Comprehensive renovations in Barcelona are an excellent way to modernize and transform old apartments, giving them a new look and adapting them to current trends. One of the most popular styles today is the industrial style, which combines modernity with a rustic, urban and minimalist look.

At Reforma y Ahorra we tell you how to carry out a comprehensive renovation to convert an apartment to an industrial style, addressing key aspects such as colors and materials, furniture and lighting, textures and accessories.

Benefits of comprehensive renovations in industrial style

1. Modernity and functionality

Industrial style is known for its focus on functionality and simplicity, eliminating excess and focusing on the essentials. This approach not only modernizes the space, but also makes it more practical and easier to maintain.

2. Unique aesthetics

The industrial style provides a unique and attractive aesthetic, combining urban elements with a rustic touch. This style is ideal for those looking for a modern and welcoming environment, with a design that stands out for its character and personality.

Keys to a comprehensive industrial-style apartment renovation

1. Colors and materials

Color palette

The predominant colors in the industrial style are neutral tones such as gray, black, white and beige. These colors create a sober and elegant base that can be complemented with touches of brighter colors through accessories and/or decorative elements.

Materials

The most used materials in this style are metal, concrete and wood in natural tones. These materials provide the robustness and rustic character that defines the industrial style. In addition, it is common to leave structural elements such as beams, pipes and bricks visible, which contribute to the authenticity of the design.

2. Furniture and lighting

Furniture

The furniture in an industrial style apartment should be functional and simple, with clean lines and robust materials. Metal and wood pieces are common, as well as reused, recycled or restored furniture that adds a touch of history and personality to the space.

Lightning

Lighting is a crucial element in industrial design. Vintage-style lamps or exposed light bulbs are an excellent option for this type of decoration. Additionally, metal pendant lamps or adjustable spotlights can be used to add an authentic industrial touch.

3. Textures and accessories

Textures

Textures play an important role in industrial style. Rough surfaces such as concrete, untreated wood and rust-effect metal (corten) add depth and character to the space. It is important to combine these textures in a balanced way to avoid an environment that is too cold or austere.

Accessories

Accessories in an industrial floor must be carefully selected to maintain style coherence. Decorative elements such as large wall clocks, street art, plants in terracotta pots and textiles in neutral tones can complement the design without overloading the space.

Examples of comprehensive reforms in Barcelona

Case 1: Renovation of an apartment in the Poblenou neighborhood

In the Poblenou neighborhood, an old factory was transformed into a modern industrial-style loft. The original brick walls and metal beams were left exposed, combined with a polished concrete floor. The furniture included pieces of metal and recycled wood, creating a cozy and contemporary atmosphere.

Case 2: Transformation of an apartment in the Raval

In the Raval, an old apartment was renovated to reflect a modern industrial design. Unnecessary walls were knocked down to create an open space, and large windows were installed to maximize natural light. Finishes included rusted metal and aged wood surfaces, complemented by vintage-style lighting and urban accessories.

Comprehensive renovations in Barcelona are the perfect opportunity to transform old apartments into modern and functional spaces. The industrial style, with its combination of modernity, rusticity and minimalism, is an excellent option for those looking for a unique aesthetic and a cozy atmosphere.
