“Industrial” Interior Design: A Rugged Yet Sophisticated Theme Inspired by Old New York

Industrial interior design draws inspiration from industrial architecture with the use of rough textures and an overall unfinished unpolished look. Materials are the defining factor in this style. Dark metals and raw materials such as brick, concrete, and wood are staples. There is a sophisticated masculinity to this design, with overall dark tones and sharp edges.

The “Burgess” 8-Light Linear Chandelier in “Durango” by Savoy House is the perfect example of industrial style. The exposed cords dangle in various heights, adding interest and character. Tubular style bulbs reinforce the industrial style as well as provide an abundant source of light. The weathered wood gives this light a rustic charm and adds natural texture that contrasts the smooth black hardware. More commonly used over kitchen islands or dining room tables, the fixtures measures to be 42" long. However, this light can be used in living rooms or any area that can accommodate its size. The “Burgess” collection from Savoy House also includes three, four, and six light vanity options. For more than five decades, family owned Savoy House has created stunning quality lighting solutions that are envied and sought after. The Savoy House website has an extensive selection of lighting products for any style or budget.

York Wallcovering’s “The Market” wallpaper in black screams industrial with its architectural blueprint design and dark background. As an added plus, this wallpaper is washable, meaning it is easy to clean and durable. It comes pre-pasted, so there is no need for extra adhesive. York is the largest and oldest wallpaper producer in the United States, dating back to 1895. They are known for innovative designs, authentic style, and high quality products.

Overall, this design brings in different textures along with warm and cool neutrals cohesively and creates a sophisticated industrial atmosphere. Key elements of this style include natural colors, exposed materials, and clean lines.
