RUSTIC COSMOPOLITAN
This industrial chic style New York apartment is a showcase of smart design combined with urban aesthetics. The multilevel flat offers a continual extended living space spread over four floors, each space connected to the next by industrial-style metal staircases. The home was designed as an open-plan living space. Throughout the home, gray or dark wood floors have been used to enhance the concrete and brick walls, design pieces and quirky object. The varying textures of wood, leather, concrete, carpet and linen keep the effect interesting.
FLOORS IN THIS INTERIOR STYLE
Industrial chic design blends raw, unfinished elements with sleek, modern touches to create a unique, edgy aesthetic. This style often features exposed brick, visible ductwork, metal accents, and minimalist furniture, evoking the feel of repurposed warehouses or loft spaces. Hardwood flooring plays a vital role in achieving this look, offering a warm contrast to the coolness of metal and concrete. Wide-plank, distressed hardwood with a matte finish enhances the rugged, authentic feel of industrial chic spaces. The natural grain and texture of the wood add character and warmth, balancing the utilitarian aspects of the design.
Rich, dark-toned hardwood floors can create a dramatic foundation, adding depth and sophistication, while lighter, weathered hues can provide a more airy and open feel. The versatility of hardwood allows it to complement various industrial chic elements, from metal and leather furniture to vintage accessories and bold art pieces. Additionally, hardwood flooring is durable and timeless, making it a practical choice for high-traffic areas often found in industrial-style homes. Whether used in a living room, kitchen, or bedroom, hardwood floors seamlessly blend with the industrial chic aesthetic, grounding the space and creating a cohesive and inviting environment.
