When we think of industry, we often think of 19th-century Britain and the industrial revolution. Victorian engineers worked hard to develop increasingly powerful machines. This led to a massive increase in the number of factories throughout the UK – a defining era for many of our cities, particularly in Northern England.
Today, little remains of this steam-powered past but industrial style remains strangely timeless. In fact, industrial design transcends fashion, architecture and even consumer technology. The aesthetic remains a mainstay for interior design too, with furniture and fittings unashamedly showing off its bare metal, nuts and bolts.
What are industrial-style doors, windows and room dividers?
The modern-day twist on industrial design makes itself known with dark colours, bold lines and clean, flat surfaces. When it comes to room dividers, our OI-30 style follows this aesthetic to the t, with sleek and luxurious frames with an edgy, well, edge. They look incredible in black, although we do offer 150 RAL colours if you’d like to try something different.
Georgian bars divide the glazing, reminiscent of large factory windows, whilst the handles are a curious balance of modern yet detailed. Blackout panels (also known as kickplates) add a solid metal piece to the bottom of the door, adding protection from passing feet or stray toys. This might just be a piece of metal to some people, but this area of powder-coated aluminium is striking, impossibly smooth, and works well to help divide a space.
Custom industrial-style room dividers
As we’ve mentioned, our doors are customisable with an impressive selection of colours from the renowned RAL colour system. In addition, room dividers are available as single doors, French doors or a fixed non-opening screen. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even try a corner configuration which is a great option should you wish to add an office, snug or gym to a particular area within a larger room.
Want to go even further with your bespoke features? We also offer lock, handle and glazing options. So if attention to detail is your thing, industrial-style dividers from Origin will give you no shortage of options to ensure your room dividers suit your personal taste and the style of your home.
