If you’re tired of the cluttered, overly decorated look of your house, you may be thinking about making some exterior changes that exude a more industrial aesthetic. To achieve this style, it’s important that you are aware of the necessary materials and designs that can help overhaul the outer appearance of your home. Here are three unique ways to take a more modern approach to ensure the look you desire.
Add Iron Doors
Choosing the style of door for the front of your home should take careful consideration. But if you’re looking to embrace an industrial design, you can’t go wrong with iron doors. This sturdy and durable material not only lasts a long time, but it also stands up to the elements of nature. Iron also expresses a strong sense of security, causing intruders to keep walking instead of trying to enter your home uninvited.
And although you may not be going for the “luxurious” look, iron still exudes that level of superiority. When people look at your front door, they’ll immediately know you want your home to make a statement.
Choose Appropriate Colors
When it comes to industrial design, the most common color is black; however, it is also likely that homeowners will incorporate whites, grays, and even browns into their home’s exterior color palette. No matter which shade(s) you choose, you’ll want to make sure it looks cohesive. If necessary, you may find it beneficial to work with a professional who can show you different options and recommend those that will more closely align with the vision you have for your home.
Consider Sliding Glass Walls
Instead of adding more exterior doors to your home, consider the alternative of sliding glass walls. Not only does this allow more light into a designated room, but it helps to create a more open appearance. This is especially helpful if the space is smaller, as glass walls can cause it to feel much bigger.
If you enjoy entertaining, you’ll find it is easy and inviting to slide these walls back and bring together the indoors and outdoors. Your guests will flow from room to room with ease.
You can also update your home’s exterior lighting to ensure a more industrial style as well as opt for exposed brick or concrete on walkways. No matter what you choose, many options can take your home to the next level.
