That this is an overused style there is no doubt:\nwe have seen it everywhere, but what does industrial furniture really mean?<\/p>\n\n
From celebrity homes to restaurants to hotels,\nwhere the stars are salvaged objects, vintage furniture, pieces of\nmachinery resting on the floor as if they had no place, inside\nugly rooms that, as if by magic, become beautiful.<\/p>\n\n
Also certainly facilitating the entry of the industrial style into our imagination was the tendency to save money, influenced by the seesawing economic crisis of recent decades.<\/p>\n\n
And so you recycle, you reuse, and what is old is\nrepaired and is called vintage.<\/p>\n\n
Almost as if there was a desire to return to something from\nthe past, which speaks to us of authenticity, and historical legacy: so here is a guide\nto really know what industrial style is<\/p>\n\n
ORIGIN<\/h4>\n\n
The furniture\nindustrial originated in the 1950s in New York City<\/strong> with the rehabilitation and reuse of\ndisused spaces that were previously used to house offices,\nindustries, and business centers.<\/p>\n\n Since then, thousands of old\nwarehouses and storerooms have been reclaimed and used as homes<\/strong>,\nclaiming the beauty of factories.<\/p>\n\n It then came to fame thanks to American films and TV series set in these spaces, and, moreover, thanks to the emergence of Pop Art headed by Andy Warhol<\/strong> and his Factory.<\/p>\n\n The industrial style slowly established itself in the metropolises\nand then conquered even the smallest locales.<\/p>\n\n In fact, today, with the trend of avoiding further\nland use and with the consequent reclamation of space, the\nindustrial-style apartments are increasing significantly.<\/p>\n\n Industrial style starts with the choice of living space\n: lofts, open spaces<\/strong>\nare the most suitable, as, having large and airy rooms with few\npartitions, they perfectly imitate real industrial spaces.<\/p>\n\n In fact, it is characterized by a particular design, based on sober, essential and clear lines.<\/strong> In fact, in this way the furniture is functional, absolutely basic, and made of durable materials.<\/p>\n\n In addition, they have a robust simplicity and grunge appeal<\/strong> that allows them\nto be placed in any setting, from the living room to the kitchen, from the bathroom to the\nbedroom, in a very original way.<\/p>\n\n And this is precisely why designing and furnishing in\nindustrial style is not an easy task.<\/p>\n\n In fact, it is necessary to choose the right space,\ndesign and furnish it without lapsing into monotony, to avoid the risk\nof making cold and many unwelcoming environments.<\/p>\n\n This requires open but not dispersive spaces<\/strong>, choosing raw but\nwarm materials, and essential but balanced furniture.<\/p>\n\n Industrial furniture is increasingly popular thanks\nto its characteristics: it is modern, dynamic and at the same time whimsical.<\/p>\n\n An industrial environment is an open space in which, given the absence of internal partitions presents the exposed load-bearing structure.<\/p>\n\n In fact, it often consists of reinforced concrete pillars, or, even more frequently, cast iron columns.<\/p>\n\n In fact, the rooms are usually very high and often double height<\/strong>, with the presence of mezzanines, which are accessed through iron stairs and in which we find study areas, offices, and sleeping areas.<\/p>\n\n If we are on the top floor of a building, the\nroofing slab will have exposed beams<\/strong>, made of\nwood or steel, the installations will be clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n In fact, the quintessential industrial style wants\nducts and pipes not hidden but in plain sight.<\/p>\n\n The floors are made with an industrial resin or polished concrete<\/strong>, so there are no joints and\ngive an additional feeling of continuity.<\/p>\n\n Perimeter walls\nare left unfinished<\/strong>, with light-colored plaster in shades of white, cream,\ntaupe, or with salvaged exposed brick. Then again, a true industrial\nspace almost always features a wall with rough bricks or finished\nwith a coat of paint. <\/p>\n\n In addition, the windows are very large<\/strong>, just to give brightness and air to the rooms. In fact, aluminum window frames often have a quadrangular scan with alternating fixed and opening parts.<\/p>\n\n Ferrous metals are clearly the most popular, but to\navoid making rooms cold, wood and copper are also very\nsuitable.<\/p>\n\n The finishing touch in a loft is provided by the furniture.<\/p>\n\n In this case, more than any other, choosing the right pieces\nfor furniture represents the most difficult task. With just a few elements, in fact, you will have to connote the room according to the\nchosen style.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n And industrial style is made up of essential pieces,\nsalvage, vintage objects and furniture with clean lines.<\/p>\n\n In fact, industrial style does not hide, it shows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Beams, pipes, bricks, you name it. Moreover, if you have chosen this style in any room of the house, you must then keep in mind all these structural aspects that any other style would have tried to hide. <\/p>\n\n Even the furniture escapes the perfection of mass-produced furniture\nand lets the light highlight its welds and imperfections\nof paint.