Industrial style home decor

Last updated on May 5th, 2024 at 02:07 pm

What is your idea of an industrial style home? To me, I think of steal hallway tables and wooden boxes turned into coffee tables or foyer benches. Whatever, it means to you it’s a style that is becoming more and more popular with modern designs. There are no longer rules of sticking to one style within a room. You can find shabby chic with industrial touches or modern sleek styles with added industrial lightings. In this generation anything goes together, you just have to find your own style and what it means to you. 

I love the idea of upcycling and creating home decor that was once something else useful in the past. The industrial lights hanging in kitchen and bathrooms all over the country are my absolute favorite look. I love the look of light rooms with darker furniture like this steel hallway console table below. This entire look would go perfectly in my house if I had a bigger hallway. It really gives that rustic vibe but still ties in nicely with the classy decor around it. Industrial style home decor

I love glass vases that you can display candles and your favorite ornaments in. The lightbulb in these below give it that industrial flare and the candles create a great ambience for a living room coffee table or side table. I even love bringing a little green and putting miniature plants in these. Green, grays, whites, blacks all tie into the industrial theme. Terrariums are really popular too. I think they fit perfectly in with an industrial style home. The copper ones are on my Christmas wish-list. I can’t wait to incorporate them into my home style.

I have so many ideas for my next home. When the kids are all grown up and an industrial style isn’t as breakable to tiny hands and feet. This kitchen below is dreamy to me. I love how plant life spring the shelves to life and your eyes are immediately drawn to the lighting hanging above. It not only provides storage but a display for all your guests to admire. Everything is in reach to while you are cooking away on the stove or washing up. Industrial style home decor

I love wallpaper that makes a statement on a wall. There are so many options out there to match your theme of your room. Keeping with an industrial style I would choose a lighter color wallpaper but one with geometric patterns like these two above from Graham & Brown Flock Wallpaper range. Industrial furniture is dark and I wouldn’t want to make a room even darker by going with dark wallpaper. These keep that light shining throughout but tie in the patterns with the sharp edges of the industrial furniture. Graham & Brown Flock Wallpaper Industrial style

  1. I love this style Jenny. It looks great, you have great taste. I always love seeing your pics at home on Instagram and how beautiful you keep your home, balanced with your YouTube video about the reality of it behind the cameras. Great post xxx #sharewithme

    • Thanks hun, I love a good mix of various styles. Soft tones with industrial touches is a favorite of mine at the moment. Oh thanks glad you like them and follow me on instagram that’s lovely. Oh yes I like my youtube to be the reality of our life and parenting. haha

  2. What a beautiful style! When you first said industrial style, I pictured everything clean cut & shiny. I love the photos you have where there’s a combination of industrial with soft tones & flowers. Lovely Pinterest board! #sharewithme x

  3. Alas, I dont think this is the style for me. My first husband was a bodger and use to love bringing odd bits and pieces into the house to use as furniture, so I think I had a glut of industrial style furniture before it was on trend. Great post though (and I do love those glass vases). #Sharewithme

    • Haha can totally understand that one. It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. The glass vases are lovely touches for a coffee table. Sometimes we have industrial style already in our home and just don’t know it? Doesn’t have to be all upcycled or steel furniture. lol

      Reply
    • Oh yes me too, I love upcycled items in a home. So trendy and corky at the same time and recycling saving the environment one step at a time. lol Love a good mixed style in a home.

  4. I love this style put don’t really feel it would fit into our home despite the fashion being for a mix of styles. We did however, recently replace our light and I choose a more metalic lamp something I wouldn’t normally go for and I love it! #sharewithme

    • It’s hard if it doesn’t fit the actual house style. I have that problem in our new build with certain styles. I know what you mean. Oh metallic lamp sounds lovely.

