How to create a botanical industrial interior
Do you find joy in (green) plants? And don't you mind a rugged, old, and striking object in your home? Then you'll probably feel right at home in a botanical industrial interior. Botanical refers to everything related to plants. This style suits almost any interior, but in this blog post, we'll combine it with an industrial interior. Do you like this look, but don't know where to start? With our styling tips, you'll create a botanical industrial interior in no time.
Tip 1: Go wild with plants
One thing's for sure: a botanical industrial interior needs greenery. Lots and lots of it. A botanical interior finds its roots in everything related to botany. You can make it as wild as you like, so go wild! Will you go for hanging plants, industrial plants like a monstera (cheese plant), dried flowers in frames on the wall, or jungle-style wallpaper?
Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can easily add plants to your botanical industrial interior. Succulents, for example, are easy to care for, can go long without water, and boost the natural character of your interior. These days, you can also find beautiful artificial plants that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.Tip 2: Choose green as a base color
Green is a calming color that creates a beautiful foundation for furniture and accessories. This color doesn't get boring quickly because we encounter it in nature every day. Think it might get boring quickly? Then combine different shades of green for a playful effect, but make sure they complement each other. For an even greater atmosphere, combine green with natural tones such as sand, clay or stone.
Tip 3: Go for natural materials
A botanical industrial interior is a surefire hit if you use natural materials. Think metal, (old) wood, wool, brick, and concrete (look). The more you combine, the more beautiful the final result. For example, place your green plant in a leather plant bag and place it on a vintage wooden crate. Add a fluffy cushion next to it to instantly create more ambiance. Besides natural materials, you could also consider photo frames with botanical prints or illustrations of insects, an old typewriter, or wild animals.

Tip 4: Create a real eye-catcher
For a rugged and lived-in look in your interior, start with industrial styling. It's important not to use too many industrial accessories; make a selection. Choose at least one vintage element. This could be a brick wall, a rough-hewn scaffolding wood dining table, or a Chesterfield sofa. Combine this with one or two large accessories and find some smaller decorations to complement it. Worried it might look too cluttered? With a calming base color, you can always remove some furniture or accessories to bring a bit more peace back into your interior.
