Industrial style, in essence, can also be said to be a kind of retroism, except that the ‘ancient’ it is retrofitted with is not a long time ago that is out of reach.
In the dimension of time, it traces back to the industrial era, which also embodies hardcore industrial characteristics, such as brick walls, metal pipes, concrete walls, etc., have been transformed into a unique form of aesthetics.
This aesthetic form, completely different from the exquisite of other styles, is unadorned, showing a rough and real state, and through the creation of scenarios, it is as if one is in a factory in the old days.
Industrial style is not all rough and cold, but in the collision with other styles, there are more forms of interpretation and expression. Many shops will take the industrial style as the base and incorporate delicate and light elements to express a brand new theme. For example, under the main colours of black, white and grey, add some distinctive colours as embellishments, such as red, brown, blue, green and original wood colours, as a way to break the dullness of the space.
In terms of soft furnishings, based on a series of industrial elements such as metal, pipes, gears, etc., mix and match more retro elements such as tungsten light bulbs, wooden tables and chairs, art ornaments, etc., to add a sense of age and storytelling to the space. When the hard industrial style collides with retro artistry, it can calm the cold industrial atmosphere and make the overall style more colourful.
Metal is a common element in industrial style spaces, and elements such as iron frames, galvanised steel wallpaper, and black iron piping fixtures are all capable of creating the coldness and functionality of industrial style.
The materials, colours and elements, which appear to be separate modules, all point to a common feature - nakedness.
Unpainted walls, unadorned colours, and raw metal surfaces, which might be hidden in other design styles, are not hidden in industrial style spaces. This kind of fearless real exposure, invariably also let the space open up, in which the user, the state of mind also changed.
