How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your garage 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.
- 3Keep a 90 cm clear path from the house door to the car door - the route you walk daily.
- 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
- Storing everything on the floor, which shrinks the usable room and hides what you own.
- Buying storage bins before decluttering, so you organize items you should have donated.
- Leaving the single bare bulb, so half the room stays too dark to work in.
Budget tips
- Declutter first - most garages hold far more than anyone uses, and selling the extras helps fund the shelving.
- Pegboard is the cheapest wall storage that exists and takes an afternoon to install.
- Buy second-hand metal cabinets and workbenches; garage furniture does not need to be pretty or new.
FAQ
Does Industrial work in a garage?
Yes — Industrial is one of the best-suited styles for a garage. Its exposed red brick and brick red base palette fit the way this space is used. Keep the room's function first and let the style come through in finishes and textiles.
What colors should I use for a Industrial garage?
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.
Can I see my own garage in Industrial style before committing?
Yes. Take a photo of your garage in the RivAI iPhone app, choose the Industrial style, and you get a photorealistic preview in about 30 seconds on the Standard tier. RivAI is free to try, so you can compare Industrial with a few other styles before you buy paint or furniture.
How do I get industrial style in a regular apartment without a loft?
Focus on materials, not architecture: a metal-and-wood shelving unit, Edison bulb pendants, a leather sofa and one brick or limewashed accent wall create the look in any room. Keep finishes matte and dark - charcoal (#3B3B3B) and tobacco brown (#7A5230) do most of the work.
