Sleek, sexy and sophisticated, the industrial style is one of the pioneering aesthetics of the twenty-first century. It boasts an incredible charisma along with some bold personality choices that are introduced with the help of expert accessorizing. The art of decorating industrial chic spaces is a formidable task, so today we’ll be sharing a few tips on how you can do so in a winsome fashion! Let’s take a look;
1. Light fixtures

Since industrial style interiors are dull by design, lighting plays an especially important role in how they come off as in the end. Therefore, finding the right light fixtures always has to be the first priority – they need to provide good illumination and be stylistic at he same time. Track lights, simple pendent lights and exposed pipe wiring connections are a good way to go about it.
2. Make simple charming

Since the industrial chic style is partially inspired by the simple nature of modernism, it also has to reflect the plainness and straightforward nature of that aspect. In such cases, the accessorizing needs to complement the overall ambiance just as well. You need to use few but impactful pieces of décor that are going to make a great impression while merging with the simplicity of the backdrop.
3. Furniture

Industrial style furniture always has a vintage appeal, which is part of its charm. However, if you start going for just the old-school pieces, your spaces can end up looking too retro. So, merging in a few modern or contemporary furniture pieces in the mix is also recommended. The combination of sleek vs. rustic is definitely contrasting yet complementary at the same time.
4. Artwork and frames

As far as artwork and other types of wall art is concerned, you need to be very specific about them. The industrial style artwork is reminiscent of the machine age posters that depict the derelict art forms and posters found in abandoned warehouses. On the other hand, metallic accents are also a welcome addition as a centerpiece.
5. Exposed brick

It wouldn’t be industrial style accessorizing if there weren’t exposed brick accents within the décor. While concrete and wood may make up a majority of the industrial style material palettes, adding exposed brick in the mix is an absolute must as well!
