You know the look you’re after, but you’re still not sure exactly what to search for when shopping for modern industrial furniture. Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. Our professional interior design team put together this helpful guide so you can easily identify the furnishings and fixtures that will make your space the epitome of modern industrial style. Let’s get started!
Modern Industrial Furniture Is…
Raw
Modern industrial interiors are characterized by exposed beams, pipes, vents, and other raw, unfinished-looking materials. As such, it’s common for these materials to also be used in modern industrial furniture design. Adding shelving to your space is a great starting point in particular as modern industrial shelves are usually made from wrought iron, metal, or even piping materials.
Distressed
Many home decorators achieve the modern industrial look by using reclaimed and rustic materials. Wood from old barns, beams from industrial buildings, or even products that were manufactured to look like such materials are frequently used in industrial style interiors. The point is for your furniture to look worn and distressed — even if it’s brand-new. Think brown leather sofas finished in warm wood or a patinaed, antique nickel coffee table when shopping for the pieces to complete your modern industrial space.
Factory
Since the modern industrial style was born out of the transformation of old factories and industrial spaces, it makes sense that the furniture seen in these interiors is often thought of as “factory style.” This design style relies heavily on incorporating industrial furniture that looks like it could be used in a factory setting. Drafting tables, Edison bulb lamps, and drill press stools are all perfect examples of factory-style furnishings that would be found in a modern industrial style home.

Utilitarian
The industrial style is characterized by utilitarianism, both in function and in form. Each piece in your collection should have a purpose, prioritizing practicality over all else. For this reason, it’s common for modern industrial spaces to lean on the principles of minimalism, only furnishing rooms with the things that are absolutely necessary for enjoying the space.
Clean
It’s important to remember that the modern industrial style is about more than vintage, rustic, raw materials and gritty, edgy furnishings. This design style also draws on contemporary elements, incorporating clean lines and streamlined silhouettes in its furnishings and fixtures. Similar to our last point, select pieces that are uncomplicated, thoughtfully designed, and serve a purpose for your space.
