What is industrial style?

Wikipedia refers to it as

Industrial style or industrial chic refers to an aesthetic trend in interior design that takes clues from old factories and industrial spaces that in recent years have been converted to lofts and other living spaces. Components of industrial style include weathered wood, building systems, exposed brick, industrial lighting fixtures and concrete.

Therefore, industrial furniture incorporates a lot of mixed materials.

Most often, this includes metal in various forms, old weathered reclaimed wood, and live edges slabs. Metal pipes are one of the most common materials in DIY industrial furniture.

DIY Industrial Tables

I have collected some inspiring DIY industrial table ideas from around the web to inspire you to create your own piece of industrial furniture!

Almost all of these use metal in some form.

But here is a secret – you don’t have to use metal all the time!

For my West Elm inspired end table, I used strips of stainless steel contact paper to add a metallic element. Side view of DIY tiered end table
