5 LED Wall Lighting Ideas to Liven Up Your Outdoor Spaces at Home

There's nothing quite like those warm summer nights spent outdoors, is there? Whether you're firing up the grill for a casual backyard barbeque bash or simply enjoying a laid-back evening under the star-studded sky, ambient lighting can work wonders for enhancing your outdoor living experience. Among the many options out there, LED wall lighting is a real game-changer when it comes to lightening up your exterior spaces with style and flair.

Let's explore five inspired ideas for your home's outdoor hangout zones-

Dramatize Your Home's Unique Architecture

One ultra-cool way to highlight those eye-catching architectural details? Implement some strategic LED wall washing. By carefully positioning LED Outdoor lights for walls at precise angles, you can cast a soft, even glow across textured surfaces like stone or brick. Not only does this visually striking technique add wonderful depth and dimension, but it's also the perfect way to show off ornate moldings, accent your home's entryway, or create an alluring focal point. Your home's exterior will radiate all kinds of drama and interest.

Illuminate Stairways and Paths with Style

Safety meets sophistication with the help of LED stair and path lighting. By recessing little LED Outdoor lights for walls into stair risers or mounting them along the sides of walkways, you can brighten up these often-neglected areas with functional yet fashionable illumination. And with a rainbow of color temperature options in your corner, it's easy to complement your home's aesthetic and landscaping choices. Say goodbye to that disconnected feel between indoors and out!

Apply a Stroke of Strategic Accent Lighting

Sometimes less is more when it comes to creating ambiance. With a few well-positioned LED accent outdoor lights, you can establish stunning visual highlights and set just the right mood for your outdoor soirée. Use them to frame water features, sculptures, or cozy nooks. Tweak the beam angle and color temperature to your heart's content for either an intimate, cozy atmosphere or something bolder and more high-drama. It's totally up to your personal tastes!

Blend Beauty and Efficiency in Your Landscape

Why not incorporate LED wall lights directly into your landscape design for a seamless look? Line pathways, uplighting shrubbery, or accent show-stopping trees and garden beds - the energy-efficient possibilities are limitless. And with a whole spectrum of color temps in your lighting toolbox, it's easy to complement your yard's aesthetic, whether you prefer an inviting warmth or a sleek modern vibe.

Get Playful with Decorative String Lights

For an extra dose of whimsy and charm, you can't go wrong with a set of eye-catching LED string outdoor lights adorning your home's exterior walls, fences, and structures. Swag them overhead, wrap them around pillars and posts, or let them softly drape across surfaces for a magical twinkling effect. With styles ranging from classic bulbs to novelty shapes and colors galore, the options are limited only by your imagination. Instant outdoor ambiance and festivity!

Conclusion

With a few smart LED wall lighting strategies, you can easily turn your humble backyard into an open-air paradise made for memorable summer nights with family and friends.

Interiors Under 60 Sqm With Simple Colour Infusions

Simple colour infusions uplift the reposeful grey and white bases of these two homes, each measuring under 60 square metres. The one bed apartment layouts are thoughtfully arranged to overcome space limitations, and build stylish solutions that feel crisp and cool. Blue is our common theme that links the aesthetic of the pair, though home number one kicks off with a warm yellow welcome. We’ll take a look at space saving furniture, both off-the-peg and bespoke, and a complete set floor plans. We’ll also be confronted with clean minimalist characteristics that prove less is most definitely more, and that it is the blank spaces between pieces that can make the biggest impact.

Visualizer: Daniel Goncharenko   A warm welcome is extended through a sunshine yellow rug in our first apartment interior, located in Kyiv, Ukraine. Measuring just 56 square metres, this layout features a compact lounge area with only a small modern sofa and a simple round coffee table. The bright accent rug gives the limited area greater presence and personality.

A couple of coffee table books accessorise the round coffee table, which gives the place a homey feel.

One end of the dining peninsula has a built-in planter, an opportune place for a kitchen herb garden. Abstract art adds interest to a plain white wall.

Stainless steel kitchen cabinets create unique impact in the small living space. They reflect the layout and the light, which helps the room to appear more open. A gold kitchen tap offsets the cold steel.

A brick feature wall brings some much needed texture to the living room, and creates an atmospheric industrial backdrop for the TV.

Bifold louvre doors connect the living space with the bedroom.

In keeping the doors open, the living space is expanded.

The home entryway is kept clear, except for a chic hour glass vanity stool by a full length mirror with shelf. Glossy doors slide away to reveal a walk-in closet.

The brick wall feature repeats inside the bedroom.

The minimalist bedroom scheme is given a unique touch with the installation of a folded headboard wall.

Royal blue marble strikes colour into the white bathroom.

The unusual piece dominates the simple scheme, and influences linear silhouettes in the rest of the bathroom furniture and sanitaryware.

A minimalist faucet fills the unique bathroom sink.

Blue marble clads the back of a recessed shelf above the bathtub.

The apartment floor plan shows direct and easy access toward the entryway closet from the bedroom.

Visualizer: Alfgram Koie   Our other apartment design has a 52 square metre layout, with a decidedly more sophisticated tilt. A plush blue sofa makes an L-shaped arrangement around a smart set of nesting coffee tables, and a superb feature wall threads light and reflection down the compact living room.

A slatted grey panel adds contemporary flair to a flat TV wall.

Natural wood and dried pampas grass adds a comforting nature element to the dining room, which complements the beautiful wooden wall feature. A unique dining room chandelier drops halos of light and golden accents over the eating area.

Soft grey dining chairs join the natural timber table to make a mellow set, and to echo the materials of the adjacent grey and wood tone kitchen.

Oak flooring connects each room of the home in a cohesive flow.

An American style fridge-freezer may seem a large choice for a home with limited space, however, the appliance tucks tidily into sleek housing.

An entryway stool carries through the blue accent colour from the living room sofa.

The rest of the entryway furniture shies away in shadowy greys.

Blue wall art brightens up the two-tone grey hallway decor. Around the corner, a unique modern wall sconce illuminates the walkway into the lounge.

Moving into the bedroom of the apartment, a geometric accent wall makes an eye catching statement. To contrast with the angular wall design, circular pendants adorn the bedroom chandelier.

Minimalist bedroom pendant lights dangle thinly above the bedside drawer units, glowing down the ribbed grey headboard wall.

