It was trend a while ago, and it has come back now more strongly to reinvent and adapt itself to the most exclusive interiors. The industrial is trendy, both to decorate our homes as well as bars and offices.

More and more designers and interior designers are opting to apply this style in their decorations to turn any room into an original and exclusive space. But where does this trend come from? Its origins date back to the 50s, when many industrial facilities of New York City had to close due to the crisis, so they were converted into homes.

Industrial style is characterized by open concept spaces, where the divisions hardly exist and where the decoration remains very basic. Its most distinctive feature is the selection of materials and the feeling of being in a free and wide space.
