Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Industrial chic works in smaller spaces when the refined elements are prioritized. One exposed brick accent wall, elegant lighting, and sophisticated furniture create the look without the overwhelming rawness of full industrial. For a small entryway: Small entryways use walls efficiently: floating shelf with hooks below, mirror to expand space, small console or bench. Even a 3x3 landing can function with smart design.
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can embrace more industrial bones with generous refined elements throughout. Create intimate seating areas with luxe furniture, balance raw walls with soft textiles, and layer lighting for drama and function. In a larger entryway: Large foyers become statements: round tables with flowers, dramatic lighting, seating areas. Multiple furniture pieces and art walls. Grand first impressions.
Budget-Friendly
Focus industrial elements on budget solutions: faux brick panels, thrift-store metal items. Spend on one refined piece—a velvet throw, brass lamp, or upholstered ottoman. The contrast creates the style without expensive investment in both categories.
Luxury Approach
Restore original warehouse elements professionally, source designer furniture for refined pieces, invest in original artwork, specify premium fixtures and finishes, and work with designers to balance raw and refined perfectly.
