How to make industrial style chic

Industrial and chic are two completely different images when it comes to design. However, if you consider the following three aspects, you will find that they can be combined in a very in style.

Although I like the industrial style, it has no place in my home. No matter how many charming pictures I found on Pinterest, none of them managed to convince me completely. And after a long search and constant page scrolling, I also realised why: it doesn't shine enough. I like gold and shiny surfaces. Rough, poorly worked metal does not match my style. Probably, if I lived in a loft, things would be different.
.
However, I can give my furniture an industrial touch by paying attention to three characteristics: golden, coloured and warm. Here are my favourites:

A golden touch

You can also choose black or silver metals, however, brass is the one that gives more warmth and glamour to your space. The best thing about this material is that it is cheaper than real gold, but shines just as well. Don't worry, a single stool will not make your house a mansion. However, it will add a touch of class.

Lacquered surfaces

Raw metals have a cold, unrefined effect. But all it takes is a coat of paint, and a wide range of colours, to make them more attractive.

Infinite combinations

The right combination is what it takes. Combining raw industrial materials with wood or leather will make them warmer and softer. Moreover, by adding textiles, blankets and/or pillows, you will make the room even cosier.
