About this style

Why Industrial?

The industrial garden style takes inspiration from factories, lofts and urban architecture. Carbon black aluminium frames, dark teak wood and clear, robust shapes define the look. The colour palette is dark and bold: anthracite, carbon black and dark grey, sometimes combined with light teak wood as a warm contrast. These garden furnishings are not just tough on the outside — they're built to last for years. Ideal for anyone who wants a garden with character, strength and contemporary flair.

  • Choose carbon black aluminium as the base material for frames and legs
  • Combine with light teak or vironwood for a warmer contrast
  • Add concrete or ceramic planters for a genuine urban feel
  • Keep the garden tidy — the strength lies in the furniture itself

Step by step

How to give your garden an industrial character?

An industrial garden revolves around the interplay of robust materials and dark colours. Choose a carbon black dining or lounge set as the focal point. Combine this with a concrete or ceramic floor and perhaps a steel pergola or anthracite parasol. Plants play a role as a green contrast: large container plants, ornamental grasses or a climbing plant on a dark wall. Keep accessories clear and purposeful. Less is more.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Industrial style

How do I create an industrial atmosphere in my garden?

Choose carbon black aluminium furniture as the focal point and combine with dark terrace tiles (anthracite or concrete look). Add a steel or aluminium pergola, use large container plants as green contrast and choose outdoor lighting in black or anthracite. Fewer accessories = more character.

Which plants suit an industrial garden?

Large, bold container plants: hosta, gunnera, bamboo, ornamental grasses and climbing plants on dark walls. Use concrete or steel planters for the right look and feel.

Which terrace material suits the industrial garden style?

Concrete-look tiles, large ceramic tiles in dark grey or anthracite, and poured concrete are perfect for the industrial style. Composite or hardwood can serve as a warm contrast to the dark palette.

Can industrial and natural materials be combined?

Yes, and it looks great. A teak dining table with carbon black aluminium chairs is a strong combination. The warm wood softens the raw, dark frame and gives a balanced, lived-in feel.
