Designing a industrial living room

A industrial living room blends the industrial look — raw + architectural, old brick, blackened steel, concrete — with layouts and details that suit a living room. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.

Industrial living room palette

Let masonry and concrete establish the palette. Repeat charcoal in a few structural lines, then add timber, leather and wool where the body touches the room.

Color roles

Lime mortar

A pale mineral neutral that links repaired brick, plaster and concrete.

Aged brick

Use the existing masonry as a focal field rather than repeating rust red on every object.

Blackened steel

Frames openings, shelving and furniture with a quiet structural line.

Reclaimed timber

Adds grain and warmth through tables, benches and cabinet fronts.

Worn leather

A restrained cognac accent that develops real patina through use.
