How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your home office 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.
- 3Use a desk at least 120x60 cm; 140 cm wide or more if you run dual monitors.
- 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
- Facing the window directly, so you squint all morning and appear as a silhouette on calls.
- Working long-term from a dining chair, which costs your back far more than a proper chair costs your wallet.
- Relying on a single ceiling light, which creates screen glare and tired eyes by afternoon.
Budget tips
- Repurpose a sturdy dining table or second-hand desk before buying new - surface matters more than brand.
- Spend your budget on the chair first; a used ergonomic chair beats a new cheap one at the same price.
- Add a monitor arm and laptop stand to reclaim desk space for under fifty dollars.
