Industrial Style Kitchen: the metallic beauty that lives on
Rescued from the New York factories of the 50's, the industrial style will bring a lot of personality and boldness to your kitchen.
This trend originated in the mid-20th century in the USA, when the economic recession hit, as warehouses and factories were fitted to be rented out as housing or art studios.
An example of this could be Andy Warhol's atelier in New York, where the style of the original factory coexisted with artworks in his kitchen and different rooms, or Alex's home in the Flash Dance movie.
Characteristics of an industrial style kitchen
The industrial style is committed to the creation of vibrant and contrasting environments that are functional and evocative of craftsmanship. You can furnish your kitchen with these characteristics and renew its “look,” thus building its strength and turning it into a protagonist.
Choose materials with industrial aesthetics such as concrete, steel or raw wood
Imagine a vintage warehouse with facing bricks, concrete beams and steel columns, and incorporate an open and very modern kitchen to that foundation. To achieve this style in your kitchen, Neolith offers architectural surfaces with industrial aesthetics, but with more hygienic and durable features as well.
The Iron Collection is reminiscent of untreated iron, and offers different shades that are ideal for a kitchen countertop.
Opt for contrasting and dark colors in your kitchen
In an industrial style kitchen we can usually find colors such as black, and shades of brown or gray. The Steel Collection creates metallic effects in dark tones, and a lot of energy and innovation.
Open and spacious layout
An industrial style kitchen is usually arranged in a space that is open towards the living room and has high ceilings. The Neolith Cladding allows for continuity across the spaces, as they are perfectly suited for use both on the kitchen island and on the living room floor, as well as, for example, on the fireplace.
Choose industrial-style furniture
In kitchens of this style we usually find metal bar stools, iron lamps, large clocks or wooden furniture. The Timber Collection, inspired by different types of wood, is perfect for hiding appliances and storage areas in the kitchen, and goes very well with metallic elements.
Decorate the space with a multitude of details
Details make the difference. Paint the pipes and wires to highlight them, and incorporate metal signs to decorate the walls. Leather handles will also add character to your kitchen, as will retro appliances.
