Kimberly QueOur list of favorite online stores for industrial-style furniture and decor includes many common names and some ones you may have not heard off. Newly updated for 2023, we try to cover stores that not only have great looking pieces, but also different price points.
Inspired by the likes of warehouses, factories, and other rugged structures, the best industrial furniture stores make use of salvaged wood, bricks, and mixed metals. Furthermore, this rustic style particularly appeals to anyone who’s looking for furniture that can stand up to regular wear and tear. To help you source some unique rustic finds, here’s our selection of online stores where you can buy industrial furniture. Maybe you’ll finally find that industrial-style couch to adorn your utilitarian loft? Or how about that minimalist desk lamp with exposed wires?
1. FROY
For that urban meets rustic vibe, FROY has a collection of distressed furniture that’s perfect for an industrial-style interior. If you’re after this look, aim for natural, bare finishes and raw materials.
For a unique statement piece in the living room, check out the Zoey Storage Trunk Coffee Table, which is both beautifully classic and practical. It’s got the rugged, leather steamer trunk exterior, and a giant storage enclosure where you can store both your belongings and even wine. It has a dedicate wine rack right inside! A classic industrial-style bar stool is the Panora Bar Stool, which features an iconic bistro aesthetic.
Because many industrial pieces tend to be quite heavy in terms of weight, shopping online can save you from an exhausting trip. Froy also offers free shipping over $75 and very good pricing across all furniture categories.
2. Restoration Hardware
For a luxurious spin on industrial metal furniture, Restoration Hardware has an extensive collection of classic-meets-vintage pieces. We really like their St. James Panel Bed and its ornate, hand-carved accents on the head- and footboard. A hefty, classically-inspired piece such as this bed pairs really well with the distressed and rugged aesthetic of industrial-style decor. In the living room, check out the T-Brace Coffee Table in Waxed Black Oak/Brass color option. This is a modern take on industrial design, with raw solid oak timber for the table top and hand-cast metal for a completely rugged and stately look.
Admittedly, RH has some incredibly artistic industrial furniture pieces, but the pricing will be quite high for most. Nearly every major statement piece such as a sofa or table will cost in thousands of dollars. Alternatives that share similar aesthetic can be found on other stores on the list for some products, though not for the ones with handcrafted embellishments.
3. World Market
Known for its eclectic range of furniture, World Market is not only accessible in terms its price points, but also for its many artisanal goods and handicrafts. For the living room, a classic coffee table option is the Cailen Coffee Table. It features a live edge composite wood slab for the table top and black metal base shaped in geometric trapezoid. A more creative piece is the Galvin Cafeteria Table, which is a uniquely funky dining table that seats four people in swiveling seats. It’s reminiscent of a group seated table at a retro dining hall, featuring industrial decor’s classic rustic wood and black metal finish. In addition, a flexible work-from-home option is the Black Metal And Faux Leather Hayden Laptop Table that comes with a unique leather loop storage. It also doubles as a nightstand and catchall.
4. IKEA
Despite its identity as a Scandinavian style furniture store, IKEA also peppers in various other interior design styles. Just check out some of the favorites we’ve picked out below. The FJÄLLBO TV Stand is a classic industrial decor TV stand, with see-through steel frame coupled with exposed screws for that raw aesthetic. The SAGSTUA Bed is an eclectic piece with some unique ornamentation on the metal rods that we feel will go well in an industrial decor setting. We love that all the IKEA products are very affordable and still stylish. However, our personal experience with IKEA products is that they tend to feel quite “cheap” and have durability issues.
5. Arhaus
Above all, sustainability should be the top priority of all furniture companies. Arhaus embodies this by creating functional pieces made from recycled resources. From harvesting tree roots and turning them into chairs, and reusing copper and steel parts, they work directly with skilled artisans around the world. Though pricy, Arhaus’ designs are very unique and the craftsmanship is top-notch. An industrial lighting staple is the Globe Pendant, which consists of a glass orb adorned with a vintage-inspired brass chain. We also like the Industrial Crank Desk comes in a variety of styles and comes equipped with a fully functioning wheel mechanism.
6. Pottery Barn
The 10th spot for our industrial furniture store list was difficult to decide on, but we figured to go with Pottery Barn. They’ve really moved towards a minimalist aesthetic over the years that is white/beige, softer, and chic. However, there are still a few pieces here and there that would be great fits in an industrial decor setting.
7. Joss & Main
Joss & Main is a retailer of many brands, so it makes sense that they have industrial-style furnishing of various price points. One piece we found quite interesting is the Perry Storage Cabinet. It’s on the pricier end just for a storage cabinet, but the comprehensive distressed iron surface gives it the ideal look for an industrial setting. Another great industrial furnishing option: the Dolma Adjustable Swivel Stool has four metal legs that is shaped elegantly in a curved silhouette. The top is made of mango wood with a natural finish to showcase the wood’s beautiful wood grains. When it comes down to it, balancing distressed metal pieces with simpler pieces can prevent your space from being overly cluttered.
8. Sierra Living Concepts
This chic furniture store specializes in handcrafted pieces using solid hard wood. That means no composite or veneer, making for high-quality and durable pieces. As a result, a lot of their furniture have a more rustic and industrial vibe to them. The Lincoln Dining Table has a warm, rustic wood tone for its primary aesthetic, accented by a black metal cable connecting the leg base with the bottom of the table. It’s a great industrial modern centerpiece for the dining room. You can pair it with the Salineno Dining Chair for a very complimentary dining set. Another classic industrial decor furniture piece is the Adelanto Coffee Table, which looks like a steampunk-era utility cart. Check them out!
9. Ashley
Ashley Furniture tends to evoke that “grandparents’ house” furniture, but the classically oriented nature of their designs means there’s some old-school industrial-style furniture and decor. The Derrylin Lift Top Coffee Table has a bronze-tone finish on its metallic surface, giving it a vintage aesthetic. Plus, it has a storage enclosure inside the table to help organize your living room. The Irene Desk has workbench-inspired sawhorse legs, which allows for the desk to adjust in height. Perfect for a work-from-home office!
10. Modern Industrial Furniture
A Texas-based company that specializes in industrial furnishings, Modern Industrial Furniture derives design inspiration from the early 20th century. Consisting of a father and son duo, they make some exquisite custom furniture pieces. If you’re planning to host a wine tasting party, the SpeakEasy Wine Cabinet can be customized to store your entire collection in a sturdy steel frame. In addition, the Strongbox Metal Cabinet is an incredible statement piece that can function as a nightstand or file cabinet. Lastly, the all-steel interior can even be done in a bold red finish!
When it comes down to it, industrial furniture evokes an elusive sense of old-world charm that can suit every home. By cutting out excess details and going back to the purity of form, you can create a functional style that’s uniquely your own.
