What Industrial style is

Industrial style takes its cues from factories and lofts: exposed metal, raw or reclaimed wood, leather, concrete, and lighting made of pipe and cage. It is a strong look that works best in rooms with some scale and hard surfaces, and it is a natural fit for home offices and open-plan living areas.

Colors and materials

Palette: Charcoal, black, rust, cognac leather, and raw wood over white, grey, or brick walls.

Materials: Black steel and iron, reclaimed or live-edge wood, leather, concrete and cement-look finishes, Edison bulbs, and wire mesh.

The 5 pieces that make the look

1. A cognac leather sofa or chair
2. A wood-and-steel desk or dining table
3. Pipe or cage pendant lights with Edison bulbs
4. A metal bookshelf or pipe shelving
5. A distressed or geometric rug in dark tones

Tick these in the Must include list when you design and the shopping list is built around them, with Amazon listings for each, priced to your budget.

Mistakes to avoid

• Everything black and hard — the room gets cold. Leather, wood, and a wool rug are not optional.
• Over-themed accessories (gears, fake factory signs). Let the materials do it.
• Dim lighting. Edison bulbs are warm but weak; add a floor lamp and task light.

What it costs on Amazon

Mid-range because leather and steel cost more: $1,200–$2,800 for a living room, $700–$1,400 for a home office.
