Do you want simple, practical and functional furniture? Check out these 14 ideas in the industrial style
For those who don't fancy classic decor but prefer simplicity, the ideal choice for furnishing home spaces would be the industrial style, characterized by minimalist designs that provide more space while framing it beautifully.
This style is perfect when you want something practical, functional, and created using solid and robust materials. Often - especially if you have good DIY skills - you can turn your hand to creating this style in your home.
Curious to find out how to add an industrial touch to your home with little effort? Here are 14 ideas you can consider:
1. Decorate the walls
How can we immediately change the look of a location? The simple and immediate answer is: by decorating the walls. Just paint them or cover them with wallpaper to get the desired effect. If the desire is to have an industrial design in the home and make the space look unique, then a wallpaper like the one shown here, is ideal.
2. Furniture with geometric shapes
If the need is to store books and other various items, a shelving solution like this could be perfect. Very useful both in the bedroom and in the living room, it will furnish in a unique way, creating the impression of an industrial space.
3. Closet
Open, minimal, basic: this open-faced closet is what you need for a new style in the bedroom. The dark colors of the wood contrast perfectly with the light colors of the structure, giving a unique sensation of elegance.
4. Colorful light fittings
Lighting fixtures are also crucial to give an industrial touch to the living room (or other rooms in the house). It's well known that dark colors contrasting with metal are the best choice to achieve this style, but a bit of color never hurts either, and the above photo proves this.
5. Wake up... but in an original way
When choosing a style like this for your home, it's natural to consider reusing vintage objects. Skillfully modified and transformed, they can become something entirely different from their original form. In this case, a very unique alarm clock could add a very special touch to the bedroom.
6. And the bathroom can be done too

The main characteristic of this style is simplicity and the enhancement of open spaces, and this can also take shape in the bathroom. Choosing this style for the bathroom allows you to do so in an original and unique way: intersections of pipes and wood perfectly frame the walls, and the shades of brown, black, and gray are simply fantastic.
7. When a style becomes sophisticated
Staying in the bathroom, even small details can make a big difference. To convey a specific concept, it's not always necessary to "fill" a room with things that reflect it. The toilet paper holder, for example, is a great example if you're looking for something small to provide the feeling of the industrial style.
8. Wood and iron shelves

These selves work well in all spaces of the house and with very little. Simple and delicate, they are a winning choice that all your guests will envy.
9. Kitchen corner

If you don't have the means to fully furnish the kitchen in this style, don't worry; even a single piece of furniture can make the difference. Check out how this unit - with a light wood top, the iron frame, and the green detail of the plants - creates a stunning look.
10. Table lamps
From simple or wrought iron, sinuous and modern shapes can arise. Ideal for lamps, vases, or containers of all kinds, it's precisely these lines that allow us to create an industrial style in our home. Going completely against a classic and overly opulant style, this option allows us to fully capture the essence of a 1950s style.
11. A clock is a must
Gears in plain sight on a wooden background and an "empty" frame to complete it – there's no need to spend too many words describing the beauty and charm of this wall clock. Give it a try!
12. "Naked" light bulbs
