65 Industrial Style Kitchen For A Unique Home

The kitchen is one of the busiest places in a home. Other than cooking meals, you can receive guests and family members alike. It is then important to have a kitchen design that is functional and efficient. If that’s what you’re searching for, you should consider an industrial style kitchen.

What is industrial kitchen style?

An industrial-style kitchen is a trendy urban design that prioritizes functionality and efficiency. It is a well-structured design that prioritizes the ease of movement around the kitchen as you work. However, this does not mean that aesthetics is compromised. In fact, an industrial style kitchen brings a lot of styles.

Defined by their raw textural beauty, industrial style kitchens can be a versatile concept to work with. Exposed bricks, stainless steel, and concrete are stapled materials in an industrial style anything. You can find that versatility when you get creative and mix these industrial elements with other design elements.

What color should an industrial kitchen be?

When it comes to industrial style kitchens, it is a style that is inspired by and supposed to emulate commercial kitchens; hence, the name. This means that industrial kitchens tend to be clinical, and color can be hard to incorporate into the space. In addition, stainless steel is commonly used in these places.

But industrial style kitchens in residential homes have evolved to incorporate colors one way or another. If it’s not in the exposed brick colors, you can use tiles with colors based on your own personal taste. You can also incorporate colors with the cabinet doors, if not the countertops or wall tiles.

In different variations of the industrial-style kitchen, you can expect a plethora of colors to be used for different styles. Loft-style kitchens, for example, are filled with earthy to dark edgy colors.

Let’s check out some industrial-style kitchens to inspire you!
