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.
Several characteristics are typical of the industrial bedroom style, and some of them are:
- using rustic, metal, and vintage pieces
- giving the space an ‘unfinished’ feel
- exposed brick walls
- metal pendants and a studio light panel
- monochrome bedding
These are just some of the main characteristics that you should apply to make your bedroom fit the industrial style.
However, there are other ways you can decorate and here we will go through some tips and tricks on how to transform your bedroom into your raw and modern industrial haven.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use Dark Bedframes
If you are not a fan of metal bedframes, using dark thick wooden ones will also do the trick.
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.
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‘.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
