25 Industrial Bedroom Ideas That Will Spruce Up Your Space

According to Decor Outdoor, industrial interior design is a product of the Industrial Revolution. This was between the 1700s and 1800s, during a time when bigger and stronger buildings were being constructed. This led to the Machine Age in the 1920s, and industrial design was often incorporated with art deco themes and other contemporary ideas. When people think of industrial interior design, they picture exposed brick, beams, pipes, rafters, vintage accessories, and distressed finishes.

This interior design theme can easily be incorporated into your bedroom, whether it's through wallpaper or other material, to create the illusion of a 1920s building. It's also a great design choice for you if you like neutrals mixed with pops of color, as well as clean, straight lines, per Vevano Home.