In addition to bedside table lights, perimeter LEDs thread along the ceiling line to highlight the geometric motif. A herringbone throw draws geo pattern to the bed.

At the foot of the bed we see repetition of the textured gypsum TV wall decor. We also find a neat little vanity setup with a floor to ceiling mirror. A modern grey vanity stool slips elegantly beneath a floating dressing table.

The closet is revealed from behind obscured glass doors.

The walk in wardrobe is a generously sized area that fits a dresser on each side of its depth.

Twin garment rails divide the space absolutely evenly between a couple–or provide just one large hanging space for a single fashion loving homeowner.

Garment shelves and cupboards make use of vertical space.

A utility area houses a stacked Bosch washing machine and tumble dryer set.

Timber cabinets build a made-to-measure aesthetic around the laundry area.

The rest of the room is dedicated to cloakroom facilities. Marble geometric tiles give the tiny room a high-end luxe look. White marble encloses the toilet cistern.

The bathroom vanity is a concise wood and black marble piece, wall mounted beneath a simple backlit vanity mirror.

In the main bathroom, smoky grey marble encases of the bathtub, ending in a stack of bespoke bathroom shelving.

White marble lightens the rest of the space.

Wooden elements bring in warmth and nature.

The floor plan demonstrates the indulgent scale of the bedroom walk-in wardrobe, and two valuable closets in the home entryway to boot.

Week 3: History of Design

Truck (picture)

                                The design that gets me from A to B every day is my truck. I realize that we’ve used vehicles as an example many times already, but it’s such a good one! As we can see the truck is lime green, so as to draw attention and (hopefully) deter accidents more. The LED headlights afford more viewing distance so that the driver can avoid things in the road such as deer. The plastics on the body allow for a lighter weight vehicle so as to conserve gas. The design aspects on newer vehicles like this is phenomenal compared to what they used to be built like. The headlights used to be halogen, yellowish in color and not very bright. The body was mostly comprised of metal and very heavy. This would keep the driver safer, but the vehicle was much less efficient on gas. The colors were not so much different for the old muscle cars however 😊. The design team sure hit a homerun on this one!

On a side note, we could possibly term this truck as historicist item, because it “revives a style from the past” (Eskilson, 2019, p. 51). Although the body may not be considered, the color was taken from the original muscle cars that Dodge had produced.

Eskilson, S. (2019). Graphic design: a new history. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press.

 Dudley tower (picture) https://miron-construction.com/project/dudley-tower/

The Dudley Tower in Wausau is a great example of design. The purpose, similar to what was explained in one of our videos, is to accommodate a large area of space in a smaller footing on the ground. By designing this building this way, there are multiple offices and businesses in one building, rather than multiple buildings. Not only is this aimed at saving space, but it can also allow people to visit multiple businesses at once if they wish. If we look back to the older days, they had only one building per business. In addition to that, they probably didn’t have privacy windows that also block the sunlight!

Watch (draw)

One of the designs that I realized I use everyday was my G Shock watch. This shock proof watch has fluorescent orange colors so that it can be seen in darker conditions, a backlight, and a rubber wrist band so that it can survive the harshest of conditions. The more rugged user was in mind when the design team was put on this one. We can put this side by side with the pocket watches that people used to have to tell the differences over time. The newer design doesn’t have to be wound up to keep running, it doesn’t have to be stuck in a pocket, and we don’t have to worry about dropping or damaging it.

Pen (draw)

Without the design of my pen at work, life would be a disaster. In this case, it is a clear case wrapped around a black ink pen, with a holding clip at the top and rubber grip at the bottom for fingers. The two biggest design features present here that didn’t used to be are the rubber grip and the clip at the top. One allows for constant writing without the fingers getting as sore or blistered, and the other allows for the pen to be stored somewhere without being lost. The writer was clearly in mind when the design team was brainstorming.

 TV (picture) https://www.ggelectronics.com/products/view/65-samsung-qn65q90rafxzc-qled-4k-smart-flat-screen-tv

The design of the television is something we all know and love. I’m sure most everyone used to have a box TV in their house at sometime that required rabbit ears and only got 7 channels. Nowadays we have TVs that have 4k picture, LED lighting, and measuring up to 70” plus. Of course, some TVs like mine still only get around 14 channels (not a huge improvement). As we can see though, design thinkers came together to focus on what would help the viewer be able to see the picture better, read the subtitles perhaps, or even improve the speakers so that we could hear better.

Snowblower (draw)

Throughout winter, a snowblower is the most useful design you are going to find besides a plow truck. My snowblower in this scenario is a cub cadet with electric hand controls at the top that move the chute and turn on the heated hand grips, as well as large tires, a good-sized engine, and a huge mouth on it. This once again, was altered by designers quite a few times. We could go back as far as the shovel to compare, but we can start with the early snowblowers. They had tires that didn’t grip as well, smaller openings in the front, weaker engines, and no electronic controls at all; everything was controlled by hand. Not that we’ve made a huge leap forward in this design thinking, but it has made progress over the years! If only they made a snowblower that melted the snow instead…. (maybe a flamethrower).

Bridge (draw)

 Until you drive eight hours a day like me, you probably don’t realize just how many bridges we actually have on the roads. Needless to say, this is a design that needs to be thought out and constructed with extreme care! Just remember what happened to London bridge.. it fell down 😉. This particular bridge that I saw while driving had guard rails on the top for people to walk across, two concrete platforms that formed the road, and four support beams in the center of the structure. The design thinkers were clearly thinking of us when they included the handrails so that we could cross the bridge safely, as well as the various supports underneath to keep EVERYBODY safe in general. We can look back to the first time bridges were made…. with wood. Everything was rickety and half the time they didn’t last. Only when some of the first design thinkers were involved did we see a rail system so that people could cross.

Lamp (picture) https://getmobley.com/products/tosv-desk-lamp-black

The answer to your question is….  YES! This is the lamp from all those Pixar movies! People underestimate the value of the lamp design. Not that we necessarily would perish without them today, but what would you do for light in all those areas where an overhead light isn’t installed? This one in particular has an adjustable top, an easy on/off switch, and even a lengthy power cord it appears. By designing it this way, the lamp can sit anywhere in the vicinity of an outlet, be turned on and off with ease, and can be adjusted so the light shines in different directions. We can look back to the early designs of these by imagining an oil lamp. In this instance, you needed to fill them every so often, they were not as easy to light as pressing a button, they didn’t give off much light, and the light shone in every which direction. Not the worst design in the world, but definitely more user-friendly with the modern-day ones. Of course, one of those oil lamps wouldn’t be so bad if the power goes out and you have no batteries!

