Aesthetic Interior Choices for Metal Buildings

By Anna Lockhart. 

When constructing a custom metal building, the interior choices are endless.  

Companies like Metal Depots create custom metal building kits, a unique package that gives homeowners and business owners the ability to control the design of the structure from start to finish. With the interior left basically empty and free to decorate and fill to personal preference, the open and unfinished space can be daunting for those who aren’t exactly sure where to start with filling it. Keep reading to learn about the basic interior design choices that can be made with a metal building.  

Interior walls 

When designing a metal building interior, there are two major options to go with for walls: finished or exposed metal walls. For those wanting a modern look, leaving the metal walling exposed can give a unique textural and color element to the space. Finished metal walling makes the space take on a more traditional look. By finishing the walls with drywall, the space can transform into a conventional space.  

Ceiling options 

In a metal building, there are a few design choices building owners can make to transform the space into their preferred aesthetics by leaving the beams exposed or going with a drop ceiling. Exposed beaming gives the space a feel of being much larger as well as adopting a more modern look while covering the metal beams with a drop ceiling will give the room a more traditional and cozier feel.  

Flooring for metal buildings 

Flooring for metal buildings is limitless like that of any other structure and completely depends on the design tastes of the owner. Carpet, tile, laminate or hardwood, the options for stylish flooring are endless!  

The customization for metal buildings goes far beyond that of simple wall and ceiling options. From insulation and framing, there are many unique choices building owners can make to turn the space into their very own to reflect their personal tastes and needs.
