6. INDUSTRIAL INTERIOR DESIGN
Industrial interior design is popular for decorating lofts and old buildings converted into living spaces, although it can be used for traditional apartments and houses too. What you need for this style is to create an illusion of rough surfaces and materials that suggest an industrial past. Your color palette should steer clear of bright, bold colors; instead you should look for warm, neutral tones to fill your space. Shades and tones of gray work well when mixed with white to add a crisp, clean look. Exposed bricks, steel beams or columns, exposed concrete, unfinished wood, and stainless steel work well for this style. Walls should also incorporate large pieces of art. The most used floor option for an industrial style is polished concrete.
It can be as rough and patchy as you want it to be. Timber or stone flooring are also good finishes that will help you achieve the industrial look.You should find big comfortable sofas and large scatter cushions to work alongside ‘industrial’ artwork and accent pieces. Plants will also inject life and color into any environment so look for a few really great large leaf plants and some significant pots to house them. Free standing floor lamps in a metal finish are a great source of lighting for this look.

Southwestern interior design mainly captures the environment and heritage of the New Mexico and Arizona areas. Natural elements and colors and accents inspired by the Spaniards, Mexicans and Native American Indians are distinctive of Southwestern interior design. Flat roofs, open floor plans and extensive courtyards and gardens are hallmarks of a Southwestern home. For the colours, Earthy tones in terra cotta, brown, tan, cream and white set the stage for the bright pops of color brought in through plants and Native American Indian-inspired accents and textiles. furniture Should be simple, unpretentious and made from natural elements. Rough-hewn wood with decorative carvings, natural textile coverings and soft leather are all acceptable choices. Southwestern interior design generally uses adobe exteriors, and interior walls are roughly plastered over the adobe.
Stucco or smooth stone can be used in its place. Hand-painted tiles lend color and warmth to otherwise drab walls, and are frequently used to cover kitchen back-splashes or as individual accents throughout the house. Terracotta tiles, usually honey-colored, are the most common flooring material in Southwestern decorating. Use natural accents to decorate your home.
