If there is a style that combines restraint, practicality and accessibility, then, of course, this is a loft. What a few decades ago was just an efficient workspace has now turned into a special style that slowly moves from loft-furnished lofts to magnificent villas and modern penthouses. This trend, wandering from generation to generation, seems to never die! There are several places in the house that are particularly suitable for the beauty and unassuming simplicity of the loft-style, and this is primarily the kitchen.

We bring to your attention an amazing collection of kitchens in industrial-industrial style that will inspire you along the way. Some of them combine modern aesthetics with industrial elements, others adhere to the classic loft design. Rummage in this collection, for sure, you will find something suitable for your home!

Floor and walls
Loft style is a rough textural beauty in its most diverse manifestations. Simply put, when designing a kitchen in the loft style, you should think about tiled, brick and even concrete walls. Brick, obviously, enjoys the greatest love among house owners and is currently the leader in the list of the most popular materials for wall decoration. But do not forget about the importance of a suitable flooring - it is also able to make a significant contribution to the process of transforming the room.

You can’t count the flooring options - from parquet laid out with “chevrons” or “herringbone” to dark-colored floorboards that give the industrial kitchen a truly vintage look. Cover the apron with brick tiles, hang several open shelves, and now your kitchen has become even more charming.
Loft style kitchen decor
Surely you had to see a really unusual loft-style kitchen and wonder: how did its owner manage to create such a unique, bewitching space? It goes without saying that the right selection of decor and accessories that fit well with the style is far from the first in the list of actions that made it possible to achieve such a result. But at the same time, it is the decor that gives your kitchen an individuality that reflects your own taste, makes it unlike other kitchens, and does not allow you to slide down to generally accepted standards.

Modern design
For many, the loft style is a search for a balance between modern sophistication and the harsh notes, angular touches that this style brings. Such a fusion of styles works great, and you can raise or lower the level of gross industrial beauty in the kitchen by simply adding or removing some decor elements over time.The chic loft-style kitchen creates a feeling of attractive softness, it is open to the splendor and gloss of luxurious cabinets and countertops. Do not forget that any style, and the loft is no exception, is created not only by the decoration of the ceiling and walls, but also by lighting.

Gray is excellent for interior design in loft style, as this color combines the harsh restraint of industrial space with modern sophistication. Anyone who decided to equip the kitchen in this style can start by replacing the fixtures with the ones most suitable for the chosen design area, and then, over time, bring in individual elements (for example, cabinets or bar stools) to find the perfect combination of modern and classic.
Small loft-style kitchens
Since, as examples of the implementation of the loft style, we usually see large rooms with giant windows and double-height ceilings, it seems that this style is not intended for small kitchens. This is completely untrue, since efficiency, economy and ergonomics are the defining principles of the industrial style, which makes it ideal for small rooms.
Dish racks that make it easy to hang all your kitchen utensils, shelves that remove all unnecessary, and wear-resistant countertops come together to create a small but convenient and, most importantly, very attractive and stylish cooking space.

As open-plan living space quickly becomes the norm, a small kitchen in the corner not only adds a sense of intrigue, but also makes it easy to delimit space without the need for mats or false ceilings! Add a few color accents, some natural greenery, let in enough sunlight to give the room a lighter and more joyful atmosphere.
Shelving and other storage
Open shelving is another great way to bring the beauty of a loft style to your kitchen while expanding the available storage space. But do not forget that the rack should create a feeling of natural rudeness, and if you have a modern kitchen set, shelves made of raw wood or stainless steel will create the necessary contrast. Kitchen racks, antique dish racks and freestanding cabinets will allow you to fully use the available space and maximize free space even in the smallest kitchen.
