1. Consider Industrial Pipe Vanity Shelf

Notes:

• The addition of a vanity shelf to your industrial bathroom style can be achieved with very few tools and minimal effort. You can always contact a professional for installing a vanity shelf, but if you are handy around the house and want to take on this project yourself, here is how you do it:
• 1. Take Measurements:
     Measure out the space where you want to install your shelf. Measurements should be taken from wall to wall and should also include any plumbing or electrical components that may already be in place (such as pipes or outlets).

  2. Make It Even:
     The top edge of the shelf should be even with these other parts of your bathroom; however, if there aren’t any other parts of your bathroom that need to be accessed by this new piece, then placement may vary accordingly depending on what kind of look or feel you prefer in your space.
  3. Note Measurements:
     Once measurements have been taken down properly onto paper or some other recording medium like an app on your phone (otherwise known as “the cloud”), use these numbers when ordering materials from a local hardware store.

• • Looking at Industrial Vanities:

    What does industrial style mean? It aims to breathe new life into old, commercial, vintage, and recycled building materials. This style is characterized by exposed pipes, rafters, reclaimed wood, iron, brick, and concrete.

    So within a bathroom, plumbing pipes and other elements will be exposed and refinished to give it the “industrial” look.

2. Industrial Bathroom Furniture & Decor

Notes:

• One of the most popular choices for bathrooms is the industrial style. This is a style that is practical, functional, and unique. It’s also often associated with the industrial age, when machinery was important to industry and factories were constructed in large numbers.
• The bathroom furniture in this design style may include sinks made of steel or stone, tubs made out of wood or cast iron with claw feet, and shower heads that resemble old-fashioned faucets or gas lamps.
• You can also add texture to your industrial bathroom by incorporating pipes into your decorating scheme as well as building materials such as brick or corrugated metal walls — all are elements commonly found in these types of spaces from previous eras.
• But keep in mind, that once you want to move the place of the toilet or any pipes for making your bathroom industrial, you might need a professional plumber to do the work.

    Bathroom furniture includes shelfing, cabinets, chairs, stools, stands, and any other free-standing item that you may include (noted below). Freestanding bathtubs may also be classified as bathroom furniture.

    So if you looking to for the industrial style, it all comes down to the bathtub, vanity, and the different elements of decor.

3. Install a Statement Shower or Tub

Notes:

• Installing a statement shower or tub is another way you can add interest to your industrial bathroom. A free-standing tub might be just what you need, and it can also act as a focal point for the entire room.
• If space is limited, consider installing a bench in front of the wall-mounted shower instead — it will allow you to sit comfortably while shaving and cleaning your face.
• Another option that’s becoming popular is installing a window on one side of the shower, creating an open feel while still maintaining privacy.
• You could also go for something more bold like adding a rain shower head or steam feature (both available on modern showers) or even getting creative with body sprayers that let you customize exactly how much water each person gets during their turn in front of the sink mirror.

• • Adding That Statement Shower:

    Your bathroom may take on the industrial look – but there is nothing industrial regarding your shower experience. If fact, you want something that is modern and up-to-date such as a full-body panel system and/or steam shower.

    So if you’re thinking about re-styling your bathroom, adding a walk-in, frameless, and/or full-body shower to your bathroom will enhance its functionality and appeal.

    Considering the complexity of a bathroom renovation, however, may require the hiring of a professional.

    They can help you with the design, find reliable suppliers, solve problems that arise, and meet building codes – tasks that don’t and can’t do along to blend a shower into your industrial design.

4. Add Vintage Materials and Colors

Notes:

• Vintage materials, such as reclaimed wood and re-purposed metal, add a touch of history to your industrial-style bathroom. You can also brighten your space with vintage décor that includes colorful tiles and retro-style light fixtures.
• Use unique bath accessories like copper or brass shower caddy holders for towels, which are great for storing extra toiletries.

• • What to Know About Lighting:

    There are 3 key lighting features for the bathroom:

    • Task Lighting:

      Lighting that is used to perform a task. This would include vanity lighting for getting ready in the morning; and shower lighting to illuminate the area while showering.

    • You may enjoy sitting in the bathroom for some privacy and perhaps reading. A reading lamp either attached to the wall or standing on the floor would be another type of task lighting.

    • Ambient or General Lighting:

      Depending on the size of your bathroom, the vanity light may likewise function as your general bathroom lighting. The vanity light may be bright enough to illuminate the entire room.

    • However, if your bathroom is large, you may use ceiling light, pendant lights, and recessed lighting as ambient lighting features to illuminate the bathroom.

    • Accent Lighting:

      Accent lighting is not needed but rather used to set the mood and decor for the bath. This type lighting provides atmosphere and highlights focal points in your bathroom.

    • Examples may be a soft spot light that lights up a certain spot in the bathroom. Or flood lighting that illuminates the tub or vanity area.

5. Choose Industrial Mirror Bathroom Storage w/ Wire Baskets and Towel Bar

Notes:

• To add extra storage to your bathroom, you can choose an industrial mirror with wire baskets for towels and toiletries. The mirror will also help to brighten the space and make it seem larger.
• The towel bar is a great place to hang your bathrobe if you don’t have enough space in the closet or dresser drawers.

• • 5b. Consider Industrial Display Rack

    An industrial display rack is another great way to add storage space to your bathroom without taking up a lot of room. It can be used to hold towels, toiletries, and other things you need close by.

    To create this display rack, you’ll need a wooden shelf that’s about 24 inches wide and around 18 inches tall. Attach it to the wall with screws so it’s secure but can still be easily removed when necessary.

    If you want even more space for storing things like toilet paper or hand towels, attach one end of a towel bar to the bottom of the shelf and then hang any kind of basket from it for easy access.

    And make sure you look at the hardware that include towel racks, hooks, and other. These small pieces can pull everything together for that industrial look and feel.

• Conclusion

  There are many ways to create an industrial-style bathroom. The key is to think about what you want from your space and how it will be used.

• If you’re looking for a place that’s functional and efficient, then go with all-white fixtures or materials that have been painted white.
• If you want something more rustic and natural, then choose wood finishes like oak or pine over metal or stone ones like granite countertops. Whatever type of space you’re envisioning, there are plenty of options available at home improvement stores. Good luck!
