soft or unbridled colors, they can be stacked or slipped under a piece of furniture … Whether they are installed in the entrance, in the living room or in the children’s room, metal canteens are classics of industrial decoration that it is quite impossible to do without!
Lighting
Whatever style you adopt, lights are essential accessories for a successful decoration. And this is of course true in an industrial interior!
If you are worried about the lack of taste, you can confidently bet on the pendant in aged metal. Available in a small size – ideal for the washroom or for the hall – or in an XL version to illuminate the dining room table, this basic works every time.
The industrial desk lamp is traditionally placed … on the desk, of course! However, it can be easily diverted as an auxiliary lamp in the living room, or as a bedside lamp in the bedroom. And despite its relatively compact size, it alone is enough to breathe a factory spirit into the entire room.
The industrial wall lamp with an articulated arm can be adopted alone or in pairs. This practical luminaire fully reveals its potential in a small industrial kitchen: with it, you can choose furniture with an almost minimalist design, it takes care of giving a very successful factory character to the room.
Selecting fixtures with a neat industrial look is good. Equipping them with retro bulbs is even better! This type of bulb works perfectly on a minimalist pendant light in very small spaces such as the pantry, the WC or a micro-entry.
