TIP No. 1 ENTRUST TO A PROFESSIONAL

Very often, when you opt for a change regarding home furnishings, you are never prepared enough. Precisely for this reason, the first piece of advice we share with you is to rely on a professional. Thanks to his/her unique knowledge in the furnishing field, s/he will style your home by recommending you the best elements to be evenly distributed in the available space.

The professional will then deal with the design and development of interior spaces, driven by the desire to create the perfect experience for the people who will live the space he designed.

TIP No. 2 ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Mind the details! They make the difference (and you know it well).

Furnishing a home in an industrial chic style means paying close attention to the characteristics of this mood. The Industrial chic style can surprise you only if you will be able to distribute the pieces of furniture in the most appropriate way, in relation to the room that hosts them. Enhance the industrial characteristics of your spaces!

If you chose to furnish your home in an industrial style, try choosing walls with exposed bricks enriched with unique components according to this style. Abstract paintings, corten steel lamps or large clocks can certainly make the difference. Precisely to make the environment unique, look for recycled objects: if placed inside a bedroom or living room, these items will define the style of the environment by giving them new shape. Remember then: industrial style lighting, large chandeliers, steel chairs and stools, will give your spaces the style you desire.

TIP No. 3 WOOD AND METAL FOR YOUR KITCHEN

As for living room or bedroom furniture, the kitchen requires small industrial chic details too! There are many tricks to furnish your kitchen, one of these is to use a contrast between wood and metal, which is typical of American lofts. Very often, industrial chic kitchens are characterized by wooden furniture in natural or lacquered colours. The key element to give a strong impact to your environment will be the extractor hood: try opting for a metallic solution with squared lines, the industrial effect will be guaranteed! Another piece of advice is to choose design lamps to be suspended at different heights. They will recall the hood’s metal which, being characterized by cold colours and squared sections too, will give your room the desired effect.

TIP 4 BEDROOM: ACCESSORIES MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Whether in the kitchen or in the living room, the difference is made by the furnishings. As far as the bedroom is concerned, accessories will make the environment unique. Usually bedrooms are characterized by light walls colour and furnishings in sober shapes and colours. Give your bedroom an industrial twist by creating contrasts within the environment using paintings and floor mirrors. Even in this space, the lighting and furnishings will be essential. Bedside lamps, chandeliers, metal elements such as coat racks and bedside tables, will be a MUST to furnish your bedroom in an industrial chic style! One last tip: if you have the chance to renew doors and windows, corten will be the ideal material. Thanks to its typical rusty colour that perfectly matches steel or concrete elements, you will be able to combine the aesthetic also with burglar-proof or soundproofing possibilities. The corten steel not only is very beautiful to look at (for those who love these styles), but it also gives you a particular sensation to the touch, perfect for evoking the origins of this style in 1950s US.