Pocket knife (draw)

Something that I would be lost without is the design of my pocket-knife. The handle is a rubbery gel so that it is more tempted to stay in your hand. There is a slight opening on the handle where, if you press down, the blade will retract safely back into the handle. The blade itself has a serrated section for cutting bigger things, while the end of the blade has a fine edge for making careful incisions. Design thinkers have gone through many designs of these, trying to find the most efficient while also keeping it as safe as possible. The earlier versions of what we might consider a “pocket-knife” would be one of those longer hunting knives that sat in a sheath on your belt. Not a bad design, but it lacked the rubber handle for grip, the serrated section for cutting, and it had the potential to fall out of the holster as a open knife. There have been quite a few improvements from then.

Shovel (picture) https://www.amazon.com/Suncast-SC3250-18-Inch-Shovel-Ergonomic/dp/B000A1E690

The mighty snow shovel has been my friend for many a winter before my snowblower. We might even go as far as to call her old faithful. This design has been refigured time and time again. This current version of shovel has a plastic poly base with a blade style bottom to cut though the snow while being lightweight. The handle has been curved so that it lightens the load on the person’s back. A handle has been placed at the top for easy grip. We can compare this to the design thinker’s original design of the little orange shovel. That plastic was very fragile and couldn’t lift very much. The handle was shorter so you had to bend down farther and couldn’t throw as far. Lastly, it was a straight line all the way from the handle to the base with no curve. This is another item that design teams are constantly trying to evolve for the user to be the most comfortable while clearing that horrible snow. Frosty would be devastated!

 My House (notes)

·        One the more complex designs in our world today is a house. For this specific case, mine. Upon looking at it from the outside, it is a newer bi-level home with grey vinyl siding and sections of red brick. The siding was added for ventilation as well as protection for the house. There is a three-car attached garage for extra car storage, so as to protect vehicles from the elements. There are numerous windows so that the homeowner can enjoy the sunshine or just simply look outside. The backyard is an open design with a fence with the purpose of having a dog in mind. Looking up, the roof is quite steep, maybe around 35 or 40 degrees. It was designed this way so that snow would fall more easily off the roof around springtime. With a house, we could go on and on describing the various design aspects involved and why they were made that way. When all said and done, houses have been improving in design for countless years. I look around at some of the older houses and they have nearly flat roofs, which can hold more snow, single paned windows that don’t insulate the house very well, and wood siding that doesn’t allow the house to ventilate. All these are things that have been altered by design teams and architects over the years with the purpose of making life easier and more convenient for the homeowner.

Coffee Travel Mug (notes)

·        A design that I see daily is my wife’s travel mug that she uses for coffee. This object is a 16-ounce black container that is roughly 10” tall. The inside is stainless steel to avoid any potential rusting that could occur from constant use. There is a black cover that screwed on with a twist mouthpiece. This way the container can be closed when it travels so it doesn’t spill, slightly lessening the safety concern of burning. The container itself is insulated so as to keep your beverage either hot or cold for long periods of time. Around the cup is a black rubber piece, designed so that the drinker can safely grab the cup without burning themselves or even dropping it. The earlier versions that I’ve seen had no insulation, no safety rubber as a grip, and a top that simply was screwed on or off. They were not nearly as safe as the newer version that is described above. Design teams over the years have improved upon the early design to keep the client more satisfied.

Dumbbell (notes)

·        This design has always been one of my favorites. The purpose behind the design in this instance is to improve and improve the human body. An accurate description of this item would be a silver metal bar, an inch thick, that has grooves in the center, maybe 6 inches long, with black rounded rubber/metal plates on either side of the bar. The plates are held on by screws in most cases so that they don’t fall off and injure somebody. They come in all shapes and sizes depending on what the user would like to have. One of the most important design items included is the size/weight of the actual plates on either side. Since it is customer focused, there are many different weights available depending on what is needed at the time. The biggest thing here is that they are designed small, but still heavy. The older ones had a bulkier shape to them, which made them hard to maneuver without catching something on your body. Design thinkers must have caught on and asked a few people, because now they are smaller and more versatile. A second design aspect that has been changed is the hand grips. The older ones were just bare metal that slipped out of your hands. Nowadays we have grooved handles which makes it easier to hang onto, which can also roll into a safety aspect of the situation. Bottom line, the design was set in place so that humans could more easily and safely use the product while still achieving the intended purpose of improving the physique of the human body.

4 Apartments That Turn Up The Dial On Industrial Style

Industrial chic interior design doesn’t have to be stark and grey. The industrial vibe can be warm and rich – whether that comes via glowy lighting schemes, chic home accessories or unique decor touches that’s up to you. We’ve gathered together four apartment designs that turn up the dial on industrial style, each pushing a different envelope in how to make a house into a home. You’ll also find inspiration for how to introduce art into an industrial home interior and some smart layouts for living spaces on different sized scales. Find stylish cosy furniture to counteract cool concrete walls and fabulous ideas for lighting installations.

Visualizer: leqb Architects   The industrial home decor in apartment number one is cut through by strips of light, tracked across the ceiling and pushing up over concrete walls.

Striking artwork colours a raw concrete wall. A patterned rug adds movement to the floor area beneath a sleek black lounge chair.

A ceiling mounted fireplace descends in the centre of the open plan space, between the lounge and a kitchen diner. You can find more gorgeous fireplaces here.

Black kitchen units have been teamed with a wraparound concrete kitchen island counter, which matches the polished concrete floor.

One side of the central island is utilised as the eating area. A row of kitchen bar stools stand on industrial style metal legs beneath the fiery glow of unique kitchen pendant lights. Behind the island, integrated appliances fit into one whole wall of black kitchen cabinets.

A Seletti Monkey Lamp swings by the window, over a distressed teal storage chest. The novelty lamp is reflected in the glass of a huge gilt framed mirror propped casually in the corner.

Inside the master bedroom there is a home office area with a computer desk and bookshelves. A metal fence-like detail runs along the top of the desk and along the top of the adjacent headboard. Find more industrial bedrooms here.

