Trend: Industrial revolution

Delicate flowers make the perfect contrast to industrial interiors

Taking inspiration from derelict factories, mills and wharfs, the urban industrial trend has taken the interiors world by storm. Characterised by its distressed finishes and exposed brickwork, beams and pipes – flowers might seem like an unlikely accessory. But their delicate beauty can make a stunning contrast for urban romantics.

Here are few simple ideas to give your blooms an industrial spin.

Urban vases

Etsy is a good place to start if you want to add an industrial edge to your flower displays. Why not try a Copper Bud Vase made from copper alloy, which looks great on it's own or arranged in a group. 

Galvanised steel

For a metallic finish keep it clean with galvanised steel vases and buckets and vintage pails.

Flower garlands

Thread colourful flower heads onto lengths of string and drape the garlands over timber and metal beams. Or create a beaded-curtain effect and hang them in the doorway of an urban loft space. 

Wall flowers

Give a whitewashed or distressed wall a touch of femininity with a pretty display of mounted flowers. These draped lilies with colourful ribbons provide the ultimate contadiction of urban meets pretty.

Industrial romance

Add nuts and bolts to your wedding bouquet for a unique and edgy finishing touch to an urban wedding. Or use an old metal toolbox as an alternative place to display your blooms.
