The type of furniture you use in your industrial style interiors matters a lot. Going for contemporary options is not the worst thing you can do, but the true beauty of this style can be best captured by using retro and vintage style furnishings. From slated table legs to plush, comfortable leather couches, this type of furniture can be the cherry on top of your industrial style aesthetic.
3. A touch of green

While plants and fresh greens weren’t an original part of the industrial style, they have since become one of the most important components. The refreshing look of green indoor planters perfectly complements the dull-hued surroundings by providing a much-needed pop of bright color. You can place them strategically in the most prominent corners of your home for maximum impact.

The industrial style by nature features a dull, simple color scheme that consists mostly of greys. So to spice it up with some natural contrast, you can introduce various wooden accents throughout the space. These can be dull or bright, depending on what you, yourself like. You can introduce them through either your furniture or some stylish wooden accessories.
5. Multi-colored accessories
