Industrial Interior Design and Window Treatments
Inspired by old factories and warehouses, industrial interior design features raw, unfinished materials such as exposed brick, metal, concrete, and natural wood. If you're using this intriguing style in your home's interior design, Sun Catchers can help you find industrial window treatments that complement your home's aesthetic and complete the look.

What is Industrial Interior Design?
Long, exposed pipes. Brickwork. Wood window treatments. Glints of metal. Inspired by manufacturing and factories, industrial interior design incorporates elements of both modern and farmhouse interior design styles. It embraces the open floor plan, natural light, and neutral color palette of modern design, but it leans toward darker neutrals. It also includes raw and exposed materials, like the open wood beams common in farmhouse style. In industrial style, think sleek black metal stair rails, exposed pipes, concrete flooring, and brick
walls, as well.
Despite the industrial nature, this design style is warm and inviting. The raw materials make it rich in texture, giving it natural depth and visual interest.

- Rough wood or concrete flooring
- Exposed brick, wood beams, or open ductwork
- Leather, raw wood, and other materials in furniture and home décor

Top Industrial Window Treatments
Industrial window treatments offer UV protection, reduce glare, and add a stylish touch. However, you must be selective about the window treatments you choose to find options that complement the industrial interior design style. These are our top suggestions.
- Roller Shades: Clean lines and a minimalist look make these a great fit for industrial design, especially in neutral colors like gray, white, or black. The fabric adds softness to the rougher textures and raw materials in your industrial design.
- Roman Shades: Textured or natural fabrics on Roman shades are ideal for industrial interior design. They're insulating and use clean lines, so they complement the style and draw the eye. Again, consider neutral fabrics to stay within your color scheme.
- Faux Wood Blinds: Moisture-resistant and durable, you can select from a wide range of paints, stains, and decorative paints to create a look you'll love. You can create a rustic aesthetic or choose a color that complements the rest of your interiors or adds contrast. The straight lines and adjustable slats provide fabulous light control and privacy.
- Metal blinds: The black metal sheen, so popular in industrial design, is perfect for accenting your windows and adds straight, clean lines. Plus, they're durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean.
You can also add a layer of drapery to enhance light control, regulate temperature, and add an element of style. If you do, choose metal hardware, especially black metal, for curtain rods and end caps.