Wirework decorates the structure of a beautifully designed desk chair too. A metal swing arm wall lamp extends above a Sitting monkey lamp.

An industrial style bedroom pendant light illuminates the opposite side of the double bed.

The bathroom contains more examples of wirework decor, as a feature wall behind the vanity mirror and as cupboard doors above the toilet. The metal fencing effect and concrete walls provide all that is needed to nail an industrial bathroom look; the rest of the decor is beautiful natural wood and slick modern fittings.

An open shelving unit provides ample storage for towels and toiletries.

Soft perimeter lighting makes the industrial styled shower enclosure appear warm and inviting.

Plan of the bedroom mezzanine level.

Visualizer: Dasha Makushova   Next up, we have a studio apartment with a glass wall bedroom design. The glass only just slots between the foot of the bed and the arm of the living room sofa.

The grey sofa looks upon a tv console unit, which somewhat separates the lounge from the dining area.

An L-shaped kitchen runs around the dining suite.

A wine cooler glows in amongst black kitchen cabinets. The dark units contrast boldly with a light wood effect floor.

Grey concrete and black tinted walls make up the textured decor in the bedroom. An upholstered bed provides some softer edges.

A walk-in closet is positioned behind the headboard wall in the bedroom. Spotlights and strip lights provide illumination.

Visualizer: 3DM Studio   Our third tour takes place in a monochrome and natural wood industrial style interior, where a grey brick wall living room is enlivened with a cascade of indoor plants.

A swing arm wall lamp has been positioned right by an extraordinary wall treatment. A herringbone arrangement of wood planks creates a zigzagged edge up the full height of the room. The unique decor feature continues all the way over the floor too.

At the edge of the geometric cut floor design, two swivel bar stools are seated at a kitchen island.

One end of the kitchen island is cradled by iron bars that extend to the ceiling.

Behind the central island, grey wood grain cabinets make up the rest of the kitchen.

Storage units at the edge of the room are chamfered into angular shapes to tie in with the geometric theme.

Herringbone tile patterns the bathroom floor and clads its walls. A black double sink bathroom vanity draws on the dark shades in the ceramic.

Light wood vanity cupboards and an unusual wooden shower enclosure lighten up the bathroom decor scheme.

The geometric cut wall cladding makes a return as part of the bedroom decor. Slender bedside table lamps shine on top of wire frames.

The softness of the upholstered bed counteracts a rough brickwork feature wall.

Visualizer: Belogurova Dorofeeva   Finally, our last industrial style home is a cosy pad with a definite ‘rev-head’ flavour.

Motor vehicle spares, licence plates and motorcycle art decorate the walls.

Tan and blue sections colour the living room. A distressed panel appears to crack open in front of an open flame fireplace.

Above the unusual fireplace there is a simple shelf to hold media items under a wall mounted tv.

A black glass coffee table reflects light from the window.

The kitchen area doubles as a dining room.

Four stools huddle around a square island. An arrangement of exposed bulbs are suspended as industrial style lighting.

Wooden kitchen countertops match the sides of the dining platform.

A textured feature wall backs the one wall kitchen.

Four Inspirational Small Interiors Ranging From Chill to Tres Chic!

If you’re seeking out inspo to beautify small living spaces, these four dinky apartment interiors are spilling over with stunning ideas that will make you feel like you’re living large. You can grab ideas for well proportioned furniture, neat layouts and confident colour schemes from this little lot, each skillfully visualised by Luxibu Lu. There’s particular attention to shoe-horning in the maximum number of bedroom and open plan studio sleep spaces in these apartments, along with a couple of stunning glass bedroom ideas. Be sure to check out the beautiful bespoke closets too, plus super smart kitchen installations and a whole load of gorgeous lighting.

Pushing off with design number one, we’re given a warm welcome with a blush pink living room. The rug reads “Home Sweet Home”, and it certainly is, with its cute pink two seater sofa and matching floor lamp. The soft wall colour is weighted down by charcoal wainscot around the lower half. Artwork by Erkin Demir brings some of the shadowy tone upwards and gives the room some edge.

The outline of a round dining table is echoed by a round woven rug design, which has been laid out off centre to shake things up. Also note how the table and two chairs are pushed up against banquet seating to accommodate extra diners without taking up more floor space. A shelf above the banquet bench is utilised for both table items and decorative effect.

The charcoal wall panelling wraps the sides of the banquet dining bench, which keeps the length of the room looking streamlined. On the other side of the living room, a glass wall bedroom sweeps in with curved glass panes.

A grey L-shaped kitchen completes the living space. A natural timber backsplash is sandwiched between dark base units and white upper cabinets.

A floral theme is painted in a black and white wall mural in the home entryway. Indoor plants soften the transition from solid living room wall to the curvaceous glass bedroom wall. A separate arched set of glass doors lead to the second bedroom.

Inside the master bedroom there is a wall of bespoke closets, painted grey along a line of top cabinets, and white across the rest.

Looking around to the headboard wall, we see a pink bedroom design with natural accents. The colour scheme is in-keeping with the living room since each space can be viewed from the other through the glass.

The second bedroom is painted solid purple where it is tucked out of view from its glass doors, making it a cosy little nook.

The bathroom is accessed via an arched doorway in the master bedroom. A guest powder room is located by the front door.

Design two is all about shades of grey, natural accents and a touch of living greenery. A black swing arm wall lamp peers over a grey couch with contrasting cushions. A grey pouf is pulled up to a natural wood round coffee table, which complements the wooden legs of the lounge seating.

Glass bricks build a suggestion of a hallway to the bedrooms and bathroom in the small apartment.

A plant stand grows an extra dividing technique. In the dining area, a natural woven pendant light shade hangs heavily over a wood top dining table. See more stylish dining room pendant lights.

Louvre doors shield storage by the front door.

Floating wall shelves provide practical decoration.

A wooden TV cabinet warms the look of a plain white TV wall.

The grey and white kitchen stands separately to the lounge and dining room, with plentiful light coming through a large window.

Inside the children’s room the kids’ beds look like an adventure to climb, with a cute mountain mural peaking along the top bunk.

Wooden decorative wall hooks and a wood clock hang on the walls. More wooden wall clocks here.

A lion rug brings a sunny smile.

Apartment design number three is a highly sophisticated affair with a classically inspired tufted sofa and chic traditional wall panelling.

