How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your pool area 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.
- 3Fence to local code - typically 1.2 meters minimum with self-closing, self-latching gates - before any cosmetic work.
- 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
- Choosing smooth tile or polished stone decking that becomes dangerously slippery when wet.
- Planting deciduous trees or messy flowering shrubs beside the water, feeding the skimmer forever.
- Skimping on fence height or gate hardware - pool barriers are legal code, not decoration.
Budget tips
- Resurface tired concrete decking with a textured overlay instead of demolition - roughly half the cost of replacement.
- Use large planters with grasses and agaves for instant resort planting without landscape contractor pricing.
- Add solar-powered deck and path lights; pool zones often lack convenient outlets.
FAQ
Does Industrial work in a pool area?
Yes, with adaptation. Industrial is not the most common choice for a pool area, 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 pool area?
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.
