Pale red brick, noble wood, majestic glass, and rough architectural concrete in the interior. Metal components. Pipes along the wall. Bulbs suspended on long cables from the ceiling. Everywhere there is gray, black, and dirty white. A hangar? An art workshop? Although the industrial style originates from the interior of a former factory building, today it can be found even in the smallest spaces – in a stylish flat in an apartment building or a charming studio apartment. All you need is a consistent selection of materials. The ‘love of antiques’ and the ability to expose things in theory worn out, incomplete, or seemingly unaesthetic will be appropriate here. The precision of the interior finish goes to the background. If you want to arrange a room straight from a workshop or a production plant, consider the arrangement of your kitchen. After all, it is a workroom. What tricks can we use to create an atmospheric flavor factory?

Space is one of the most important elements of industrialism. No divisions or limitations. Therefore, if only there is such a possibility, it is worth betting on an open, minimalist kitchen that is economical in decorations. The one that is ruled by simplicity. Hence, we give up heavy, decorative curtains and drapes and expose a window that, in the evening, can be covered up with a Roman or Venetian blind. We free the kitchen countertop from excessive amounts of accessories and use uncomplicated geometric forms. We emphasize the presence of finishing materials – wooden beams, non-plastered surfaces, and parts of the electrical installation or ventilation. We move within subdued, cool colors. We complement the arrangement with details straight from the workshop – lamps in metal frames, black spotlights, steel table and chair legs, furniture with signs of use, wooden kitchen utensils.

And which elements of kitchen equipment fit into this raw, fashionable trend?

A granite sink in a subdued colour, such as the Laveo brand’s Stella or Trzynastka, dropped in a wooden worktop, will be perfect for industrial spaces. It may be complemented by both chrome-plated, easy to keep clean Laveo’s Luna fittings or high-gloss steel Laveo’s Bona mixer taps. Fittings with decorative, granite-like surface will create a harmonious composition in the dishwashing area. A good solution is using blackboard paint above the worktop. This will not only ingeniously add to the kitchen decor, but also provide a place to leave notes for family members or collect recipes for favourite dishes.

The “working” character of the decorated space can be emphasised by an elegant cooker hood with a glossy glass finish in both black and grey. Particularly recommended are Laveo’s Mitra cooker hood with a modern shape owned to the use of curved glass or the traditional, light and subtle appliance Kvadrato by Laveo.

Despite its unobvious character, the style of post-industrial spaces finds room for individualism in interior design. Elements that warm up the space such as wood or touches of turquoise and vivid red are allowable. The kitchen seems to be an ideal place for industrialism. Elements of its equipment, as well as its purpose, co-create the decor in line with the assumptions of the fashionable trend.
