Industrial kitchens
The industrial style is inspired by industry. Open spaces, large windows, simplicity, and minimalism are some of its main characteristics. These spaces feature many concrete elements, pipes, and red brick walls. The industrial style also features lighting reminiscent of that used in old factories to illuminate production lines.
Industrial style – kitchen
The industrial style was born shortly after the end of World War I in the United States. At that time, more and more people were forced to live in dilapidated factories. A frugal lifestyle and lack of funds forced them to live in absolute minimalism. Often, objects that were once part of production lines were given a new purpose. Loft interiors were dominated by a raw atmosphere, which was enhanced by large spaces and windows.
An industrial-style kitchen is all about the right choice of colors. Industrial spaces are full of white, gray, or beige. It is worth ensuring that these colors dominate the walls and floors. Light colors will make an industrial kitchen appear larger. Wood or concrete are perfect for the floor. The whole arrangement can be complemented with delicate accessories that will make the space less austere. However, it is worth exercising restraint in this regard so as not to disrupt the overall arrangement.
An industrial kitchen also means economical finishing materials. Metal elements are important. These can be exposed pipes or metal geometric lamps. Wire lamps are also a great choice. Metal can also be used as an element of industrial kitchen furniture, imitating rust.
Industrial kitchen furniture
Industrial kitchen furniture should be minimalist and simple in form. It can give the impression of being random or of having a history behind it. It is important that they are free of embellishments, decorative handles, or artistic carvings. They should also be highly functional. Industrial kitchen furniture can be combined with concrete or brick, as well as raw wood as a countertop. In large spaces, kitchens open to the living room can also be enriched with a kitchen island. However, it is important that it is free of decorative elements. Metal also works well in industrial kitchen furniture, giving the room a raw look and perfectly reflecting light.
Lighting is a very important element of an industrial kitchen. Ideally, the kitchen should be lit with both daylight and artificial light. Raw lamps in dark colors will contrast very well with light-colored furniture.