Arched doorways and wall panels inspire curvy furniture and mirror choices, as well as a globe pendant light installation.

The TV is mounted right up alongside the smart kitchen, by a set of open kitchen shelves on marble tile.

Heavy curtains swag at the windows.

More wall panelling makes its way around the bedroom, where it frames a modern wall sconce.

Two double beds squeeze side by side into the modest room, each identically clothed.

Classic and modern pieces build a wonderfully transitional bedroom decor scheme. The master bedroom has an asymmetrical shape, where a small side table and alluring pendant light fit into its longest point. More bedroom pendant lights here.

The muted colour palette draws you in and quietens the mind.

Finally, our fourth apartment design is a cool grey creation with occasional splashes of blue.

We find another gorgeous glass bedroom design here, this time with straight sliding doors.

The dining room is seated right outside of the bedroom, with a monochrome cloudscape mural.

A black metal and wood table is teamed with two colours of Gubi Beetle chair.

Unique kitchen pendant lights dangle over a neat kitchen island, which is centred in the floor space of an L-shaped grey kitchen arrangement.

Inside the grey bedroom, a white bedspread, faux fur rug, chair and white tipped ceiling fan lighten things up.

A dressing table occupies the gap between the bed and the glass wall, buffering the bed from the dining area.

Bespoke closets and bookshelves line the opposite wall.

Simply stunning geometric tiles add character to the black bathroom, where they cut into a wall of white metro tile.

The large TV becomes almost camouflaged against its dark backdrop.

Tucked a little back from dining area, there is a studio sleep space.

The open plan bedroom has its own identity entirely, with two-tone pink and deep blue-grey walls.

The charcoal wall panelling wraps the sides of the banquet dining bench, which keeps the length of the room looking streamlined. On the other side of the living room, a glass wall bedroom sweeps in with curved glass panes.

A grey L-shaped kitchen completes the living space. A natural timber backsplash is sandwiched between dark base units and white upper cabinets.

A floral theme is painted in a black and white wall mural in the home entryway. Indoor plants soften the transition from solid living room wall to the curvaceous glass bedroom wall. A separate arched set of glass doors lead to the second bedroom.

Inside the master bedroom there is a wall of bespoke closets, painted grey along a line of top cabinets, and white across the rest.

Looking around to the headboard wall, we see a pink bedroom design with natural accents. The colour scheme is in-keeping with the living room since each space can be viewed from the other through the glass.

The second bedroom is painted solid purple where it is tucked out of view from its glass doors, making it a cosy little nook.

The bathroom is accessed via an arched doorway in the master bedroom. A guest powder room is located by the front door.

Design two is all about shades of grey, natural accents and a touch of living greenery. A black swing arm wall lamp peers over a grey couch with contrasting cushions. A grey pouf is pulled up to a natural wood round coffee table, which complements the wooden legs of the lounge seating.

Glass bricks build a suggestion of a hallway to the bedrooms and bathroom in the small apartment.

A plant stand grows an extra dividing technique. In the dining area, a natural woven pendant light shade hangs heavily over a wood top dining table. See more stylish dining room pendant lights.

Louvre doors shield storage by the front door.

Floating wall shelves provide practical decoration.

A wooden TV cabinet warms the look of a plain white TV wall.

The grey and white kitchen stands separately to the lounge and dining room, with plentiful light coming through a large window.

Inside the children’s room the kids’ beds look like an adventure to climb, with a cute mountain mural peaking along the top bunk.

Wooden decorative wall hooks and a wood clock hang on the walls. More wooden wall clocks here.

A lion rug brings a sunny smile.

Apartment design number three is a highly sophisticated affair with a classically inspired tufted sofa and chic traditional wall panelling.

Arched doorways and wall panels inspire curvy furniture and mirror choices, as well as a globe pendant light installation.

The TV is mounted right up alongside the smart kitchen, by a set of open kitchen shelves on marble tile.

Heavy curtains swag at the windows.

More wall panelling makes its way around the bedroom, where it frames a modern wall sconce.

Two double beds squeeze side by side into the modest room, each identically clothed.

Classic and modern pieces build a wonderfully transitional bedroom decor scheme. The master bedroom has an asymmetrical shape, where a small side table and alluring pendant light fit into its longest point. More bedroom pendant lights here.

The muted colour palette draws you in and quietens the mind.

Finally, our fourth apartment design is a cool grey creation with occasional splashes of blue.

We find another gorgeous glass bedroom design here, this time with straight sliding doors.

The dining room is seated right outside of the bedroom, with a monochrome cloudscape mural.

A black metal and wood table is teamed with two colours of Gubi Beetle chair.

Unique kitchen pendant lights dangle over a neat kitchen island, which is centred in the floor space of an L-shaped grey kitchen arrangement.

Inside the grey bedroom, a white bedspread, faux fur rug, chair and white tipped ceiling fan lighten things up.

A dressing table occupies the gap between the bed and the glass wall, buffering the bed from the dining area.

Bespoke closets and bookshelves line the opposite wall.

Simply stunning geometric tiles add character to the black bathroom, where they cut into a wall of white metro tile.

The large TV becomes almost camouflaged against its dark backdrop.

Tucked a little back from dining area, there is a studio sleep space.

The open plan bedroom has its own identity entirely, with two-tone pink and deep blue-grey walls.

4 Apartments That Turn Up The Dial On Industrial Style

Industrial chic interior design doesn’t have to be stark and grey. The industrial vibe can be warm and rich – whether that comes via glowy lighting schemes, chic home accessories or unique decor touches that’s up to you. We’ve gathered together four apartment designs that turn up the dial on industrial style, each pushing a different envelope in how to make a house into a home. You’ll also find inspiration for how to introduce art into an industrial home interior and some smart layouts for living spaces on different sized scales. Find stylish cosy furniture to counteract cool concrete walls and fabulous ideas for lighting installations.

Visualizer: leqb Architects   The industrial home decor in apartment number one is cut through by strips of light, tracked across the ceiling and pushing up over concrete walls.

Striking artwork colours a raw concrete wall. A patterned rug adds movement to the floor area beneath a sleek black lounge chair.

A ceiling mounted fireplace descends in the centre of the open plan space, between the lounge and a kitchen diner. You can find more gorgeous fireplaces here.

Black kitchen units have been teamed with a wraparound concrete kitchen island counter, which matches the polished concrete floor.

