How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your bathroom in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Brick Red (#9E4A3A) for exposed brick walls.
- 3Choose floor tile rated R10 or higher for slip resistance in wet areas.
- 4Bring in exposed red brick and raw and blackened steel — the two signature materials of Industrial design.
- 5Add one statement piece: leather chesterfield or track-arm sofa.
- 6Finish with tobacco brown (#7A5230) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Exposed red brick
- Raw and blackened steel
- Reclaimed timber and plank wood
- Polished or sealed concrete
- Aged cognac leather
Furniture to look for
- Leather Chesterfield or track-arm sofa
- Metal-and-wood shelving unit
- Factory cart coffee table on casters
- Pipe-framed desk or dining table
- Edison bulb pendant cluster
Mistakes to avoid
- Skipping or undersizing ventilation, which guarantees peeling paint and mold within a couple of years.
- Using more than three different tiles in one small room, which makes it feel chaotic and smaller.
- Lighting the mirror only from above, casting shadows under the eyes and chin.
Budget tips
- Regrout or reglaze existing tile instead of retiling - a professional reglaze costs a fraction of replacement.
- Keep every plumbing fixture in its current position; moving a toilet or drain is the single biggest cost driver.
- Replace the mirror, faucet and shower head together for a coordinated refresh under a few hundred dollars.
FAQ
Does Industrial work in a bathroom?
Yes, with adaptation. Industrial is not the most common choice for a bathroom, but its palette — led by Brick Red (#9E4A3A) — and materials like exposed red brick can work well if you keep the layout practical and use the style mainly in finishes and decor.
What colors should I use for a Industrial bathroom?
The core palette is Brick Red #9E4A3A, Charcoal #3B3B3B, Weathered Gray #8A8680, Tobacco Brown #7A5230, Warm Amber #D09A4A. Use Brick Red as the dominant color, Charcoal for secondary surfaces, and keep Tobacco Brown for accents only.
