What is industrial style?
The key components
Inspired by warehouses and open plan factories, industrial style combines hard-working materials (like metal, wood, and concrete) with neutral tones for an unfussy, functional look.
It's a popular look that's here to stay, and for good reason: the natural colour palette and sleek furniture means it works wonders in both traditional and modern homes.
Industrial furniture
It’s all about stripped-back materials: textured woods and striking metal frames. The shaping is minimalist and streamlined, with a few distinctive details like hairpin furniture legs.

Industrial lighting

Reclaimed from another time
Look familiar? Our statement pieces look like they’ve had a previous life, including the Industrial tripod floor lamp which resembles lighting from old movie sets.
Look for filament bulbs
It's probably the easiest way into this trend. Edison-style bulbs look best if you're going for a vintage style - leave them exposed for the best effect.