  5. I love Industrail, if I had my way we would live in a huge old factory and I would have pieces like all these, but mixed in between would be other styles, as I think it works.
    I love this idea of being set a theme to talk about, brilliant xx

  6. I love it all. As the children get older i am really trying to focus on home decor but don’t replay have the ‘eye’ or skills to make it look fab at the moment. Ideas like this are always great to look at for me so I can hopefully make the house look good, eventually 🙂

  8. Love the candles in the glass vase idea. So simple but yet it looks so nice – thanks for the suggestion. As for wallpaper, I love the look but always nervous to take the plunge. Bad memories of stripping wallpaper in the kitchen from before 🙂 #sharewithme

  9. Oh I love home decor posts, I just can’t ever translate them into real life!
    The industrial look isn’t really for me, but I am loving the flowers in the first picture. I’d love to have more flowers in my home 🙂

    • Pinterest is helpful but I am the same I know how I want my house to look but getting it to look like it is very hard unless you have the eye for it. I can put moodboards together like nobody but applying it I am still learning. I keep killing my flowers unfortunately. Boo but trying to keep a few in the kitchen window.

  10. I love this style, particularly surrounded by an overall modern theme. I love interior posts! Thanks for the inspiration – I’m already mentally decorating our new house – which we haven’t even bought yet! #sharewithme

  11. That kitchen is so lovely, I love that design too… because I love plants and I do have a lot in my kitchen windowsill. Lovely collection of the industrial look decors. Thanks for sharing! #sharewithme

  12. You and I think alike. I too dream of how my next home would look once the break everything, climb up everything phase of my daughter’s life is over. And I love these modern takes on industrial looks. Though there are sleek lines and finishes, your choices still have a sense of warmth to them! Thanks for sharing, Jenny and for hosting us on #sharewithme! Hope you’re having a great week.

    • I love the shelves and white tiles but I am the same be a long while before I get the kitchen of my dreams too or the house for that matter. While the kids are young they just ruin and break things quickly hahaha

  13. I really like elements of this style although it’s not something that we have in our home at the moment. I can’t wait until we move and I can start decorating and hopefully I’ll move away from the IKEA filled house we live in at the moment!

    Reply
    • Oh don’t worry Ikea is amazing too. My house is absolutely filled with it. But I know what you mean I can’t wait until the kids are a little older too and get nicer things.

    • I love that each house you can start with a new style. I am dying to change my current one but it’s a new build so this style doesn’t always work. I have to have a more mixed style in our house at the moment.

  14. Ooh I LOVE posts/pintrest boards about home decor. I’m constantly pinning to my “dream house” board lol. Linking up for the first time on #sharewithme 🙂

    Reply
    • It’s easy to get drawn in and obsessed isn’t it? I can spend hours on pinterest every night. It’s time consuming but dreamy. Thanks for linking up. Hope you enjoy the blog hop and to see you again soon.

  15. I’m not usually a fan of industrial style, it just wouldn’t fit in our house. But I love those candle holders and the kitchen with all the hanging pieces – I’d love that in our house but we haven’t the wall space.

    Reply
    • I know I have the same problem no wall space what so ever. I would love wooden shelves and the glass vases are great aren’t they? Sometimes even just the wallpaper is enough of a mix of style to help bring in geometric shapes.

  16. I think you, like me, find beauty in all different kinds of interiors. It is probably a good thing I am not a millionaire, as there is a a danger I would spend all my time redecorating as frequently as I change mood… and that would just be too much! Lovely post.

    Reply
    • hahaha I completely agree. My hubby is always telling me stop changing room decor like I do my wardrobe hahaha I love constantly having change and something different. I would need five houses and decorate them all in various styles. How fun would that be?

  17. I love industrial. I’m in the middle of decorating our house as it’s being completely remodelled. I love the kitchen idea with the plants, brings a great blast out outside freshness #sharewithme

    Reply
    • Plants really do bring so much freshness to a room. I just wish mine wouldn’t keep dying on me. lol I love a mixture of industrial and soft touches in between to warm it up.

      Reply
  18. I’m loving the kitchen ideas. I’m also all for this mix and match idea. One constant style throughout an entire room or property can be a bit dull. Look forward to future design ideas you publish in the months to come. As ever, thanks for hosting #sharewithme

  19. I love looking at other people’s houses and seeing their ideas. The thing with living in a manse is that you never know what you’re going to get. At the moment, it’s a three bed detached, but next time?! Who knows!
