Pleated blinds in an industrial, rugged interior
An industrial interior has strong materials and clear lines. Black, anthracite and dark grey pleated blinds naturally fit in, while beige or light grey brings a sense of air between steel, concrete and brick.

Palette for this look
Rugged doesn't have to mean dark. The best industrial interiors combine raw materials with warm light, wood and a few soft surfaces.
Why it works
A colour that helps both the window and the room
An industrial interior is all about clear lines, matt materials and contrast between metal, wood and calm surfaces.
Soft fabric with hard materials
The fine pleats add texture without losing the rugged character.
Practical for large expanses of windows
Privacy and light can be controlled per window without heavy systems.
Don't just look at the fabric, but at the whole picture around the window.
Colour recipe
How to build a calm combination
Choose one dominant dark shade and let concrete, brick or wood provide texture. Anthracite, steel grey and black often fit in better here than several separate accent colours.
01
Base: concrete and light grey
Keep large surfaces calm.
02
Structure: black steel
Window frames, profiles and lighting create rhythm.
03
Warmth: wood or brick
Stops the interior from feeling cold or businesslike.

Five profile colours
Profile as part of the steelwork
RAL 9005 and 7016 are the natural choices for black and anthracite window frames. With white window frames, a white adhesive profile with a dark operating rail can be more subtle.

An adhesive profile in RAL 7016 or 9005 goes nicely with steel and dark window frames. With light concrete or aluminium, RAL 7035 can blend in more calmly.

Rugged interiors call for clear lines and contrast
In an industrial interior, the window, profile and fabric can show a bit more character. Dark accents often work very well here.
Four directions
How the same colour can feel quite different
Use the colour as a calm base, a warm connecting element or as a clear accent.
Loft
Black, concrete, leather and a large, bright window.
Warm industrial
Dark steel with oak, cognac and soft lighting.
Hospitality and office
Repeat one dark line across several windows.
Rugged new build
Anthracite window frame, grey fabric and a calm floor.
Choosing practically
Nice on screen, certain at your window
Hold the sample next to metal, wood and the wall colour. The pattern of the honeycomb fabric becomes clearer under raking light and helps determine how rugged or refined the whole looks.
Let black or anthracite come back in lamps, handles and furniture.
Leave parts of the window uncovered with top-down/bottom-up.
Flame-retardant fabrics are available on request for restaurants, cafés and public buildings.
In daylight the difference can be significant; request both as samples.
View free fabric samples at home
Hold the samples against the window frame and look at them during the day, in the evening and from outside.
