Combination of eras

One of the easiest ways to apply industrial style is to bring a little history into the interior, that is, the acquisition of antique furniture, leather chairs, metal beds and wooden chests of drawers. The use of old, but updated or restored things is a key feature of the industrial style, so do not be afraid to use interior items from other areas of the house in the design of bedrooms, changing their purpose, purchasing them at sales.

Use neon lights or street signboards to create a frivolous look in an industrial setting. Paint your walls a dark color, such as charcoal or navy blue, to make neon lights look good.

In order for a loft-style bedroom, for example, with a fragment of a wall with brickwork or a Crittall-style window, to look more comfortable, it is necessary to use fabrics in the form of upholstery of chairs, rugs, bedding and curtains. This will make the room more comfortable..
Bare walls

It may be a cliché that an industrial style must be accompanied by an unplastered brick wall, but it is. Many are even ready to strip off the plaster for this, although this is not necessary. You can simply use ready-made panels that are installed on the wall. It’s a quick and easy way to industrialize your designs..
Polished concrete surface

Perhaps concrete is not the first material that comes to mind to be used in the decor of the bedroom, and even more so when decorating the floor. But the polished surface of the concrete floor is perfect for the industrial style. Do not be afraid that it may be too cold, as concrete can be placed on top of the heating system. In summer, the coolness of the concrete floor will be more than appropriate. In addition to the floor, concrete can be used to make a base for a floor lamp or bedside tables.
Cunning

Inclined surfaces

Very often in a reconstructed building, rooms have non-standard shapes of walls and ceilings, which dictate the use of an industrial style, including cast-iron radiators and windows without curtains. The room should suggest which decor you need to choose, and what ideas to implement in order to achieve perfection.

If the apartment has such a feature as a floor made of wooden planks, do not cover it with a carpet, so you can emphasize the industrial style with it, especially if the decor of the room is made in neutral colors, with the exception of some elements.
a men’s bedroom in a loft style will look especially interesting and original, for example, a bachelor den from the Kiev studio MARTINarchitects.
