Rescued from the factories of the 50s in New York, the industrial style will bring a lot of personality and daring to your kitchen.

Rescued from the factories of the 50s in New York, the industrial style will bring a lot of personality and daring to your kitchen.

This trend originated in the middle of the 20th century in the US when the economic recession made warehouses and factories available for rent as well as homes or art workshops.

An example could be Andy Warhol's atelier in New York, where the style of the original factory coexisted with works of art in his kitchen and different rooms, or Alex's home in the Flash Dance movie.

Features of an industrial style kitchen

The industrial style is committed to the creation of vibrant and contrasting environments, functional and evocative of craftsmanship. You can recreate these features into your kitchen and renew its look by generating strength and prominence in it.

Choose materials with an industrial aesthetic such as concrete, steel or raw wood

Imagine a vintage warehouse with exposed bricks, concrete beams, and steel columns, and incorporate a very modern open kitchen. To achieve this style in your kitchen, Neolith offers architectural surfaces with an industrial aesthetic, but also with more hygienic and durable features

The Iron collection is reminiscent of untreated iron and offers different shades that are ideal for the kitchen countertop.

Select contrasting and dark colors in your kitchen

In an industrial-style kitchen we usually find colors like black and brown or gray tones. The Steel collection generates metallic effects in dark tones, and a lot of energy and innovation.

Open and spacious distribution

An industrial style kitchen is usually arranged in an open space to the living room and with high ceilings. Neolith wall tiles make it possible to generate continuity in spaces, as they are perfectly suitable for use both on the kitchen island and on the living room floor, or also on the fireplace.

Choose industrial-style furniture

In this style of kitchen, 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 kitchen appliances and storage areas and combines very well with metallic elements.

Dress up the space with a myriad of details

The details make the difference. Paint the pipes and wires to highlight them and add metal posters to decorate the walls. Leather handles will also add character to your kitchen, as well as retro appliances.

Types of industrial style kitchens

The industrial style is gaining many adepts and is taking new forms by intertwining with other decorative trends. Mainly, we can find the following variations. Which one conquers you the most?

01. Modern industrial style kitchens

This style is committed to clean and minimalist lines, with a contemporary aesthetic and neutral and discreet tones. The New York - New York model can offer distinction and dynamism to your modern industrial kitchen design.

02. Nordic industrial style kitchen

Without abandoning the industrial character, this style is committed to a more sophisticated image, with neutral and light colors and stainless steel details. It retains the functionality of the Nordic style but incorporating some industrial elements.

03. White industrial style kitchen

It generates cleanliness and brightness to the environment, using mainly the white color, on walls, ceilings and furniture. Plants or hanging lamps can be incorporated to provide touches of color.

04. Modern colored industrial kitchens

This version is more daring and plays with bold and bright colors. We can find colored furniture and appliances, and painted walls to create contrasts with the surfaces of industrial aesthetics.

05. Industrial vintage style kitchen

The vintage style sweetens our palate. In these kitchens we can find reclaimed wood, retro signs and lamps, and exposed brick walls. You can restore old elements and furniture and incorporate them into your kitchen and generate an eclectic image that will not go unnoticed by your guests.

Neolith krater combines perfectly with these elements and helps you to achieve this unique style.

06. Rustic industrial kitchen

In this trend, rustic surfaces such as stone or wood coexist with industrial surfaces such as steel. We often find exposed pipes and objects made of copper or bronze.

In the Fusion collection you can find different models inspired by stone or cement that will bring character to your kitchen.
