There’s something comfortable and charming about an industrial look that I am completely drawn to.
The relaxed feel of the raw, edgy, and strong elements gives everything a lived in and no fuss atmosphere that I find so appealing.
The look includes a lot of metal and wood, but in today’s designs, these elements are tempered with modern comforts.
Below are some stunning industrial living room ideas and designs to inspire your next upgrade.
1. Retro Industrial
I just love the energy in this stunning living room! It brings back all the dynamic vibes from the past. The bold and creative retro styling is the perfect partner for those strong, functional industrial designs.
You have the steel trusses, brick walls, and metal railing creating a backdrop for a patterned rug, bucket seats, and cool wall art. What a combo!
2. Down to Basics
This space is just grand and luxurious. It’s like the stripped-down version of a massive industrial building, and I am here for it. The exposed brick walls are cleaned up to show off that natural, bright red tone.
I adore that the clean concrete floors are left bare. The glass window walls let in so much light, and the accents are kept minimal and simple. So beautiful.
3. The Loft
You see lofts all the time in apartments that were converted from old industrial buildings. I think they are so cool.
What used to be an office space is now used for more private areas of the home, like a bedroom, a home office, or even an art studio. The steel railings, staircase, and purlins are just part of the design package.
4. Concrete Panels
Is there anything more sturdy and sensible than concrete? I love that this strong material can be used for flooring, walls, counters, and pillars.
Its durability is what makes it a total mainstay in the industrial look. This modern living room shows off concrete at its absolute best. Strong, cool, and so functional.
5. Added Greenery
Sometimes the raw and functional look of industrial interiors can feel a little drab or dark. That’s where huge glass windows, wood accents, and plants come in to keep the room feeling bright.
I think potted plants are the perfect touch to add color and texture to the room, and they freshen the air too!
6. Modern Black
What a cozy and modern living room! I love that it features a brick wall painted matte black. It pairs so well with a luxurious black velvet sofa, a textured black rug, and black steel accents on the ceiling.
To keep the room feeling bright and airy, one wall was kept open with glass. Genius!
7. Old-World Industrial
This room gives me all those old-world feels of hard work, industry, and strength. It evokes a time of dynamism and dreams that were built on determination.
I just think it is so beautiful, elegant, and completely timeless.
8. Grand Penthouse
I love seeing an industrial building converted into a luxurious apartment. This one keeps its original industrial design charm, including the brick walls, metal staircases, and concrete flooring.
The whole converted space just exudes a rough elegance. The glass walls and windows let in tons of light, while potted plants add that perfect touch of warmth and character.
9. Old World Charm
The highlight of this room is definitely its old-world charm. I love that it’s stripped to its soul. The design shows off the room’s exposed brick walls, wood plank floors and ceiling, and even metal piping.
The velvet and leather seats, vintage lighting, and that huge glass window wall complete the entire look perfectly.
10. Pipe Shelving
This is such a great way to bring in a hint of industrial efficiency and charm. This functional and super sturdy metal pipe shelving is amazing.
Its metal pipe frame gives plenty of support to the shelves, making it a sensible and dependable spot for a display hub or entertainment center. Plus, the caster wheels add mobility, which is another great highlight.
11. Fall Colours
This charming and snug living room is such a cool mix of styles. I can see the strong cottage and boho vibes with the textured throws, mixed coffee tables, and wood accents.
But the industrial influences are there too, with the leather futon, minimalist grey sofa, and the concrete walls and floor.
The fall theme is the unifying element that brings it all together, with lovely colors in the accents and highlighted by potted plants and flowers.
12. Industrial Minimalist
So elegant, bright, and modern. This magnificent living room is luxury done the minimalist way.
Clean dark walls in different shades of grey, huge glass windows and walls, and steel accents bring in those strong industrial influences. I also love how the large, welcoming sectional sofa helps soften the intense design.
13. Modern and Bright
I love this bright and modern take on the raw and efficient industrial design. This tamed version includes smoothened leather seats, a minimalist patterned rug to cover the floor, and brick walls to accent the shelves.
The steel and wood coffered ceiling and soft carpet give the room a much gentler feel.
14. Steel Staircase
What’s an industrial living room design without the classic steel staircase? It was originally used for its durability and efficiency, and metal staircases also don’t take up a lot of room, which was a premium in any business.
That feature endured and is now completely integrated into modern industrial designs.
