Transform Your Bedroom: Adding an Industrial Edge
Wanting a unique touch in your bedroom space? Infusing it with an industrial aesthetic might just be what’s needed for transformation.
Combining raw materials, neutral hues, and minimalist elements into an effortlessly chic aesthetic creates the ideal blend. In this blog we’ll show how to achieve an effortlessly chic industrial aesthetic in your space by adding textures and tones that make it uniquely your own space.
The Foundation: Choosing the Right Colors
Before diving in with decor items, take time to select a palette for your bedroom that can set a great foundation. An industrial aesthetic often favors darker tones like charcoal gray, muted browns and deep blue. A distressed paint finish or exposed brick can create an authentic urban vibe.
For those looking for lighter accents, pairing white or light gray walls with bold accent furniture can help balance light and dark tones to achieve a balance that feels both airy and grounded simultaneously.
Embrace Raw Materials
To achieve an industrial look, materials selection is of paramount importance. Exposed wood, metal and concrete all play an essential part. You might opt for reclaimed wood bed frames and nightstands which feature their rich textures and imperfections as part of an aged look.
Light fixtures crafted from metals like wrought iron or brushed stainless steel can add modern elements that complement rustic warmth of wood. Don’t shy away from mixing these materials either; different textures create visual interest which brings your bedroom alive.
Furniture: Vintage Meets Modern
Industrial style shines when furniture choices combine both vintage and modern elements. Pieces sourced from flea markets or thrift stores such as an old factory cart made into a coffee table or schoolhouse chairs can bring character and history into any room, while modern elements like sleek metal bed frames or minimalist nightstands create balance.
Add unique storage pieces like an industrial clothes rail or exposed hanging shelving for a unique touch that doubles as storage. Choose pieces that reflect your own personal story to achieve the ideal eclectic space.
Art and Accessories to Customize Your Space
Achieving an industrial bedroom transformation requires selecting accessories and artwork that encapsulates your individuality.
Wall art options could range from large black-and-white photos, metal sculptures or abstract prints that match your color scheme, all the way through to vintage clocks or bookshelves made from reclaimed wood paired with potted plants (think succulents in industrial containers). When accessorizing this way, your bedroom becomes uniquely you.
Softening the Industrial Edge
Industrial style features hard materials and stark contrasts, but adding textiles can soften its edge and add warmth and comfort to your bedroom. Layer your linens with soft neutral-toned bedding and throw pillows made from linen or cotton fabric.
A chunky knit throw can soften metal or wood furniture for a cozy reading nook. Add depth by including an area rug with subtle patterns or textures for additional contrast against hard surfaces.
Conclusion
By pairing raw materials with minimalist design and personal touches, your bedroom can easily take on an industrial edge that’s both stylish and cozy. The key is remaining true to your personal aesthetic while adding elements that excite and motivate you.
By considering color choices, materials choices, decor, lighting choices, etc., creating an industrial-inspired space in which to rest or be inspired is easy.
