Lately I’ve been really enjoying designing raw, industrial-style living spaces.
Shaped by steel, concrete, and clean lines — with a minimalist mindset and a focus on open space. There’s something grounding about this style. It’s quiet, honest, and creates room to breathe.
I’ve pulled together some of my favourite industrial design concepts and colour palettes into this lookbook. Feel free to explore, share, or save any designs that resonate with you.
Industrial Calm
Lately I’ve been drawn to big, open spaces that let raw materials speak.
This one mixes cool concrete walls and exposed ducts with warm reclaimed timber and soft daylight through steel-framed windows.
The floating black marble island grounds everything — sculptural but simple.
I kept the styling minimal: a neutral sofa on a vintage rug, a few sculptural vases, and a massive monochrome art piece that gives the space a quiet, gallery-like feel after dark.
Brutalist Colour
This one leans into Brutalism — raw concrete walls, exposed columns, and big steel-framed windows that let light pour in and shadow move across the space. It’s bold, heavy, and unapologetic.
I added contrast through plush furniture in deep mustard, teal, and rust — soft pieces that sit gently against the cold concrete.
A few abstract art pieces, sculptural lighting, and some greenery help break up the hard lines. It’s spacious, minimal, and moody — but still warm and full of character.
Light Industrial
This space plays with the same raw materials — concrete walls, exposed ducts, reclaimed wood — but with a lighter, softer palette.
Natural daylight flows through steel-framed windows and hits the white marble island at just the right angle.
The matte white pendants and soft blue tones in the rug and artwork bring a calm, balanced feel.
Minimal styling again — just a few abstract vases and clean lines. It still has that industrial edge, but the mood is quieter, brighter — more gallery than warehouse.
