Raw And Refined: 21 Edgy Industrial Bedrooms

Raw And Refined: 21 Edgy Industrial Bedrooms

The industrial bedroom style is a perfect choice if you want to decorate your bedroom in a new way.

Think of a bedroom that almost looks like it was placed in a factory during the Industrial Revolution.

Metal, brick, gloominess – all these elements play a huge part in this style – and of course, comfy bedding because we are not actually in the 18th century.

This style perfectly blends raw elements with modern elegance, making it a great choice for those who do not like over-simplified minimalism and love some natural and edgy feel.

Also, open spaces are typical for this style and they make the room appear unfinished and airy.

1. Paint Your Walls Black

Painting your walls black and installing black window frames will already give you a great start!

These elements are a perfect foundation for an industrial bedroom because no matter what you add afterward, you can make it fit the style.

2. Use Metal Bedframes

Using metal bedframes will definitely make your room fit the style.

They can look quite cold but add a warm colored cushion or comfy bedding and it will balance it out.

3. Striking a Balance

A good mixture of natural materials and industrial touches is key to making it click.

4. Use Open Space As Much As Possible

Ideally, an industrial bedroom will have high ceilings and a lot of space.

This will create a grandiose feeling and can be a way to add enough lighting to the bedroom.

5. Add Dark Bookshelves

If you do not want to paint your walls black, adding dark-colored bookshelves will help you achieve the same effect.

Also, books were a very important part of the Industrial Revolution, so this is also a proper decoration for your bedroom.

6. Use Browns, Blacks, And Whites

These colors are probably the best to use if you want to achieve an industrial-style bedroom.

Cushions, armchairs, carpets, and curtains should be in these colors.

However, sometimes there are exceptions.

7. Blue Hour Industrial Style

Sometimes we love to add color, so it is best to stick to colder hues.

Blue is probably one of the best colors to add if you want to stay in the industrial style.

8. Add Metal Staircases

If you have enough space in your bedroom, try to add metal wherever you can.

A metal staircase is probably the best idea if you want to have an industrial-style bedroom without painting your walls black or adding too much of the industrial vibe.

9. Expose The Brick

As already mentioned, exposed brick is one of the most prominent characteristics of this style.

It may seem cold but pair it with wooden pieces and it will look much more elegant.

10. Use Dark Bedframes

If you are not a fan of metal bedframes, using dark thick wooden ones will also do the trick.

11. White Can Also Look Industrial

For all of you who do not like dark bedrooms but would like to try the industrial style, white can also fit into this aesthetic.

Simply add metal and brick all around the room and you will notice how it starts transforming into the style.

12. Play With Lighting

Lighting is usually very specific in the industrial bedroom style – it is dimmed and usually comes from metal pendants.

However, this does not fit everyone’s style, so you can always try to play with lighting and see how it fits your style.

Just make it seem cold and ‘industrial enough‘.

13. Keep The ‘Unfinished’ Vibe

Your bed, walls, or floors should not look ‘finished’ if you want to create an industrial effect.

Try to keep at least one of these things look raw and undone and you will fit the vibe.

14. Add Pipes Wherever You Can

Exposed pipes are probably another famous characteristic of this style.

Of course, they do not have to be of use, you can simply add them for aesthetic purposes.

15. Industrial Minimalism

If you really want to go minimal, you can downplay all these characteristics and use them as little as you want.

The industrial bedroom can look great even in the all-minimal style because it usually promotes minimalism.

16. Corals And Blues

This combination is a perfect example of how you do not have to follow the rules to create a beautiful industrial bedroom.

These colors look wonderful combined with the brick wall, steel, and industrial-style lighting.

17. Use Wood

Wooden bed frames, nightstands, and floors can look great next to steel and exposed brick.

Try to match their colors for the ultimate modern effect!

18. Use Glass Portals

Glass portals with steel frames are another wonderful way to add to the style.

They can be both useful and aesthetic so do not shy away from them and see if you can incorporate them into your bedroom decor.

19. Small Bedrooms Can Also Be Industrial

Small bedrooms can also look very stylish in the industrial style.

Add hanging light bulbs, brick walls, and dark furniture – and you are all set!

20. Stick To Monochrome Bedding

It is not the rule, but it is desirable to have monochrome bedding that looks comfy and that matches the metal pieces around the room.

21. Add Your Personal Touches

No matter the style, your bedroom should represent you, so feel free to add personal touches to it.

From art to family photos, do not think it will ruin the vibe if you own your room the way you like.
