Born in large industrial warehouses transformed into residential lofts, the industrial style to decorate a room in a loft style (แต่ง ห้อง สไตล์ loft which is the term in Thai)also dictates the relevance of large spaces, the integration of environments, and multifunctionality in all forms. To complete, it is a style that adapts with great versatility to any room in the house, from the living room to the kitchen.
An Urban And Current Style
The industrial style in the decoration of houses and their environments is urban and current. He has proved to be one of the most attractive in recent years and does not seem to show any signs of reversing anytime soon. The style was born in New York, in the United States, between the 1950s and 1970s, when there was a tendency to transform industrial warehouses into residential lofts, reflecting the dynamism and urban deprivation that characterized the new times.
The industrial warehouses inspire the industrial style decoration to emphasize space and spatiality. The spaciousness is very welcome, with the walls giving way to integrated and often multifunctional environments. Thus, spaces such as the living room, dining room, and kitchen can be intimately connected, allowing the interaction of people and more free circulation. Likewise, the optimization of spaces allows, for example, the living room to function as a bedroom at night.
Another striking feature derived from its origin in the aesthetics of construction is that the walls are unfinished or with a rustic finish, usually in brick, cement, or concrete, also used on the floors. However, all this unfinished and roughness must be balanced with delicate elements such as natural materials (wood) and soft fabrics (cotton and wool).
The industrial aesthetic also highlights the exposure of pipes, pipes, beams, and exposed wires, which give a modern atmosphere to the environments. But it is always good to harmonize the weight of metals and structures insight with relaxed accessories and vibrant colors. The wide doors and windows are other elements that frequently appear in an industrial-style house. It is worth mentioning that the versatility of the sliding doors is perfect in this type of decoration, and the large glass and metal windows provide plenty of natural light.
In terms of artificial lighting, the stars of the industrial style in the decoration are the lamps’ insight, exposed wires, and the pendant lamps or wires. Metals, especially copper, are also a good figure in lighting structures.
The sober and raw appearance of industrial decoration is emphasized by a neutral and earthy color palette, predominantly black, gray, and brown, but touches of color can – and even should – appear here and there in accessories and furniture. Speaking of furniture, the industrial goes very well with vintage and rustic styles. Thus, articles made at home, references to the past, demolition wood, leather, and recycled furniture can easily share the space with simple design furniture. It is also worth mixing with straight lines and without excess, with metallic furniture and urban art (graffiti and posters).
It is also worth remembering that the industrial style can be incorporated into the house without making structural changes. For example, use contemporary painting that imitate brick or cement, install lamps and metal furniture, make more rustic finishes, use punctuated neutral colors for vibrant colours, and abuse accessories that have to do with style.
