In recent years, industrial style decor has returned to the forefront of trends thanks to its ability to combine functionality, design, and character. From brick walls to wood-and-iron furniture, this style fits perfectly in large metropolitan lofts and modern apartments alike. In this guide, you’ll learn how to bring industrial chic decor into every room of your home, with concrete examples and Mobili Fiver furniture that best express this aesthetic.
What is industrial style?
Industrial style furniture emerged in 1950s New York lofts, when old factories were converted into homes. Exposed piping, generous spaces, and sturdy furnishings became signature elements. Today, industrial style means authenticity, character, and modernity: bright spaces, raw materials like iron and wood, clean lines, and multifunctional furniture.
Main features of an industrial chic home
Industrial chic decor is instantly recognizable: a balance of authentic materials, neutral colors, and streamlined lines that recall the charm of old factories turned into lofts.
- Key materials: iron, raw wood, and concrete form the foundation of this style. Black-finished iron adds solidity and a bold touch; raw wood—such as rustic oak—warms the space and balances the austerity of metal; concrete adds that urban effect typical of industrial interiors.
- Colors: black, gray, brown, and rustic oak dominate the palette. These neutral, natural tones keep the space elegant, versatile, and easy to personalize with small decorative details.
- Streamlined lines: industrial style doesn’t go for frills. Furniture features clean, geometric shapes designed to spotlight functionality without sacrificing design.
- Mix of modern and vintage: the secret is balance. Pairing a rustic oak and black iron table with a vintage metal lamp or an old advertising poster can transform the space, making it personal and authentic.
- Functionality: every piece should have a clear purpose. No unnecessary items: the beauty of industrial style lies in its simplicity. A sideboard, for example, isn’t just storage—it’s a design feature that completes the room.
Industrial style furniture: the essentials
To recreate the atmosphere of an industrial style home, you need just a few key elements: sturdy wood-and-iron tables, linear sideboards and cabinets, light yet solid consoles, and simple TV stands. Here’s how to furnish each room.
Industrial style living room

Industrial style kitchen
The industrial style kitchen is the heart of the home: functional, convivial, and full of character. Here, authentic materials and urban details take center stage—cement-effect surfaces, warm wood elements, and pendant lighting.
Ideal tables for an industrial kitchen:
- Evolution high table: with clean lines and a top available in finishes like rustic oak or concrete, it instantly recalls loft vibes. Its height makes it perfect as a central island or snack corner paired with high stools.

Adding a high table to the kitchen brings together aesthetics and practicality: design comes to the fore and the space immediately feels more welcoming and dynamic—perfect industrial chic style.
Industrial style bedroom
The industrial style bedroom should convey simplicity and comfort. Choose beds with a straightforward design, linear wardrobes, and understated nightstands. Rustic oak is the ideal finish to warm the room, while black iron details (lamps, mirrors, handles) add character. Keep consistency with the rest of the home by repeating the same wood/metal contrasts used in the living room.
Industrial style entryway
The entryway is the home’s calling card. A simple yet impactful piece makes all the difference.
The Luxury console with black iron legs is slim and elegant—perfect as a catch-all or display surface. It instantly turns the space into an industrial chic environment.
