Industrial kitchen ideas – how to incorporate the edgy trend into livable spaces

1. USE METAL PATINAS TO CREATE A STATEMENT

This magical-looking kitchen is equal parts timeless tradition and cutting edge industrial drama, incorporating a striking aged brass kitchen backsplash into the cooker hearth. Pairing matte black cabinetry and a vintage brass pendant light the effect is sophisticated and luxurious.

2. MIX RUSTIC AND INDUSTRIAL CHARM

If you're thinking about the industrial look but don't want to commit to overhauling your whole space, we think swapping out a few key pieces in an existing space can work really well. Rustic kitchens and the industrial aesthetic have a real synergy - both giving an opportunity to play with aged finishes and salvaged items.

3. OPT FOR STEEL FOR PRETTY AND DELICATE FINISHES

Steel surfaces work really well to elevate traditional kitchens and give an edgy industrial look. This lofty apartment in an old schoolhouse in the center of Brixton in London has incorporated a cream kitchen by deVOL into what was once the dining hall. White painted brick walls, cool industrial height windows, and the original school floorboards fill this room with simple, original, and historic beauty.

4. EXPOSED BRICK AND BLACK CABINETS

Exposed brick and a classic black kitchen are a surefire way to achieve the on-trend look. Historically the industrial aesthetic takes clues from old factories and industrial spaces that have been converted  – it's a look that can be achieved on a budget as it plays on celebrating the bare bones of a space.

5. STYLE YOUR PANS USING COOL OPEN SHELVING

Weaving in an industrial look into a small or rental property is easily done with a cool good quality kitchen shelving unit you can take with you when you leave. Open shelving makes cooking easy and accessible and is an easy solution if you don't have enough space for pan storage elsewhere in your kitchen.

6. CELEBRATE RAW MATERIALS

A move away from the loft-style look, this historic interior focuses on the raw grandeur of this Georgian property by mixing materials to create a minimalist gallery-like marble kitchen. A huge darkly veined marble island takes center stage in a room where wood paneling is stripped bare to give a simple look that is a celebration of materials.

7. CREATE A SOPHISTICATED INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN

An industrial look doesn't have to mean a worn and salvaged aesthetic, you can achieve a luxurious and sophisticated take on the look by opting for high-quality crafted furniture with visible grain paired with smart black kitchen cabinets and elements of retro styling.

8. USE POURED CONCRETE TO BREAK UP A SPACE

Concrete is one of the cornerstones of industrial design and is often used in abundance to achieve a striking on-trend look but we love how it has been used minimally in this eclectic loft space bringing the whole look together.
