From Mid Century Modern to Minimal, Utility have all corners of interior interest covered and have included locally sourced art (from us!) to create layer upon layer of aesthetic inspiration for your home.

Industrial interiors aren’t necessarily characterised by what’s within them, it’s more the actual space itself. A few must-haves within an industrial interior are a large open space, textural and exposed materials (especially brick) and the use of hard floors.

A large part of Industrial interiors is that they are utilitarian – designed to work, not look good – adding to their charm. Furthermore, the great thing about industrial interiors is that they can be styled however you want too. A few tips to keep an industrial and gritty feel would be to include raw, natural materials like copper and weathered wood. Size matters with industrial interiors too, don’t be afraid to go big as large statement pieces will fill the room.
