12 May 5 Stunning Looks To Feed Your Industrial Kitchen Renovation Inspiration
White kitchens have had their day. We’re inspired by the functional style of an industrial kitchen that has moved on from the common white-washed look.
Industrial-style kitchens use earthy, homey-feeling materials. Items such as distressed brick, raw wood and poured concrete can create kitchen spaces that are virtually indestructible.
If you’re considering a kitchen renovation in your home, consider breaking away from the crowd of white kitchens. These gorgeous industrial-inspired kitchens might be just what the doctor ordered.
Neutral colours and the warmth of rough-hewn hood beams soften an otherwise hard concrete and granite kitchen. The space combines the best of simplicity, functionality, style and also a homey feel.

Distressed red brick creates the perfect backdrop for this urban lounge. It helps create that industrial feel from the kitchen to the living room and throughout. High contrast in the colour scheme and the naked hanging lights also perfect the look.

Even small kitchens also benefit from the industrial style. Proper space planning and the use of well-sized appliances help combine style with functionality.

One of the primary features that screams “industrial” is the installation of open shelving. Open shelving can work in almost any kitchen because it can be wall-mounted, standalone, or both, as in this example. This type of shelving looks beautiful and can help industrial kitchens appear larger – however, clutter has the opposite effect. Therefore if you’re considering open shelving, be sure you can keep your kitchen organized and tidy. Think about purchasing dishware, bowls and even small appliances that match your colour scheme to minimize the appearance of clutter.

With wood countertops, or butcher-block island counters, your kitchen can either go industrial or country. Clean lines, wide-open space, hanging lights and simple cupboards contribute to an industrial style when using wood countertops.
