While modern style interior designs are always classy, there’s no denying that with a little bit of mixing and matching, you can make them so much more interesting. While modern design is sleek and austere, it is best used as a canvas to make other styles shine in the foreground. Further, we’ll be taking a look at how you can add industrial undertones to a modern interior design.
1. Furnishings

Furniture is always one of the main design elements which you can use to spice up a simple ambiance. So if you want to spruce up your modern homes with an industrial edge, then going for the right furniture should always be first priority. You can opt for a combination of wood inspired pieces with grey upholstery along with sleek, four legged stools to emulate the industrial style in your modern interiors.
2. Finishes

Finishes are another important feature that need to be carefully considered while complementing modern design with industrial undertones. The vintage diner style finishes of this kitchen are an excellent way to mark the industrial edge over the simplicity of the modern design. The pastel green laminate, black backsplash and retro stools are all a great way to spice up the simple wall, floor and ceiling finishes.
3. Walls

In an interior design, walls speak louder than any other object used within the whole setting. So whenever you’re superimposing the industrial style over a simple modern look, this is the first thing that you must pay attention to. You can use paint, artwork and finishes to emulate an industrial vibe that mixes well with the modern look.
4. Door designs

Even something as trivial as a door design has a huge impact on the overall ambiance of an interior design. So instead of going for the typical wooden door leaf, you can go for the aluminum framed glass paned doors to create the perfect blend of modern and industrial styles in your interior designs.
5. Vintage chic

Retro is a theme that translates pretty well into an industrial theme. So with a backdrop of sleek, simple modernity, you can bring in a bit of vintage style with the help of some retro themed lighting to evoke an industrial style vibe.
