If one is too enthusiastic, industrial furniture design can create a cold, sterile look. The secret is to blend industrial elements with softer furnishings for a comfortable, lived-in feel.  Why not opt for light walls and pale woodwork coupled with an occasional splash of colour? It is a strong statement so one must stick to one theme. Mixing industrial accessories or elements with bold pattern is best avoided, go instead go for clean lines to complement the look.

Subtlety is key in your design. Couple industrial lighting or a reclaimed metal table, or something more substantial such as a corrugated tin ceiling or exposed steel supports, with wooden elements, such as flooring or dining chairs to provide relief. Reclaimed wood accents are ideal because they have a well-worn patina that looks and feels more tactile and welcoming.

Metals, such as zinc, iron or steel, with a painted or blackened finish, concrete, bricks and reclaimed wood, are the basis for the industrial look, and can be used anywhere from the walls, floors or worktops. Their different raw textures really work well together.  Lighting is one of the easiest ways to add industrial style - ceiling pendants or table lamps are easy to install, but always consider existing ceiling height, mouldings and architectural details. Try placing new pieces of furniture alongside existing features to update the look.
