INDUSTRIAL KITCHENS
Raw textural beauty in industrial kitchens
What’s industrial style? You have probably seen it in cafes. It’s a big trend. Think concrete, tiles, exposed bricks and pipes to mimic a warehouse.
Industrial kitchens are more “rough” and eclectic than classic kitchens. They’re raw, open and textural. They have a darker colour palette, often with timber or stainless steel features.
Open shelving is a popular choice for industrial style kitchens. Heavy statement appliances are kept on display to make the space come to life.

FAQ
What defines an industrial kitchen?
An industrial kitchen is defined by its raw, textural and functional aesthetic inspired by converted warehouses and urban loft spaces. Industrial kitchen design often incorporates materials such as concrete, exposed brick, stainless steel, black accents and timber, balanced with open shelving and statement appliances. The style embraces a more relaxed, lived-in look while still feeling refined and highly practical.
What colours work best in an industrial kitchen?
Industrial kitchens typically feature darker and moodier palettes. Popular choices include charcoal, black, deep grey, warm timber tones and concrete-inspired finishes. Many homeowners also soften the look with natural textures, brushed metals or lighter stone benchtops to create balance and warmth.
What type of appliances suit an industrial kitchen?
Freestanding ovens, exposed rangehoods, integrated appliances and statement cooktops all work well in industrial kitchen designs. Many homeowners also choose black or stainless steel appliances to complement the darker palette and warehouse-inspired aesthetic.
Can an industrial kitchen still feel luxurious?
Absolutely. At The Maker Designer Kitchens, industrial kitchens are elevated through bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances, carefully curated finishes and refined detailing. Luxury industrial kitchens often combine raw textures with sophisticated inclusions such as integrated lighting, custom islands and statement appliances.
What is a Pitt Cooktop and why does it suit industrial kitchens?
A Pitt Cooktop is an innovative cooking system where the gas burners are integrated directly into the benchtop rather than a traditional cooktop unit. It suits industrial kitchens perfectly because it creates a striking architectural feature while maintaining a sleek and functional workspace.
How can I make an industrial kitchen feel warmer?
Introducing timber textures, feature lighting, natural stone and layered materials can soften the industrial look and create a more inviting atmosphere. Combining darker cabinetry with warm woodgrain finishes is a popular way to balance raw elements with comfort and sophistication.
