Industrial style is one of the most distinctive trends in contemporary interior design. Inspired by post-factory spaces, lofts and former production halls, it combines the rawness of materials, simplicity of forms and functionality. It is a style for people who value authenticity, minimalism and bold design solutions.
What is industrial style?
Industrial style was born in the United States in the 1950s, when abandoned factories and warehouses began to be converted into apartments. High ceilings, large windows, exposed installations and raw materials became the hallmark of this trend. Today, industrial is no longer just the domain of lofts – it successfully permeates apartments, houses, offices and commercial spaces.
Industrial interiors are characterized by open space, a limited number of partition walls and the dominance of natural and technical materials such as concrete, brick, metal and wood. The colour scheme is based on shades of grey, black, brown and beige.
Key elements of industrial style arrangement
Industrial is a style based on a coherent concept where every element of the interior has its aesthetic and functional justification. Raw brick walls, concrete ceilings, metal structures and minimalist furniture with simple lines play an important role.
Vinyl flooring as the foundation of industrial style
In industrial interiors, the floor should emphasize the raw character of the space while ensuring comfort of use. Vinyl floors stand out with high resistance to abrasion, moisture and mechanical damage. Thanks to modern production technologies, they can faithfully reproduce the appearance of concrete, wood, stone or metal.
Vinyl panels – practical and stylish solution
Vinyl panels are one of the most popular flooring materials for industrial interiors. Modern VinylTechLab vinyl panels offer a wide range of patterns and structures that perfectly fit the industrial aesthetic – from decors imitating raw concrete to natural wood with expressive grain.
Herringbone vinyl panels – industrial elegance with character
Although industrial style is mainly associated with simplicity and minimalism, more refined arrangement solutions are increasingly appearing. VTL herringbone vinyl panels are a proposition for those who want to give their industrial interior exceptional character. The herringbone pattern introduces dynamics and elegance while harmonizing perfectly with raw decor elements.
How to choose vinyl panels for industrial style?
Choosing the right vinyl panels for an industrial interior should consider:
- cool shades of grey, graphite and anthracite referencing concrete and metal
- decors imitating aged wood in brown and oak shades
- wide planks emphasizing the modern character of the interior
- herringbone vinyl panels introducing an element of classic elegance
- glue-down vinyl panels ensuring exceptional durability in intensively used spaces
Industrial in practice – arrangement inspirations
In a loft living room, vinyl flooring imitating concrete perfectly emphasizes the raw character of the space. In an industrial bedroom, herringbone vinyl panels in natural wood shades introduce cosiness and elegance. In an open kitchen, glue-down vinyl panels provide resistance to moisture and dirt.
