Why It Works

Industrial elements work in kids rooms when softened appropriately. Metal bed frames and pipe shelving provide durability, while colorful textiles, rugs, and wall art warm the space. The exposed-hardware aesthetic appeals to older kids and teens who want a room that feels grown-up and edgy.

How to Achieve This Look

  1. 1

    Choose a black or gunmetal metal loft or bunk bed

  2. 2

    Create a chalkboard accent wall for drawing

  3. 3

    Add warm wood through shelves, desk, or toy storage

  4. 4

    Use metal wire baskets and bins for toy organization

  5. 5

    Soften the space with a plush area rug

  6. 6

    Include vintage-inspired posters or maps as wall art

Pro Tip

Paint one wall with chalkboard paint — it gives kids a creative outlet that fits the industrial aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a industrial kids room redesign cost?

Costs vary widely based on scope. A cosmetic refresh with paint, textiles, and accessories can start at $500-$2,000. A full renovation with new furniture, lighting, and surfaces typically runs $5,000-$25,000+ depending on room size and material quality. Using Layoutly AI to visualize changes first helps you prioritize spending where it matters most.

Can I achieve a industrial kids room look on a budget?

Absolutely. Focus on the highest-impact, lowest-cost changes first: paint, textiles (throws, cushions, rugs), and lighting can dramatically shift a room's feel. Thrift stores and online marketplaces are great sources for industrial furniture. Layoutly helps you test budget-friendly options before purchasing.