One side of the central island is utilised as the eating area. A row of kitchen bar stools stand on industrial style metal legs beneath the fiery glow of unique kitchen pendant lights. Behind the island, integrated appliances fit into one whole wall of black kitchen cabinets.

A Seletti Monkey Lamp swings by the window, over a distressed teal storage chest. The novelty lamp is reflected in the glass of a huge gilt framed mirror propped casually in the corner.

Inside the master bedroom there is a home office area with a computer desk and bookshelves. A metal fence-like detail runs along the top of the desk and along the top of the adjacent headboard. Find more industrial bedrooms here.

Wirework decorates the structure of a beautifully designed desk chair too. A metal swing arm wall lamp extends above a Sitting monkey lamp.

An industrial style bedroom pendant light illuminates the opposite side of the double bed.

The bathroom contains more examples of wirework decor, as a feature wall behind the vanity mirror and as cupboard doors above the toilet. The metal fencing effect and concrete walls provide all that is needed to nail an industrial bathroom look; the rest of the decor is beautiful natural wood and slick modern fittings.

An open shelving unit provides ample storage for towels and toiletries.

Soft perimeter lighting makes the industrial styled shower enclosure appear warm and inviting.

Floor plan illustrating the strategic positioning of the ceiling mounted fireplace to warm both the lounge and kitchen diner.

Plan of the bedroom mezzanine level.

Visualizer: Dasha Makushova   Next up, we have a studio apartment with a glass wall bedroom design. The glass only just slots between the foot of the bed and the arm of the living room sofa.

The grey sofa looks upon a tv console unit, which somewhat separates the lounge from the dining area.

An L-shaped kitchen runs around the dining suite.

A wine cooler glows in amongst black kitchen cabinets. The dark units contrast boldly with a light wood effect floor.

Grey concrete and black tinted walls make up the textured decor in the bedroom. An upholstered bed provides some softer edges.

A walk-in closet is positioned behind the headboard wall in the bedroom. Spotlights and strip lights provide illumination.

Visualizer: 3DM Studio   Our third tour takes place in a monochrome and natural wood industrial style interior, where a grey brick wall living room is enlivened with a cascade of indoor plants.

A swing arm wall lamp has been positioned right by an extraordinary wall treatment. A herringbone arrangement of wood planks creates a zigzagged edge up the full height of the room. The unique decor feature continues all the way over the floor too.

At the edge of the geometric cut floor design, two swivel bar stools are seated at a kitchen island.

One end of the kitchen island is cradled by iron bars that extend to the ceiling.

Behind the central island, grey wood grain cabinets make up the rest of the kitchen.

Storage units at the edge of the room are chamfered into angular shapes to tie in with the geometric theme.

Herringbone tile patterns the bathroom floor and clads its walls. A black double sink bathroom vanity draws on the dark shades in the ceramic.

Light wood vanity cupboards and an unusual wooden shower enclosure lighten up the bathroom decor scheme.

The geometric cut wall cladding makes a return as part of the bedroom decor. Slender bedside table lamps shine on top of wire frames.

The softness of the upholstered bed counteracts a rough brickwork feature wall.

Visualizer: Belogurova Dorofeeva   Finally, our last industrial style home is a cosy pad with a definite ‘rev-head’ flavour.

Motor vehicle spares, licence plates and motorcycle art decorate the walls.

Tan and blue sections colour the living room. A distressed panel appears to crack open in front of an open flame fireplace.

Above the unusual fireplace there is a simple shelf to hold media items under a wall mounted tv.

A black glass coffee table reflects light from the window.

The kitchen area doubles as a dining room.

Four stools huddle around a square island. An arrangement of exposed bulbs are suspended as industrial style lighting.

Wooden kitchen countertops match the sides of the dining platform.

A textured feature wall backs the one wall kitchen.

Industrial Style Dining Room Design: The Essential Guide

Do you love industrial decor? Are you thinking about giving your dining room a fresh modern makeover? This guide is for you! Enjoy this tour of 40 stylish industrial dining rooms to find color schemes, furniture sources, material inspiration, and everything you need to start putting together a plan for your next big redesign. Or, if you’re already lucky enough to have the industrial dining room of your dreams, you just might find a few fresh ideas to complete the look. With so many different takes on industrial decor, there’s a little something here for everybody. Which dining room design is your favorite?

Visualizer: Alexander Uglyanitsa   While industrial decor can sometimes make an interior look rustic, this dining room keeps things modern by starting with simple contemporary chairs and a minimalist table. Then, it pushes into industrial territory with smart accessories like a repurposed propeller and a unique dome pendant with a gritty rusted finish – the spherical mesh pendants to the left tie the two aesthetics together.

Visualizer: Alexander Uglyanitsa   Most surfaces remain simple to allow the distressed copper and natural wood accents to really “pop”.

Visualizer: Dattran   Here’s a handsome dining room that plays off the exposed brick already present. Metal dining armchairs preserve comfort stay on-theme with industrial flair, while the modern table feels very natural and easily adaptable to other themes. Stylish green shelving contrasts against the multiple red elements throughout the room. Of course, repurposed barn lighting is always a good addition to any industrial interior – two similar models are available here and here.

Visualizer: Dmitry Tisnoguz   This dining room goes eclectic with its industrial decor by mixing and matching red metal armchairs and Ludovica Palomba’s Sunrise Easychair. The wood and concrete pendant lights are a great streamlined alternative to the bulkier models that are popular in industrial-inspired spaces.

Visualizer: A+Z Studio   Mixing industrial decor with distressed rustic elements is a great way to create a rugged farmhouse vibe. Vintage wood furniture and beat-up steel chairs are a great place to start.

Visualizer: Dimitar Karanikolov & Veneta Nikolova   Leather is an oft-overlooked material that works great in industrial interiors. These leather upholstered chairs are from the Roadhouse collection from CB2. The slate-colored concrete, exposed brick, and heavy-looking wood are staples that look great in any interior with this theme.

Visualizer: Algimantas Raubiška   Looking for more leather chairs? These are attributed to French architect Charlotte Perriand. Transparent glass jar pendants give off a strong industrial vibe without visually weighing down the room – and the good news is that there are plenty of relatively inexpensive options available online.

Visualizer: Denis Krasikov   Glass and concrete make for an especially luxurious theme. The only possible downside is the lack of color – easily addressed here with a set of smooth blue dining chairs by designer Hee Welling.

