Exposed materials, black metal and concrete textures — industrial style suits London warehouse conversions and period homes alike.
Industrial style has staying power, especially in London's warehouse conversions and characterful period homes. It mixes raw materials with sharp black detailing for a confident, modern look.
Crittall-Style Shower Screens
Black-framed glass screens are the signature industrial feature — they divide space without closing it in and look stunning.
Concrete and Exposed Textures
Concrete-effect porcelain tiles or microcement give the raw look without the cold of real concrete. A section of exposed brick adds authenticity in older homes.
Matt Black Brassware
Matt black taps, shower and accessories tie the scheme together against pale walls or concrete tones.
Edison and Exposed Lighting
Filament-style bulbs and simple metal fittings (correctly IP-rated) complete the look.
Warm It Up
Add timber and greenery so the room feels welcoming rather than cold — the best industrial bathrooms balance hard and soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does industrial style work in a small bathroom?
Yes — a Crittall screen and concrete-effect tiles work well in compact spaces. Keep walls light and use black as an accent so it doesn't feel heavy.
Is microcement good for bathrooms?
Applied correctly over a waterproofed substrate, microcement gives a seamless concrete look. It must be sealed and installed by an experienced applicator.
