4 Ways to Create the Ultimate Industrial Style Kitchen

The raw look of an industrial kitchen has a truly timeless and edgy appeal. With a focus on natural materials and distressed details, it’s an aesthetic that is certain to never go out of style. If you would like to create this cool urban look into your own kitchen, read on for our insightful top tips – you won’t want to miss it!

Make it Cool with Concrete-effect Tiles

Bring the industrial look into the heart of the home with concrete-effect tiles! Providing the ultimate look and feel, the Barrington Concept Graphite Tile is an idyllic choice as it offers an exposed look with a contemporary finish. Concrete-effect wall tiles make an excellent backdrop to the usual industrial kitchen, especially when combined with a polished concrete floor and textured finishing touches, the perfect surface for even the smallest of kitchens!

Choose the Right Materials

This sought-after interior trend is also renowned for using building materials within the design, think concrete, exposed brick, steel, and last but not least, wood. Not only do these materials have an attractive rustic aesthetic, they are also super practical and easy to clean and maintain, and the laidback qualities will only be enhanced with age. You could focus on one material finish to keep a cohesive look, or mix materials for an on-trend aesthetic. For extra appeal, opt for wood-effect tiles! This will give an authentic industrial vibe; you will feel like you’re living in 1970s Manhattan.

Opt for Open Shelves

Open shelves instantly give a cool, laidback feel to kitchens. Keep it warehouse by using thick wooden planks to create the shelving and add an eclectic mix of glass and ceramic jars to spruce them up. Not only will this look great, but it will add an extra dose of functionality to the kitchen, making kitchen essentials like spices or utensils easy to reach for.

Style with Vintage

Nothing says warehouse chic like vintage furniture and accessories! To complete your industrial look, add the final finishing touches with vintage pieces and antiques. Chairs and light fixtures are a great way to introduce some personality to the space.

Opt for wooden stools or oversized metal pendant lights, a bit of wear and tear will add to the look, allowing you to create your very own warehouse vibe.
