An industrial style living room becomes the highlight of the room, as it offers a striking design to the most frequented room in the house. And don't think that your space will look cold and uncomfortable - combining the right elements transforms the rusticity of the industrial style into a very cozy and promising living room environment.
Get to know the industrial style
The industrial style emerged in the last century in New York, when buildings that used to house large industries started to be used as homes. And what used to be a reason to be hidden in the interior decoration, with the industrial style started to be valued: apparent structure, integrated rooms, rustic floors and ceilings, among other elements that you will get to know below.
7 tips for creating an industrial-style room loaded with personality
The following elements are a true trademark of the industrial style, and can be placed sparingly or sparingly in your living room design. Check them out!
The irresistible brick
Whether painted in your favorite color, in its natural form, or with coatings that imitate this aesthetic, exposed brick is one of the most illustrious elements of the industrial style.
The rudimentary beauty of burnt cement
There was a time in Brazil when many houses used burnt cement dyed red as the main covering of the house, especially in simple homes or properties near the countryside. Nowadays, the raw version of cement has become increasingly trendy, but requires more delicate maintenance to ensure its durability. The technique can also be used in the painting ofwalls or ceiling.
The charm of conduits and rails
Good lighting is primordial for rooms of any style, but in the industrial one, keeping exposed rails and exposed conduits is a differential. Exposed pipes and other iron structures also guarantee the rudimentary charm that the design provides.
The perfect marriage between wood and metal
Mixing textures and elements is a striking feature of the industrial style, and the wood and metal added to the decoration makes everything even more stylish: if on one side you have the coldness of an iron frame to structure glass, on the other there is the presence of wood to make the room cozier.

Not everyone likes the idea of adopting burnt cement in the decoration, precisely because its maintenance is not the easiest. But this element can be very well replaced by the presence of gray in the color palette: it can be in a porcelain tile that imitates burnt cement, a wall with a sober and cozy tone, or even in the fabric of a cozy sofa.
The sophistication of leather
Leather is responsible for adding a certain refinement to industrial decoration, besides the indispensable comfort, of course. It can be present in an armchair, in a stool seat, or even on the sofa - the main attraction of the room.
Adding Colors and Textures
If you like to dare, don't be afraid to add a color on one of the walls, or as a highlight on the sofa - colors are very welcome in the industrial style. But if your preference is to go light, add that touch of cheerfulness by adding warm colored pictures, plants (whether natural or not), pillows, and blankets.
The industrial style has many characteristics, but it is not necessary to include all of them in your project at once. You can add only nuances of this aesthetic, create counterpoints between industrial, modern or contemporary, or jump into the style without fear: all the choices will be more than perfect.
