Visible bricks and pipes, recycled elements, metal details: the industrial-style kitchen has now made its way into homes, bringing with it all the charm of the old New York warehouses that were converted into lofts and artists’ studios in the 1980s, starting this trend in interior design. If you’re tempted to buy industrial furniture, follow this little guide to recreate the typical atmosphere of this style in your kitchen.
Colors and materials
The industrial style focuses on dark colors such as black, blue, brown and gray, used in their roughest variants to reproduce the “worn-out” effect. However, in order not to darken the kitchen too much, it is important to balance the hues well by adding a few touches of color, such as in accessories: rust, red and orange, reminiscent of an old factory setting, are the most commonly used bright colors.Another solution to create a warm atmosphere is the use of natural materials, which can be alternated with dark colors: first of all it is wood and then metals such as steel, copper and aluminum: the visual and material contrast leads to really evocative compositions.
