Follow 3 easy steps to get you started.
How To Guides
‘Industrial luxe’ combines the hallmarks of urban loft living – such as exposed brick and polished concrete – with a renewed elegance achieved by luxury fabrics and furnishings. The result is an effortless sense of modern glamour with a bold new edge.
Achieve the industrial luxe look in your home with these three easy steps.
1. Introduce a touch of brass
One way to achieve edgy yet luxurious styling is to incorporate beautiful brass or copper features contrasted against rich, dark backdrops.
Baltica or Pewter Frame overlayed on an exposed brick wall can recreate the textural depth of the industrial style, whilst something like a brass pendant light, mirror or side table can add a new layer of sophistication.
2. Add softness through colour
Unlike the traditional industrial look, its luxe counterpart invites you to experiment with colour, brightening spaces with everything from highly saturated hues to more subtle soft tones.
Infuse some vibrancy with Hancock or Powdered Gum. Alternatively, create softness with the versatile warmth of China White or the pink undertones of Clay Pipe Half.
3. Incorporate textures
Contrast the iconic concrete, brick and steel textures of the industrial style with the natural luxury of timber and stone to create a more harmonised interior.
Pull the contrasting textures together with a warm neutral like Blind Date or the grey undertones of Terrace White to really put those textures on show.
