Unique furniture in rustic industrial style

Until recently, the rustic industrial style wasn't even considered a style in its own right by architects. But now it's highly prized for its modest, simple and elemental air, and it's increasingly found in art galleries, cafes, clubs and private homes. It's more of a young, free and non-conformist style, which in addition to the interesting look gives a strong sense of freedom.

Rustic industrial decor can be recognized by its functional warehouse look, simple and rudimentary air. Traditional materials - brick, wood, stone, metal - are used for finishing. Spaces are spacious and open, color combinations are white, black and neutral colors. Spaces are frequently decorated with black and white or sepia photographs and abstract art.

The furnishings are simple, yet feature unique reclaimed wood and metal pieces. It's actually specific to the style - pieces of furniture made from old industrial cabinets

or combining pipes,

wheels

or other old metal items with reclaimed wood.

The style is now much appreciated and there are many who want an industrial feel at home. They can achieve it without totally transforming the house, but only by adding a few pieces of furniture or decoration. Combining the domestic and industrial look will create a very sophisticated atmosphere.

Old objects can be turned into furniture. For example, an old wooden crate can be turned into a great sofa with just a mattress and some cushions.

Or a few elements of an old pipe combined with a plank can become the wow coat hook at the entrance.

A unique, special piece with an industrial feel, made from a combination of metal and wood, can become the eye-catcher, the key element of the room.

Lighting can also make a domestic space look industrial.

All this furniture or decorative elements should be as simple and unworked as possible. Both the metal elements and the wood should leave the impression of long factory use. The wood is left in its natural color or stained in natural oak or walnut. The lacquer coating is thin and low gloss. For a more natural look, oil or wax can be used for finishing.

The rustic industrial style has a charm of its own and can be realized in small spaces, not only in those similar to industrial halls. And you don't have to break a bank to furnish either. The important thing is to have that key element, that piece of furniture that gets the message across and that you can do yourself.
