Give your staircase and hallway an industrial look

The industrial style is very popular these days. This style combines tough materials such as steel and glass with vintage elements. Often dark basic colors are used, such as anthracite gray or black, combined with steel. In an industrial interior you often see a steel staircase or a robust railing to shield the stairwell. For this, you can use scaffold tubes, for example, which you can make into any shape you want with different couplings. You can paint the tubes black and add some signs of use here and there for the perfect industrial look.

An inspiring example of how to apply this

Want your staircase and hallway to really stand out? Then combine this style with colors like lemon yellow, white or rust brown. You can give the risers of your stairs an industrial look by using wood panels. First, treat these panels with different colors of paint, lightly damage them and sand them bare here and there. Then glue the panels to the existing risers. As in this staircase, where three colors were used for a striking effect.

You can achieve a lot with color and various painting techniques. On the Flinders website you can find useful tips on which colors and styles go best together. For example, you can combine a bold color with an industrial look. Think of elements like factory lighting or, as in the photo, an old vault in the hall combined with a black-gray wall. A concrete-look wall with damaged stucco also contributes to this beautiful industrial style.