Visualizer: Mihail Scherbak & Timothy Kalakutsky   Here’s another interior with a cohesive color palette shaken up by a vivid accent. While most of the metal dining chairs blend into the environment with a black and wood finish, a single bright yellow chair stands out as a focal point.

Visualizer: Ando Studio   Strong accents are invaluable to cohesive decor themes. This striking adjustable chandelier is called Dear Ingo, the work of designer Ron Gilad.

Visualizer: Koj Design   Drawing from a variety of influences is a great way to create a balanced industrial style that still feels homey. This designer chose to go mid-century modern at the head of the table with an Eames-inspired armchair. The series of shapely pendant lights are Tom Dixon’s iconic Beat Lamps, a very contemporary selection.

Visualizer: Koj Design   You’ll see them again and again because they’re such a versatile choice for anybody looking to create an industrial interior aesthetic – stools and a chair inspired by Tolix-style seating line one edge of the table to great effect.

Visualizer: Martins Architects   This interior makes great use of matte textures. Serving as a source of contrast, the Tolix-style chairs boast a bright metallic finish.

Visualizer: Nordes   Craving more interiors that use Tolix-inspired seating? While it’s possible to find similar red metal chairs on the market, it’s even easier to decorate your own at home with a can of durable spray paint.

Visualizer: Nordes   The table is a little harder to find. Industrial crank tables like these require some thorough hunting but they’ll last forever once you find one.

Visualizer: Oliver Burns   While the rest of the room seems simple, fresh, and modern, the dining arrangement itself stands out with strong industrial influence. The unique pendant chandelier and the mixture of chairs matches the eclectic nature of the open shelving.

Designer: Dmitry Sheleg & Zrobym Architects   Need more chair inspiration? This ultra-modern industrial dining room features Tolix-inspired metal chairs, Eames molded plastic armchairs, and Eames Wire chairs. Illuminating the arrangement from above are white industrial pendant lights from the Lampara collection by Archivio Storico.

Visualizer: Javier Wainstein   Here’s another dining room that uses Tolix style metal armchairs. The designer seating collection by Patricia Urquiola.

Visualizer: Anton Medvedev   Sometimes a touch of non-industrial style is a nice way to lighten a theme. These gorgeous woven chairs are another Patricia Urquiola design, this time from the unique Tropicalia collection.

Visualizer: Form 8 Studio   Mid-century modern designs are a great way to add classic comfort to an otherwise stark interior. These iconic dining chairs were inspired by the famous Wishbone Chair by Hans Wegner.

Designer: 2B Group   Now let’s look at a few industrial interiors that make good use of unconventional materials. This chalkboard wall is a fun and practical touch that looks fabulous even without the writing and illustrations.

Visualizer: Nudesign   Eclectic tiles aren’t a common staple of industrial decor, but they play a crucial role making this space look playful and bright. The blue and red tones unite elements like the metal chairs and brick-colored sofa.

Visualizer: Lyubimova Kate    Here, unfinished wooden boards serve as an attractive covering for the shelves and add a neat rustic touch. The contemporary chairs stray far from rustic – the sleek dark brown dining chairs are from the Ginger collection by Roberto Lazzeroni.

Visualizer: Javier Wainstein   Ample concrete, a marble backsplash, a sturdy wooden table, and molded plastic chairs cover a wide range of material options – each one suitable for a stylish industrial interior.

Visualizer: Javier Wainstein   Industrial decor often falls on the side of heavy, rugged, and weighty design. These translucent dining chairs stand in contrast to the aesthetic the rest of the dining room carries.

Visualizer: Double Aye   Next, let’s move on to industrial dining rooms that make their mark with unique furniture selections. This incredibly unique industrial table is available ready-to-stain to match your interior. The woven side chair to the left is more widely available – it’s a design by Eric Trine.

Visualizer: Int2 Architecture   Although all of these chairs are relatively common and easy to find, the eclectic combination is what makes them uniquely suited to an industrial dining room. One is an acrylic take on the classic Eames side chair, one is a classic white Eames chair, the red metal armchair is the familiar Tolix design, and the white bentwood chair was inspired by Thonet.

Visualizer: ReFL Studio   A little bit of spray paint and sandpaper can take any wood or metal chair from ordinary to on-theme. The table is a little more difficult but similar industrial dining tables are available online.

Visualizer: Koj Design   Unique statement pieces can also be a great way to impart your industrial dining room with a more specific motif, like the chandelier that gives this space a distinct Art Deco vibe.

Visualizer: Koj Design   With relevant artwork and accessories that allude to fashion, this dining room is perfect for the devoted Francophile. While the metal chairs and pendant lights are easily found online, the coatrack would make a great DIY project if you can find a mannequin dress form to start with.

Visualizer: Catherine Domracheva   Some people avoid exploring industrial decor themes because of the perceived lack of color. But that isn’t always the case! These bright pillows add tremendous character to the room. Lemons on the dining table draw out the yellow, but the same effect could be gained by fresh flowers or a nice fruit bowl.

Visualizer: Alex Koretsky   Darker hues can lend a sophisticated touch. The deep plumb and carmine work well with the exposed brick and the cool-hued dark grey cabinetry.

Designer: Ivan Yunakov   Don’t be afraid to go big! This brilliant blue upholstery influences the atmosphere of the entire room. Industrial decor doesn’t have to be minimalist.

Visualizer: Rue Temple   Aren’t chalkboard walls so much fun? They’re also a good way to add impromptu color – a new theme every day! The black table and Eames style chairs go with everything.

Visualizer: Yo Dezeen   Plants are always an easy way to add color. Paired with wood, they can make any interior style feel fresh and natural.

Designer: Bricks Amsterdam   Texture is another great tool for creating an industrial theme. Here, the concrete on the leftmost portion of wall adds a touch of relaxing blue and provides a rugged aesthetic to the space.

Visualizer: Int2 Architecture   Dark matte-textured walls like these do make the environment look darker, but tend to look a lot “softer” and more comfortable than the standard concrete so common in industrial interiors.

Visualizer: Javier Wainstein   Brushed steel is another interesting material choice to get that industrial look. This kitchen is as gorgeous as it is practical.