15. The Corner Room
A bright and grand living room with a touch of that rustic charm I love so much. This apartment living room really takes advantage of its great views by having glass wall windows that let in tons of natural light.
The black steel frames, exposed brick, and natural wood elements really highlight the industrial look.
16. Modern Industrial
Here, the classic and functional industrial design gets a fresh update with modern styling. This spacious and luxurious living room features all the right industrial aesthetics.
A classic leather couch, metal accents, a black brick wall, and bare concrete floors. The modern additions like pot lights, clean minimalist lines, and a bright area rug are perfect.
17. Modernist
This design is so luxurious and modern. It has clean lines, neutral colors, and strong influences from both industrial and Japanese aesthetics.
I love the pocket garden and wood combi, which totally evoke that calm, minimalist Japanese interior style.
Meanwhile, the massive concrete wall, the steel and glass staircase, and the metallic accents all point to the industrial genre. What a beautiful mix!
18. A Hipster Corner
What a great way to add fun and trendy vibes to the classic industrial design. This modern living room has all the black walls, leather, and steel components of the classic look.
But it also includes some fun and surprising elements, like patterned walls, dorky dolls, and a bright rug. It all speaks to a fun and hipster character.
19. Grey Industrial
Grey is such a great neutral color. It’s chic, efficient, and works with any design theme.
This stylish modern living room has strong industrial influences, like the exposed brick arch, a wood pallet coffee table, and bare wood floors.
To tie the whole look together, grey elements like the sofa, walls, and chandeliers really seal in that industrial design.
20. Something Vintage
What a classic look and a charming addition. This restored side table has a round wood top and an iron base.
I love that the efficient and durable design represents the timeless elegance of the industrial genre. Functionality is number one, and beauty follows right behind.
21. Steel and Grey
This apartment living room is unmistakably modern, but it has such strong industrial roots. The modern grey interior includes a grey sectional sofa, a sleek metallic center table, a grey carpet, and throws in different shades of grey.
Then you have the bright brick walls, massive grey purlins, and a black ceiling that really punch in that industrial vibe.
22. Industrial Scandi
You know I adore Scandinavian interiors. They’re always so bright, functional, and minimal. This two-story living room is such a beautiful combination of that Scandi minimalism and industrial charm.
It feels so expansive, airy, and just gorgeous. The steel and bricks of the industrial look are the perfect complement to the minimalist furniture and decor.
23. Snug and Stylish
This chic and modern living room is just perfect for a city apartment or a smaller home. A brick and concrete wall really dominates the design, and it includes modern minimalist frames, a clock, and a mirror.
The wood floor has a modern patterned rug, and a dark Aegean blue sofa completes the whole look. I love it!
24. Grey Minimalist
What a beautiful and cool living room. It’s got minimalist styling with industrial aesthetics. The textured concrete walls, smooth wood flooring, and all the furnishings come in different shades of grey.
Then you have potted plants and throws that add these vibrant pops of green into the mix. So good.
25. Leather and Steel
This is such a stunning living room with some seriously strong industrial styling. That deep brown leather sofa is a classic, and it adds such a luxurious and elegant element to the room.
The bricks and wood accents bring in the charm, while the steel box center table adds that strong, lasting, and arresting element to the look.
26. White Industrial
So comfy and snug! This small living room is also bright and welcoming. It’s like the happier version of the moody industrial genre.
It has the concrete walls, iron pipes, and wood accents of industrial design, but its white overall theme, huge welcoming sofa, and potted plants give the room a much cheerier look.
27. Vintage Wall Clock
I think the passing of time signifies continuity and enduring style. This beautiful wall clock has all the steel and minimalism of industrial styling, with its streamlined metal.
The straightforward design is based on functionality and durability. And its impeccable design and top-notch materials speak of high quality and craftsmanship.
28. Drama Mood
Yes! Bring on the style, drama, and elegance in your home with this moody industrial living room!
I love how the natural tones and textures of wood, concrete, and leather shine through with just minimal embellishments. The vintage lighting fixtures are the perfect touch to seal in the drama.
29. Green Velvet
This is a great way to add color and style to an industrial-themed living room. That green velvet sofa is just gorgeous.
The chic sofa is the highlight of the room, and it complements the textured terra-cotta brick walls and bare wood floors so well.
Then you can complete the look with vintage lighting, art pieces, and potted plants.
30. The Leather Couch
I adore how a classic leather couch can bring such strong industrial vibes to a snug and charming apartment living room.
