Industrial home decor is functional, minimalist, and celebrates the raw materials used. Metals, glass, concrete, wood, natural and distressed finishes, and exposed walls and beams are all mainstays of this style. Stick to neutral colours in a cool or warm palette of your choosing, and avoid patterns. If you love function and a mix of modern and vintage, you will love the industrial decor style.
1. Leave windows bare, or use roller shades. Alternatively, select solid curtains in neutral colours like grey, black, white, or brown.
2. Choose a long, low-profile sofa in a neutral colour, like this sofa-cum-bed. You can also go for a very simple and functional single mattress on the floor, like a divan. Use a neutral coloured cover and long, rectangular cushions or pillows.
3. This very hipster brick decal is perfect if you want the beauty of an exposed brick wall without the hassle.
4. Avoid rugs. If you want, get a flat (low pile) rectangular rug in a neutral colour. A jute carpet works well too.
5. If the walls in your home are old, or the sinks have a patina, embrace this! If everything looks too new and shiny, make it look distressed with chalk paint.
Incorporate metal in your furniture wherever possible. Go for black or silver finishes, or copper for a bit more warmth. Gold and brass finishes look less raw and more modern, so use them carefully.

17. Metal shelves like the IKEA LERBERG Shelf Unit are a mainstay of industrial decor style. For a water-resistant shelving unit that is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, go for the IKEA HYLLIS Shelving Unit. And for damp indoor areas like bathrooms, get the IKEA MULIG Shelving Unit
18. The sleek and minimalistic IKEA MICKE Desk comes with a single, spacious draw and an outlet to keep sockets and cables out of sight but close at hand. You can mount the legs to the right or left, according to your space or preference.

23. Some soft, knit throw blankets, pouffes and cushions will balance out all that metal and make things cosier. Once again, go for neutral colours or a consistent accent colour. Blues and greens are popular accent colours for a cool palette, and reds work well with a warm palette.
