The term ” industrial office design ” refers to a design aesthetic that has been increasingly popular in recent years. You, too, have almost certainly come across it in your travels. The natural components of the building, such as exposed masonry, ducts, pipes, high ceilings, exposed rafters, and so on, contribute to the building’s earthy, “garage” vibe. This is what gives the building its name.
These locations have the potential to be breathtaking, but they also carry with them a degree of risk. If you follow the advice provided by our industrial office construction team in Toronto, you will be able to recognize and solve any potential issues that may arise, ensuring that your industrial space will have a magnificent final appearance.
The Industrial Appearance Is Cost-Effective… But Shouldn’t Appear to Be Low-Cost
The fact industrial office design is accomplished on a shoestring budget adds to the allure of the industrial aesthetic. This may give the area a very “grassroots” vibe, while also saving quite a bit of money by including design components (exposed brickwork, ductwork, etc.) that a typical industrial office space would normally need to hide through expensive remodeling in order to maintain its professional appearance.
Having said that, there is a very significant asterisk attached. If the exposed characteristics are not appropriately “cleaned up,” the area may end up looking less “charming and rustic” and more “dirty and cheap.” Always give the impression that your exposed components have been meticulously cleaned, and make it a point to remove any rust discolouration or paint that has chipped from the parts that are visible.
The Industrial Style Calls for the Barest Minimum in Terms of Decoration… However, It Shouldn’t Appear Boring
Due to the fact that the majority of the aesthetics revolve around a “raw, untreated” aspect, the industrial office look works best with a limited amount of paint or adornment. It is important to strike the right balance here; if there is too little paint on it, it will appear plain and unfinished, but if there is too much paint on it, it will entirely undercut the industrial style.
This is the most important thing to keep in mind when designing color schemes for industrial-style rooms: Use warm and neutral colors for the most part, and then add essential accents using pops of a bright color that aligns with your brand in very little amounts. A dash of color here and there can do wonders to brighten up the area, but the structural features should continue to take precedence in the industrial office space.
Some Spaces Would Benefit from the Industrial Office Look
There are several areas that have the appearance of having been designed specifically for the industrial aesthetic. On the other hand, all too frequently we will find a magnificent workstation decorated in an industrial-style that is obscured by a boring and standard greeting room.
Always keep in mind that maintaining consistency is essential. Be sure that whatever decision you make about the interior design of your office, that decision is implemented throughout the entire office and not only in the areas where it is easiest to do so. An attractive area might very quickly take on the appearance of a sloppy hodgepodge when there is inconsistency present.
