The color palette includes shades of brown, gray, metallic tones, red brick walls, and a hint of green. The forge is surrounded by tools and materials, with the anvil to the right. There is a wooden door on the back wall and a framed portrait on the left, above the wagon wheels. Tools are neatly organized on the right wall, and the ceiling has exposed beams.
