Designing a industrial chic kitchen

A industrial chic kitchen blends the industrial chic look — raw + refined, smoked oak, metal, leather — with layouts and details that suit a kitchen. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.

Industrial Chic kitchen palette

Start with warm plaster and oatmeal, add smoked oak for depth, then use blackened metal as an outline. Cognac and aged brass should appear as small warm notes.

Color roles

Warm plaster

A soft mineral ground that keeps brick and metal from making the room too dark.

Smoked oak

Provides depth in cabinetry and tables with more warmth than flat black.

Blackened metal

Best on frames, lighting and narrow outlines rather than broad uninterrupted surfaces.

Cognac leather

A warm, durable accent for benches, chairs and one statement seat.

Oatmeal textile

Bouclé, wool and linen soften the architectural contrast and improve acoustics.
