Industrial-style carpet: modern art at home
Industrial aesthetics for the eye, a comfortingly soft texture for the skin – these are the two sides of an industrial design rug. With these masterpieces, you can give your rooms a friendly, relaxed look or a modern, lived-in feel.
A carpet artwork with a used look – a true statement piece
What distinguishes a rug with an industrial look is its intentionally worn appearance. This industrial design is also called a used look and is represented at CAP by the Roma rug model. The used look is far more than just a decorative element – it gives your industrial-style rug a historical aura. These vintage rugs thus lend your room a classic or even retro touch. Therefore, the charm of a rug with an industrial flair lies in two crucial components:
-
Rawness and authenticity: Industrial-style rugs convey a sense of authenticity and immediacy. The visible materials and structural elements create an atmosphere that is both modern and nostalgic.
-
Minimalism: Industrial design rugs with a vintage look are characterized by avoiding superfluous decoration and instead emphasizing clean lines and simple shapes. This creates a calm and relaxing environment.
-
Combining old and new: Industrial-style rugs allow you to combine old elements with modern accents. An antique wooden table, for example, can harmonize perfectly with these rugs.
-
Individuality: Rooms can be personalized by using unique materials and designs of the carpets.
-
Patina: In interior design, patina is often used deliberately to create a vintage or industrial look that exudes authenticity and character. Patina typically develops on various surfaces through natural aging or weathering. However, this effect can be artificially simulated, thus creating our fashionable industrial-look rugs. This special patina is intended to evoke the look of old factory halls or workshops where years of use have left their mark. Textures and color gradients are also deliberately imperfect to revive the charm of bygone times.
-
Nostalgia: Our industrial-inspired rugs create a sense of tension—they combine the aesthetic of a distressed look with modern design elements. This allows you to enjoy the nostalgia of vintage style while also glimpsing modern patterns and designs. Pairing this contrast with muted colors creates a unique visual depth that adds texture and character to the room.
Overall, carpets in industrial design bring a distinctive character to the interior that is both timeless and trendy. Our carpets in colorful vintage design and our vintage carpets in round are just as classic and uniquely nostalgic.
Timeless elegance: vintage carpet with striking shades
In a vintage rug with an industrial design, the surface also provides characteristic shades. These are the special color gradients and nuances that give the rug an unprecedented depth and complexity. The colors are carefully selected to emphasize the raw yet sophisticated character of the industrial style.
The focus is on friendly and delicate, but also neutral and earthy tones that fit perfectly with the typical materials of industrial design.
-
Golden yellow: Many industrial-style rugs come in metallic or earthy tones, like our Roma Giallo. This brings a touch of warmth and light to the room.
-
Brown: Various shades of brown, such as our Roma Menta, are particularly popular for industrial vintage rugs. They have a calming and natural effect, yet also create a profound atmosphere.
-
Beige: But delicate and neutral colors also lend character to industrial-style rugs. Beige and the cooler version, cold beige, are common examples.
-
Pink: Delicate, pastel-like tones like pink can harmonize with the washed-out look. They add either a metallic or even a soft, feminine touch.
These different color nuances allow you to individually design and express the worn look of our carpets in Düsseldorf . The shades are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also create distinct character traits that, in turn, can serve different room concepts.
Interior design from chic to creative: The industrial style carpet
Choosing an industrial-style rug for your interior design gives you a wide range of options. A single rug can be integrated in a variety of ways and harmonize with numerous motifs and furniture pieces.
-
Spacious loft: If you have a loft or an open-plan living space, an industrial-style rug can serve as a focal point. The generous dimensions of our rugs stylishly and efficiently connect different areas of a large room.
-
Minimalist interior: The distressed look also creates an exciting contrast to the clean lines and understated colors of the minimalist design. While the industrial rug adds warmth and life, the room's other minimalist features create an open, airy feel.
-
Creative spaces: Where different styles and eras collide, an industrial-style rug is a must. Whether as a base for your interior design or as a contrasting piece, the rug connects the other accents in the room and creates a unified yet varied look.
Don't worry about maintenance – your industrial-style carpet is made for real life!
Not only a design statement, but also surprisingly easy to care for—perfect for busy households and pet owners. Here are some tips to effortlessly maintain your industrial-style rug's signature look:
-
Gentle cleaning: Protect your carpet's unique texture by using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. This way, you can keep your carpet free from everyday dust and dirt without damaging the durable material.
-
Targeted stain treatment: Should an accident occur, use a mild soap solution to treat stains immediately. Gently dabbing with a soft cloth will help preserve the integrity of the texture.
-
Regular professional care: To maintain the depth and industrial character of your carpet, we recommend having it professionally cleaned occasionally. This not only ensures a thorough clean but also preserves its striking appearance.
Rely on the durability and quality of our carpets and experience how they maintain their appealing aesthetics over time with minimal effort.
