Brick wall is a great background for any piece of furniture. A good option is to place the module for storing things. It should be noted that cabinet furniture should be as simple and functional as possible. Smooth facades from MDF, as best as possible meet these requirements. And in the resulting niche perfectly fit LCD TV.
The wall module for storage is a good addition to the open metal shelving. The rest of the furniture should also emphasize the laconic design.
The sofa, like other soft furniture, should have simple shapes, leather upholstery will emphasize its "office", which is also an undoubted plus.

Interior decor in this style should be thoughtful and ascetic. It can be just a few pictures depicting the factory machines or a fire escape plan. It can even be a dummy of ventilation pipes under the ceiling.
