We’ve
been talking to the talented folk at Killer 5 about interior design again this week, and here Samantha Simmonds, Creative Director, shares her top tips on bringing
industrial chic into your home.
“You
don’t have to live in an urban loft or rustic barn conversion to appreciate
(and lust after) the latest industrial interior trends. By focusing on simple shapes,
worn textures and raw materials, you can easily incorporate this into your home
using a few key pieces.
“Let’s
start with stripped-back lighting, this is a great way to take on the
industrial trend, and will work well in almost any room. I love this brushed-brass chandelier from Made.com but if you’re on a tight budget, this suspended
light fitting from Tesco
will make a similar statement at a fraction of the cost.
“Exposed brickwork is a trend that is set to stand
the test of time, so if you’re looking to completely transform a space, this Next wallpaper
is a fantastic way to fake the look without stripping back the plaster. Choose
between the traditional red brick for a striking feature wall or go with the
grey slate for a more country cottage feel (see how this can work in the Alban show home at Branston Leas). Accessorise with this
stunning steeple wall clock or put your personality on the wall in these Kiko glass frames, group them together in different sizes and orientations for an
individual look.
“If
you don’t fancy hanging wallpaper, these rustic storage solutions are an easier
way to incorporate the industrial trend in to your home. This John Lewis
trunk doubles as a coffee table, so ticks both the stylish and practical boxes.
While this wooden ladder shelf from Cox & Cox is the perfect display for fresh flowers
and your favourite books. Or use it to store kitchen essentials, Maison du Monde
have a selection of industrial chic tableware that would look great on the
shelf, including this traditional cast iron teapot.
“Finally,
if you want to invest, this leather loveseat from Debenhams
would be a stunning addition to your home and will distress beautifully over
time. Combine with soft furnishings, like this luxurious faux fur throw from Not On The Highstreet, to create a relaxed, cosy look.”
