How can industrial interior design still look cosy and inviting?

Industrial interior design as a style could be interpreted as quite cold and stark, I believe that with a few easy tweaks you can make this ID style cosy and inviting. 

So, how can you achieve this?

Firstly, it's worth pointing out that you can blend ID styles to your industrial look to bring warmth and depth. Add warmth through textures, layering and clever lighting. 

When you are looking at your flooring choices, remember by adding rugs or runners, it can add an instant lift in cosiness. Warm colours adds depth. 

Embrace ambient lighting by adding subtle lamps around the space, to add to key focal lighting features.  The filiments in your bulbs will have a impact in terms of the atmosphere it can create and give a decorative glow. The lumens (brightness), is worth checking to, as it sets a colour temperature. 

Warmth can easily be added by using natural products to furnish or add finishing touches.  Greenery and large planting can instantly uplift any ID style and the same goes for Industrial interior design projects. 

If you have high ceilings, to help enclose the space, add floor to ceiling heavy curtains, it's like they are hugging the room and can transform your home with ease.

If you're opting for leather sofas or couches, add cushions that you can snuggle up to.  

To top this off, add a bookshelf or two.  The spine and cover brings softness, or add some wall decorations. 

This is just giving you a few quick and easy solutions to bring cosiness to your industrial interior design style room.

A Blog about Blogs

I started this blog back in February, and every week without fail I've shared a blog a week.  It was in the hope that other interior designers, students or home interior lovers found it of use and I thought it would be a great time coming up to the half year point to stop and reflect.  Reflect on what's working, what do you want to read more about or indeed, what I have yet to explore.  As a business owner or freelancer building a following can & does take time & effort and as Country Interior Design by MJ is coming up to our 6 month review it's poignant to pause and check in with ourselves & you the most important aspect as to why we are doing this.  We have been sharing content of inspiration on Facebook and Instagram from the start with a clear weekly schedule: Mondays  Devine or Decadence  Tuesday  History of interior design  Wednesday  Feb 26: Room of Ferial August 26: Shine a light Thursday  Colour Psychology  Frid...
