Warehouse chic is industrial interior design a growing and widespread trend in the world of interior design. This style is used in: loft apartments, modern houses, and commercial spaces as a platform to showcase utilitarian objects, neutral tones, metal, and wooden surfaces. Below are the materials you need to successfully create the perfect warehouse look:
Exposed and Uncovered
One of the key design elements of a successful warehouse chic interior is its ‘full monty’, no holds barred, raw appearance. The features of a living space that would usually be covered or hidden, such as: brickwork, ceilings, ducts, and piping are prominent and eye-catching. The image below emphasises how the exposed brick wall adds texture to the space, whilst the reclaimed wooden floor adds warmth and a homely feel. This ‘unfinished’ look which was originally necessity has since become a widely-imitated, popular, and sought after interior style.
Metal and Wood
Pairings of wood and metal are common features of a warehouse chic interior, with both materials sometimes incorporated into the same piece. The image below shows a wooden table paired with metal chairs, which combined with the exposed features described above create a chic modern look. These elements create a functional and stylish commercial interior.
Vintage Furniture
No warehouse chic interior is complete without vintage furniture (like the chair below) or pieces inspired by those found in a laboratory or old factory. Many pieces combine wood and metal for an industrial-earthy feel, others are shiny metal pieces that dominate the room, and some items like bar stools are repurposed for use in a home.