The look is complemented by the exposed brick columns, the metal accents, and the wood plank flooring. It’s delightful, timeless, and just stunning!
31. Shades of Grey
This is a modern and minimalist living room, but you can see traces of industrial aesthetics.
The cool and modern grey theme includes concrete walls and ceiling, a smooth wood floor, a black sectional with a matching coffee table, and a textured grey area rug.
The sleek pipes and lighting fixtures are what highlight those industrial influences.
32. Stone Walls
So imposing, timeless, and stunning. This stone wall accent adds such a striking element to this modern and sophisticated living room, giving it a strong industrial air.
The minimalist styling, steel accents, and impeccable choice of furnishings give the room an unforgettable magnificence.
33. Forest Villa
Fabulous, stunning, and mesmerizing! This unforgettable living room design is truly one of a kind! The dark theme of the interiors includes matte black walls and ceiling, a sunken sofa setting, and stone accents.
A huge skylight with steel beams keeps the room well-lit and reflects beautifully on the stunning wood floors.
34. Skylight Surprise
A skylight is always such a great addition to any room. It gives you constant daylight, visually opens up the room, and adds so much character to the ceiling.
The huge skylight here takes up most of the ceiling of this lovely and cozy industrial-themed living room, which keeps the room feeling bright despite its dark undertones.
35. Pastel and Concrete
I love how the raw, hard, and edgy industrial look of this living room is softened by bright pastels! The rough concrete walls are left bare to bring in that strong, raw industrial vibe.
It’s complemented by the bare floor and a dark grey rug, which contrasts so well with the light teal sofa and pastel throws.
36. Cart Coffee Table
A little hint of farmhouse charm comes with this repurposed coffee table. I just love it.
Featuring iron wheels and the black metal frames of an industrial cart, the table adds such a strong presence and character to the design. Its wood elements complement the charming rustic theme of the room perfectly.
37. Creative Lighting
Traditional industrial buildings can sometimes feel a bit dank, busy, and dark, with the day-to-day hustle burying the design’s innate charms.
A great way to modernize industrial interiors is with minimal décor, comfort pieces, and creative lighting that highlights all of its beautiful elements.
38. Metallic Lighting
This is such an easy and beautiful way to inject some industrial air into your interior design. Just add some metallic lighting fixtures!
These light pendants come in brass, copper, or brushed iron varieties. I love that they also vary in style, shapes, and designs to complement your own needs and style.
39. Bright Industrial
This modern and bright living room is the total opposite of the conventional gloomy industrial styling. I adore it. Its white walls and ceilings keep the room feeling bright and airy.
But an accent brick wall, exposed piping, and huge glass pane windows bring the look right back to that intense industrial theme.
40. Austere Grandeur
Who says luxury and grandeur can’t come with austerity and minimalism? This imposing living room has minimal embellishments on its rough walls.
The huge glass windows are left bare, and the seating is a mix of furnishings. A classic leather couch, a pair of grey fabric chairs, and a repurposed cart coffee table.
Stunning lighting and a denim-toned rug complete the design beautifully.
41. Pipe Dreams
Exposed steel pipes are so common in industrial buildings and industrial-themed designs. They are durable, efficient, and adaptable to many uses, often for water channels, electrical wirings, and cable protection.
You can get that strong and efficient ambiance just by integrating metal pipes into your living room.
42. Red Brick Charm
This is such a classic industrial interior design, but it’s updated with modern aesthetics. The elements are still there but are cleaned up, shined, or streamlined.
The beautiful brick wall is the star of this industrial living room. Its texture, vibrant tones, and classic terracotta hues bring so much charm and timeless elegance to the design.
43. Rustic Highlights
The wood accents are what bring all the charm to this lovely living room. The industrial styling includes bare concrete walls, bare floors, and a grey color palette.
But then you have wood accents, like the repurposed crate coffee tables, exposed beams, and décor, that add a rustic charm to the mix.
44. Black Walls
This modern loft apartment gets its industrial vibe from its dark walls. So chic in black! The walls get some great texture from the brick patterns and wood accents from the doors and ceiling.
A black steel staircase and railings, vintage lighting, a black coffee table, a fuzzy grey rug, and a welcoming grey sofa complete this amazing look.
45. Window Mirror
Glass windowpanes and arch windows are total mainstays of classic industrial buildings. You can inject a dose of industrial charm into your modern interiors with this faux glass window wall accent.
I think it’s such a clever idea, and the feature also doubles as a mirror!