<\/p>\n\n The living area<\/strong> is often composed of an open kitchen<\/a> with peninsula and work surfaces on which machinery and systems are clearly visible. In addition, the table consists of a salvaged wooden platform with stylized and essential chairs.<\/p>\n\n Instead, the living room<\/strong> presents sofas with soft leather shapes perhaps placed around a cast iron stove, a typical element of the industrial style.<\/p>\n\n The sleeping area<\/strong> tries to become more welcoming with the use of rugs, bed linen, fabrics with soft and warm colors. In addition, to give the room a properly industrial feel, it is appropriate to opt for concrete, porcelain stoneware or untreated raw wood surfaces.<\/p>\n\n A kitchen<\/strong> in\nindustrial style is characterized by the use of natural materials, such as\nwood and stone, which give the idea of lived-in.<\/p>\n\n The style is essentially understated, clean and rigorous, with\nrough finishes, reminiscent of those of old factories of the past.<\/p>\n\n Finally, the service rooms<\/strong> have the same shape as the classic ones, with an extra touch of concrete and glass in the choice of materials.<\/p>\n\n True industrial style wants the furnishings, often\nsalvaged, such as old clocks, cabinets, iron elements of machinery,\nto be placed on the floor, as if they were temporary, without a real\nproper location.<\/p>\n\n If there is one color<\/strong>\nthat should never be missing from your industrial-style home, it is gray<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n In fact, furniture or lamps made of metal materials recall\nindustrial decor, but even fabrics for the sofa or bed can\nfulfill this function, if in gray.<\/p>\n\n This color can also be combined with beige, white and\nblack. If you want to bring in some contrasting color, you can always do so with\na piece of furniture outside the dominant color scheme. <\/p>\n\n The \u2018industrial style involves choosing a few essential pieces<\/strong>, if possible from\nsalvage, such as vintage items found in all\nantique markets around the world.<\/p>\n\n Since the whole concept revolving around the\nindustrial style is the redevelopment of the ugly to make it beautiful, without hiding or\nrenovating, but rather showing the potential of the buildings that house\nhomes, there is almost always a tendency to show \u201cwhat\u2019s underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n So beams, pipes, bricks, are almost always exposed.<\/p>\n\n So, yes to sturdy furniture with clean geometries and charm\ngrunge, rustic colors that create continuity between walls and floors.<\/p>\n\n Finally, leather armchairs and sofas, wooden and metal chairs, ceiling and neon lamps<\/a>, coffee tables made from unused pallets<\/a> and put back together.<\/p>\n\n Light<\/strong> is very\nimportant in this type of style because it can lighten the atmosphere,\nsince elements such as metal furniture can be visually heavy.<\/p>\n\n The provision of natural light<\/strong>, filtered by large windows and glass windows with some\nfixtures as aesthetically simple as possible, is essential.<\/p>\n\n In fact, giving the right light to large rooms is very\ndifficult, it is necessary to bring to life a lighting design commensurate\nwith the activities that will take place there.<\/p>\n\n Finally, you can look for bulky, large lamps that bring direct light into the room and maintain the industrial spirit of 1950s New York lofts.<\/p>\n\n In fact, floor lamps and spotlights will alternate with those\nhanging lamps whose wires should be clearly visible to recall to\nperfection the conformation of a factory.<\/p>\n\n Industrial style coexists with any other\ndecoration, and this is precisely one of its main advantages.<\/p>\n\n In fact, if you have a marble fireplace in a living room this will not clash with exposed brick, metal coffee table and industrial lamps.<\/p>\n\n On the contrary, this anachronistic touch will achieve a very special\neffect in the living room, bringing sense of warmth and coziness.<\/p>\n\n As we have just seen, industrial style is very much in\nvogue lately, especially among the younger generation.<\/p>\n\n This is due, on the one hand, to the great influence that\ncelebrities or prominent people have living in such environments and,\nfurthermore, to TV series set in 1950s New York, where, indeed,\nthis style has its birthplace.<\/p>\n\n This is a very particular style, it is well suited to\nany kind of design combination by setting few conditions, such as\nexample: large spaces, mostly metallic colors and not to hide beams,\npartitions, etc.<\/p>\n\n By following the advice in this article, you will easily be in\na position to decorate your home following the basic principles of this style.\nIn any case, the advice is not to overdo it; the industrial style does not need\ngaudy colors or too much furniture elements.<\/p>\n\n So, unleash your imagination and furnish your home as\nyou have always dreamed!<\/p>\n\n If you liked the article leave a comment<\/strong> with your considerations about it!
