What characterises industrial style?
The key inspiration for the industrial style we are increasingly seeing in bathrooms is old factory buildings. The design blends a certain rawness with an urban aesthetic.
Industrial style generally tends towards minimalism but still allows for some decorative elements, of course. An open-plan design is another characteristic of industrial style. Neutral tones and bold contrasts are preferred over vibrant colours.
Tips for your industrial-style bathroom
Tip 4: A cool black & grey colour scheme
Create contrasts by combining dark black and bright white. Shades of grey will add extra depth to your industrial bathroom. Your colour scheme can also include natural brown shades or light pink, but bright colours are best avoided. Combine a black industrial-style washstand with a chrome tap to add the finishing touch to your design.
Tip 5: Cosy touches with decorative features & plants
Decorative features are essential even in an industrial-style bathroom – provided they coordinate with the rest of the design. A carefully chosen vase is the perfect way to bring plants into the bathroom and offset the coldness of the industrial style. Soft bathroom textiles will create a cosy feel and should harmonise with the colour scheme.
Tip
The loft character of the industrial style works particularly well in spacious bathrooms with large windows and high ceilings. But small bathrooms can be given an industrial look too. In this case, it is even more important to use the elements typical of this style.
