The industrial style in decoration

American industrial style kitchen created by Marchi group

Industrial style is everywhere and has long ceased to be exclusive for masculine environments or vintage lovers. Everything loft. self-respecting has a piece of furniture or an ad hoc decorated area, but it is also possible to use it to get a eclectic atmosphere that wastes personality and is functional.

There are already many manufacturers that carry out projects based on this style: The Marchi group company plans kitchen projects that they define as timeless and charming, designed for those who enjoy a homely atmosphere with an evocative appearance and where luxury is reserved for small details. They work mainly with whitewashed woods, metal, slate and exposed bricks; a combination of industrial look that manages to create a casual effect without losing an iota of sophistication.

If we want to prevent a room from being too cold by including several industrial elements in it, the ideal is to mix hard materials with others more "soft", such as cushions with a warm texture, a sofa in velor or velvet, wicker accessories or natural woods.

This style can also have an ecological character, since in its most creative part it is about recycle or customize old objects to give them a new use, recovering old furniture or industrial elements from factories, schools or offices; like this table formed by the wheels and the window of an old train car, or the boards of the access gate of a ship to use as a desk and shelves in an office. For the less daring, you can always choose to include metal accessories or an industrial-looking closet in the bathroom; or make the stair railing with urban-inspired railings and pipes.

Even the children's bedroom can be adapted to this type of decoration, such as this original room that seems to recreate a movie universe: A stove transformed into a bedside table, decorative panels from old clubs, a grid lamp, storage furniture taken from an office and transformed into a wardrobe and sofa ... completed by the bicycles that populate the textile print. Truly the industrial style goes a long way!
