How to arrange an interior in the Sleek Industrial style? What exactly is this style? We present 5 things that are necessary when creating such an interior.
Sleek Industrial — - the ever-popular loft style got a new look. The rawness and spaciousness of industrial interiors is broken with chic elements, including wood and chrome, and cozy accessories. However, concrete and minimalist forms are still used here.
Raw elegance
In the Sleek Industrial style, the key is to maintain a balance between rawness and finesse. Typically loft materials such as concrete, brick and metal, juxtapose with warming details. Soft textiles, necessarily of the highest quality, and wood are ideal.

Subdued colors
The color palette of the „warmed loft” consists of all shades of black, white, beige and gray. Such a base goes beautifully with high-quality furnishings and elegant materials. So don't forget about glass and metal accessories such as stainless steel. Such details will perfectly complement the subdued but varied colors of the Sleek Industrial style.

Industrial pedigree
Although Sleek Industrial offers a cozier version of loft interiors, we still can't forget its industrial underpinnings. So opt for concrete, metal, glass and brick. Furniture with simple forms, devoid of unnecessary ornamentation, leaves room for the free flow of light, which makes even small rooms seem more spacious, referring to post-industrial interiors.

Stylish contrasts
A Sleek Industrial style arrangement is full of contrasts. Soft-touch materials and luxurious textiles are juxtaposed here with the austerity of industrial aesthetics. The combination of elegance and functionality creates an interior with a unique character, which will suit those who are not afraid of experimentation.

Refined details
Lighting is a key aspect of a Sleek Industrial style interior. Lamps with a simple, minimalist form give the arrangement a loft-like feel. Choose those with metal shades, long wires or exposed, traditional bulbs to create an arrangement just like a post-industrial apartment in New York or Berlin.
