LOVING: The Industrial Kitchen

I've always loved the industrial look and recently I've come across some amazing ideas for industrial kitchens. The thing I love most about the industrial style is that it favours materials, and places a huge emphasis on quality, aged or rustic materials. 

Kitchens are particularly suited to the industrial look for the reason that there are lots of areas where materials needs to be considered; countertops, cupboards, handles, lighting, taps and flooring will all need a material chosen.

While the industrial colour palette tends to stick to black, whites and greys, warmth and character can be enhanced by the use of exposed wood, bricks, metals like chrome, steel, brass, copper or tin and tiles like marble. You may also wish to introduce an accent colour to make for a more dynamic scheme, colours like mustard yellows, earthy greens or petrol blues are just a few that work really nicely in an industrial scheme.
