Tips for furnishing an industrial dining room
Be inspired
Are you planning to restyle your dining room, or are you about to move? Both are excellent opportunities to furnish your kitchen or dining room completely to your tastes. Perhaps you’re already a fan of the industrial living style, but you’re unsure which furniture and colours will be a match.
Then it's good to know you've arrived at the right blog! We’ll journey into the world of industrial furnishings and share some useful tips.
What’s typically industrial?
To refresh your memory, it might be a good idea to take a look at what the industrial living style is all about. This style is based on the factory culture of the 19th and 20th centuries, resulting in a tough and raw style in which the materials of that time are frequently used.
Materials
If we take a closer look at industrial living, we’ll soon come across the different materials you can use for the design of your dining room. Concrete is, of course, typically industrial. You may not immediately think of a dining table when you think of concrete, but did you know that this material lends itself perfectly to beautiful furniture?
In our workshop in Heeze it’s our daily duty to tinker with different materials and conjure up the most beautiful furniture–and that includes concrete! Are you curious what this furniture looks like? Then take a look at our concrete dining tables.
Of course, concrete isn’t the only material that suits an industrial interior. To make the tough and raw elements come to the forefront, you can, for example, opt for a lived oak tabletop. This means we leave small cracks and knots be, one of the four options we offer when it comes to oak wood. Be inspired by the possibilities. That way you know exactly what’s possible.
Colours
Colour and material always go hand in hand. So it’s good to know that our oak tabletops are available in several colours. This means there’s always an option to match your new acquisition with the rest of your interior. Within the industrial style of living, black, grey, and white are often used and by combining these colours you’re able to create surprising effects.
Incidentally, we have different colours of concrete in store for you. When you think of concrete, you may immediately think of the most well-known variant: grey. But did you know we have no fewer than 4 options for you? Our colours range from almost white (White) to almost black (Charcoal). After selecting your table, you get the chance to choose your colours.
Frames
When you’re furnishing your dining room, you probably don't immediately think of the frame of your new dining table. Still, it’s smart to consider this as well during your orientation. In our own workshop we’re able to make dozens of different frames for you. And did you know we can also apply some typical industrial colours to the frames? Of course you can opt for the natural steel look, but we’re also happy to work with black or white powder coating. Mix & match and create your own, show-stealing dining table–perfect for your industrial dining room.
Other living styles
Have you spotted elements within the industrial living style that you like, but are you curious which other living styles there are to inspire you? Then take a quick look at these living styles and do your thing. For instance, there’s the Scandinavian style, but we also want to introduce you to modern and rural living.
