Industrial vs Boho: Which Interior Style Suits You?
When it comes to decorating your home, two styles continue to stand out: Industrial and Boho (Bohemian). Both are distinctive. Both are expressive. But they create very different moods.
So how do you know which one suits you, or your space, best?
Let’s break it down.
🏭 What Is Industrial Style?
Industrial interiors are inspired by old factories and warehouses. Think exposed materials, strong lines, and functional design.
Key Features of Industrial Style:
- Metal and wood combinations
- Neutral colour palettes (black, grey, brown, white)
- Exposed hardware and raw finishes
- Large statement pieces
- Minimal clutter
- Industrial style feels structured, confident, and slightly edgy.
Perfect If You:
- Prefer clean lines over decorative details
- Love statement clocks and bold furniture
- Enjoy a modern, slightly masculine aesthetic
- Like a “less is more” approach
🛒 Try:
- Industrial Large Cog Clock (White & Gold) – a bold focal point
- Jivana Mango Wood Side Table - Natural wood meets strong form
🌿 What Is Boho Style?
Boho interiors are relaxed, artistic, and layered. They embrace colour, texture, and individuality.
Key Features of Boho Style:
- Warm woods and carved details
- Mixed patterns and textures
- Brass, woven, and natural elements
- Plants and greenery
- Collected, curated feel
- Boho style feels cosy, expressive, and full of personality.
Perfect If You:
- Love decorative details and carved patterns
- Prefer warm tones and layered styling
- Enjoy mixing colours and textures
- Want your home to feel relaxed and inviting

- Damodar Hand Carved Side Table – intricate craftsmanship
- Daruni Green Glass Vase - bold colour and softness

🆚 Industrial vs Boho: The Quick Comparison
| Industrial | Boho |
|---|---|
| Structured | Layered |
| Minimal | Decorative |
| Neutral tones | Warm, earthy colours |
| Bold statement pieces | Collected, artistic feel |
| Clean lines | Curved shapes & carvings |
🤔 Can You Mix Both?
Absolutely.
In fact, some of the most interesting homes blend the two:
- A bold industrial clock above a carved mango wood sideboard
- A clean-lined metal table styled with textured trays and greenery
- Neutral industrial furniture softened with warm-toned accessories
The secret? Balance.
Use industrial pieces as your base, then soften with boho accents — or vice versa.
🏡 So… Which Style Suits You?
Ask yourself:
- Do I prefer calm and minimal or warm and layered?
- Do I gravitate toward structure or decoration?
- Do I want my space to feel bold or cosy?
There’s no right or wrong answer - only what feels like home.
