Industrial bathroom ideas

An industrial bathroom borrows from the workshop: black steel, reclaimed wood, filament bulbs and towels in dark tones. The six bathrooms below are real rooms Domusia restyled without adding brick, pipes or concrete, just furniture, lights and accessories.

What makes a bathroom industrial

  • A vanity on a black steel frame with a reclaimed wood front, or a black basin set on wood and metal.
  • Mirrors in black metal frames, round or rectangular, some hung from a pipe-style rail.
  • Wall lights with bare filament bulbs or metal factory shades, above the mirror or hanging from the ceiling.
  • Freestanding black steel shelving with rolled towels in charcoal, grey and navy.
  • Black-framed photographs in black and white, often in a pair or a small group.
  • A dark flat rug or a round jute mat, and a metal stool beside the bath or basin.

Colour palette

  • Blackened steel
  • Reclaimed oak
  • Graphite
  • Filament amber
  • Concrete grey

Get the look

  1. Add a black steel shelving unit and fill it with dark rolled towels.
  2. Swap the light above the mirror for one with bare filament bulbs or metal factory shades.
  3. Hang two black-framed black and white photographs and replace the bath mat with a dark flat rug.

Questions

Do I need exposed brick or pipes for an industrial bathroom?

No. None of the bathrooms on this page gained brick, concrete or exposed pipes. Steel, reclaimed wood and factory lights carry the style.

Can a small bathroom be industrial?

Yes. Several of these bathrooms are small. A narrow steel shelf, a black mirror and one filament light fit where a larger vanity would not.

What colours suit an industrial bathroom?

Black, graphite and reclaimed wood, against the white or beige tiles already in place. Amber light from filament bulbs warms the mix.
