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 – a unique divergence from the typical metal wall art style. A unique dome pendant with a gritty rusted finish adds rich texture, and the spherical mesh pendants to the left tie the two aesthetics together.
Most surfaces remain simple to allow the distressed copper and natural wood accents to really “pop”. Who knew humble pipes could serve as dining room wall decor!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Strong accents are invaluable to cohesive decor themes. This striking adjustable chandelier is called Dear Ingo, the work of designer Ron Gilad.
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.
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.
This interior makes great use of matte textures. Serving as a source of contrast, the Tolix-style chairs boast a bright metallic finish.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
