Industrial styling is a strong interior design trend at the moment, with metallic detailing, exposed brickwork and rough finishes dominating the interiors market. Here are just a few examples of industrial style basement designs to give you inspiration and ideas for your own project:

This industrial basement design in New York utilised exposed chipboard, open ceilings and steel windows to create a rough industrial design to the multi-functional space.

The sleek interior styling of this basement renovation in London integrated an industrial twist with the use of Mondrian^® doors to the rear. The thermally broken steel framed doors were in a Belgium configuration (double doors with sidelights) which brought a good amount of light into the lower floor space.

Mixing industrial detailing with ultra-modern living. This basement cinema room includes a bespoke steel spiral staircase and exposed ceiling rafters for an industrial design. The main wall is overtaken with a large home cinema set, bringing all the modern amenities into this industrial environment.

For a more glamorous take on the trend use soft lighting like these exposed filament bulbs. This basement space paired the neatly exposed brickwork with bespoke timber cabinets to create an entertaining and bar area.

The bespoke steel staircase is the central feature of this basement design. The metallic detailing is used in neat precise lines mixed with contrasting materials which enables the space to be both industrial and contemporary at the same time.

Bespoke access points may require the use of fire-rated glazing. This basement extension (by Ardesia Design) utilised fire-rated frames to create a feature of the access staircase.