Visualizer: Pix 3D Studio   Don’t have the resources for concrete finished walls, but still want to show off the material? Consider investing in concrete pendant lights, planters, or other cool accessories. And if you’ve been looking for a metal chair with a more modern look, this Eames-inspired wire chair is a great pick.

Visualizer: Andew Sadokha   And finally, let’s close out the post with a home that combines industrial interior architecture with a sophisticated contemporary decor theme. The pendant light is a show-stopping centerpiece – a design by Lindsey Adelman.

Concrete Wall Designs: 30 Striking Bedrooms That Use Concrete Finish Artfully

While concrete may not be the first thought that comes to mind for a traditionally warm and cozy bedroom environment, this material is far more aesthetically flexible than many would imagine. And the 30 bedrooms highlighted in this post are a great example! Ranging from minimalist to industrial, ultra-modern to eclectic, each of these bedrooms express a completely different personality through concrete. Have you been thinking about adding a bedroom accent wall or renovating for a more modern look? Check out these images for unique finishes and configurations to pull of the look.

Visualizer: Archiplastica   Let’s start with something out of the ordinary! Two sturdy concrete pillars perfectly frame the bed and the gorgeous geometric mosaic that backs the headboard.

Visualizer: Lucas Studio    Bold disc-shaped impressions give even more depth to this eye-catching interior wall. The combination of rugged finish and smooth geometry

Designer: Albert Abutov   Amazing! This material is unlike any other – translucent concrete gains its ethereal properties from embedded optical fibers that easily transmit light through an otherwise impenetrable material.

Visualizer: Fly Design Studio    Here, brushed concrete captures the light of the nearby pendants to increase its warmth and textural appeal, all without departing from clean minimalism.

Visualizer: Anwar Al Jufrey Khalid    Bedrooms are rarely heavy on concrete but this one pulls it off fantastically. Roughhewn wood serves as an organic counterbalance and helps pull the outdoors in.

Visualizer: Roman Pravnik    Wood and concrete again make a fabulous pairing in this handsome bedroom inspired by industrial decor. An oversized pendant and plush leather headboard introduce a hint of luxury to the composition.

Visualizer: Anna Fedyukina    Concrete changes character depending on its material complements. The smooth texture and lightness of these wood details contribute to a purely contemporary look that strays from the roughness of the previous industrial themes.

Visualizer: KDVA Architects    Even ordinary minimally finished concrete can make a big impression with a little smart embellishment. This accent wall includes a strip of integrated lighting to boost its appeal.

Visualizer: Kyde Architects    Because concrete is often perceived as dark, harsh, or unwelcoming, lighting additions like these can make a world of difference.

Visualizer: Yovo Bozhinovski    Of course, there are big ways to embellish concrete as well! A little stain and an artistic eye can transform this rigid material into a versatile canvas for expression.

Visualizer: Olesya Ligay    Another way that concrete excels is as a neutral backdrop for a dramatic focal point, like this dimpled wall panel.

Visualizer: Abdullah Taranov    Tilted and lighted panels make up the headboard wall for this room. The entire surrounding structure is smoothed over with light concrete to avoid overwhelming the unique panel installation.

Visualizer: Buro 82    This panel installation uses a similar arrangement, but this time both surfaces feature a concrete texture. Do you love the integrated lighting? Check out our bedroom lighting ideas post for more inspiration!

Visualizer: Ilya Leg4atov    Artwork is another fantastic way to dress up a stark concrete finish. This neutral bedroom just wouldn’t be the same without the blue lighthouse prints hung above the bed.

Visualizer: Harun Kaymaz    This print serves an important purpose by lightening an otherwise dark composition. Mid-toned concrete adds depth to the bed’s niche while the white painting pushes outward and grabs attention.

Visualizer: Yazan Samsam    In a room defined by grey concrete, color becomes even more powerful as a decor tool. Artwork and architectural details blend into the background allowing furniture and accessories to shine brightly.

Visualizer: Maxim Zhukov    Here’s another space where vivid color stands out. Check out our profile of this casual loft style home for more photos and information – the entire residence is worth exploring if you’re curious about a unique spin on industrial decor.

Visualizer: Alex Koretsky    Purple and blue soften the aesthetic of this bedroom with ease. Concrete has a reputation as a rugged material, but here its strength takes on richer nuances.

Visualizer: Zooi Design    Darker concrete is a great backdrop for highly saturated colors like these tangerine orange accents.

Visualizer: M3   Now let’s look at a few different decor themes that lend themselves well (or even surprisingly well) to concrete walls. Minimalism is an obvious choice, as depicted in this bright and sunny bedroom.

Visualizer: he.D creative group    Concrete is a go-to for industrial themes as well.

Visualizer: KeremmucuR   Concrete may set the scene but the textiles and prints set the mood where this strong industrial setting meets the whimsy of nautical decor.

Visualizer: Albert Mizuno    Low bed platforms are a popular choice for modernist bedrooms, especially the ones influenced by traditional Japanese and Korean design. The contrast between modern design and traditional inspiration strikes quite a contrast in this fully concrete bedroom.

Visualizer: Cleer Design Studio    Here’s another interesting combination – modern concrete walls with vintage-inspired furniture. It also has a low-profile bed (perfect to show off the large artwork at the headboard) – if you’re interested in seeing more sleeping arrangements like this, check out our post dedicated entirely to bedrooms with low level beds.

Geometric patterns have been a hot design statement in super-modern homes, Scandinavian-inspired homes, and a few other styles. These concrete tiles are a beautiful example.

Visualizer: Annete Manuilova    Contemporary stripes, white wooden wall paneling, and soft colors give this bedroom a lot of casual chic appeal. The stunning concrete accent behind the bed is an unexpected and effective way to update the theme for today’s tastes.

Visualizer: Mitaka Dimov    Now let’s take a look at a few finishing techniques, starting with something quite unique! The decorative herringbone scoring adds an artistic element to the distressed concrete accent wall.

Visualizer: Kola Studio    Vertical scores of pocked concrete help create the illusion of wood wall panels with a rugged industrial edge – just one of many ways to bring substantial character to concrete walls.

Visualizer: Anjey Babych    Here’s an example of two concrete finishes in one room. Vertical broom finish makes the walls appear taller, while the ceiling sections alternate for a balanced look.

Visualizer: Diff Studio    Dark textural finishes are great for sultry minimalist bedrooms like this. See more minimalist bedrooms – with and without concrete – at our minimalist bedrooms post.
