10 ideas using industrial lights for home décor

Idea #2: Make your Industrial Light the Focus

Find pendant lamps hard to maintain or feel they’re intruding into your space as you have lower ceilings? Switch out that industrial hanging light for a track lighting option; a common element of the industrial style, and a great way to add both ambient and targeted illumination to a space. With lighting tracks that are custom built to resemble exposed piping, your industrial ceiling lights will add a touch of Steampunk charm to your décor! 

Idea #3: Mixing Industrial Light Fixtures for Versatile Style

With open concept homes, a great way to maintain a harmonious look from room-to-room but still have interest and differentiation between each space, is to blend a mix of industrial light solutions that still retain a sense of similarity. Use brass-finish fixtures of various styles, from warehouse chic in the foyer with hanging industrial tube light fixtures, to a chandelier of exposed bulbs on a frame for a contemporary look in the living room, to a modern-vintage effect in the kitchen with pendant lamps over the island.

Idea #5: Steel Industrial Lamp Designs that Stand Alone

With some rented apartments, changing pre-installed décor is a big no-no, and it can seem like having industrial light fixtures is not in your interior design plans. But don’t forget your available stand-alone lighting solutions! Give your room a quick illumination upgrade with the addition of steel and glass industrial floor lamps, for living room décor that’s the ideal blend of modern and rustic.

Idea #6: Warm Toned Industrial Lights for Home Comfort

If comfort and a cosy atmosphere are your go to, the best way to incorporate industrial lighting is by choosing fixtures that are finished in warm tones – you can even make this work for industrial tube light settings, just house them in warm wood, or brass or copper shades. For industrial LED lighting that complements your space, pick LEDs that exude a yellow or warm white light, or if they’re in exposed fittings, filament-style bulbs – made with LED technology – are easily available and look amazing, too!

Idea #7: Dramatic Industrial Light Fixtures

These days, there’s a wide range of chandelier-style industrial hanging light fixtures available in custom builds and ready-made patterns. From exposed rope and wire-frame designs, to a cluster of Edison bulbs on chains, or LED strips in starburst shapes… the options are endless, making this truly a form of industrial lights for home interiors that are as much an art form as a functional necessity.

Idea #10: Custom Industrial LED Lighting for Outdoors

Last but not least, since we’ve covered the use of industrial lighting within the home, it's time to take a look at how you could use industrial lights for home exteriors. Embrace the essence of industrial chic with faux Victorian antique style industrial light fixtures that mimic gas lamps. These lights are perfect for placing on either side of your front door to illuminate the entryway.
