Industrial style mirrors

The Industrial style is defined by raw and natural materials, like wood, metal, and stone. For architecture, it typically means elements of the house are exposed rather than hidden.

Industrial styling looks to strip back what has previously been highly decorated and instead go in the opposite direction, leaving elements bare and incorporating natural materials and simple furnishings.

Styling tips for industrial-style mirrors

Styling your industrial mirror is easy, we’ve collated a few tips to make the process as simple as can be! The industrial style is a more deconstructed version of the minimalist style, which makes it a super versatile style to work with, especially with a mirror accessory.

With the industrial mirror you have, you’ll need to decide if you’re going to hang or lean it, for a neat look consider hanging it, whereas leaning it will create a more playful appearance. Consider what the wall behind the mirror will look like, for an overarching industrial style, consider a lime wash, concrete lacquer, or exposed brick wall to be your mirror’s best friend!

When finding a colour palette to go with your industrial mirror consider what works with silver, gold or black and work from there. Silver and black typically pair best with cool tones, whilst gold best compliments warmer shades. In this circumstance, consider the warmth or coolness of your wooden furniture, finding the perfect industrial mirror can also depend on the space’s existing colour palette.

Other styles that pair well with industrial-style mirrors

The industrial style is adaptable, as both the main style of a space and as an accent through accessories. Finding the right style to couple it with is simple once combining the right elements from each.

The first style we would suggest putting together with industrial styling is the transitional style, transitional strikes a balance between traditional and modern interiors. Blending traditional elements like neutral colour palettes, luxe material furnishings and composition with the fresh feel of the contemporary style with organic shapes and pops of colour. Bringing in the industrial element adds to the modern aesthetic, utilising traditional materials in a natural/ unfinished state. Utilising an industrial mirror allows for a sleek metal element to be introduced that dismantles the completely polished aesthetic.

Alternatively, the industrial style marries well with the minimalist aesthetic. The stripped-back aesthetic of the industrial style is highly complementary to the minimalist look. The minimalist style is defined by the simplicity of design, a space doesn’t need to be saturated with items to command visual attention. By bringing in an industrial mirror into the composition there’s another design element to draw focus in whilst keeping it understated.
