Complete industrial rustic style kitchens

Indualtriales rustic dark wood kitchens

Complete, rustic and industrial. We have used numerous terms to refer to the kitchens that illustrate this post. Are country style kitchens that have as protagonist the wood and that at the same time flirt with style industrial. To do this, they combine their most classic elements with other materials such as iron or brass.

But to fully understand this curious combination of decorative styles and the reasons why they work, first of all we must briefly review the characteristics of each of them:

A successful combination of styles

El rustic it is well known and easy to recognize. It is what we often identify as a “traditional style”, where natural materials take center stage, such as wood or stone, fabrics… It provides warmth and simplicity, filling the atmosphere of our kitchen with an almost handmade air. The predominant colors are brown, green and gray.

Moreover, the industrial style It has a series of well-known hallmarks: a clear commitment to simple, almost bare spaces and structures. In this style, for example, exposed brick walls, ceiling beams, pipes, etc. High ceilings and large windows that let in a lot of light also play an important role. If our kitchen has these qualities, the final result will be better.

Then, How to marry rustic and industrial styles in a kitchen? Like good cocktails, the antagonistic ingredients combine perfectly and the result is magnificent. The examples that we bring in this post corroborate this:

The question of space

As the images show, these are complete kitchens, not so much for their dimensions as for the possibilities they offer us to integrate different spaces to work, eat and relax in them. In these cases, the term “complete” refers to its practical meaning.

Kitchens with high ceilings offer us the perfect configuration to bet on the industrial style. In the example above, to display the smoke extractor tube above our heads and integrate it as one more element of the decoration. An original idea.

Otherwise, tall bookshelves, lots of metal accents, and casual stools paint an open, modern spatial picture, nicely offset by the wood and the charm of the traditional tiled floor with drawings and reliefs, which can also be achieved through vinyl panels.

Color and lighting

Too often the mistake is made of thinking that the industrial has to be cold, gray and devoid of life. These possible defects can be easily remedied by resorting to some furniture with personality and colorful elements. In the example you see above, this translates into a lovely solid wood table, the color red for the window frames and the fantastic color scheme of the floor.

It is important to know that the choice of dark tones, whether on floors or in cabinets, it can be a bit risky in small and/or poorly lit spaces. This "minimizes" the feeling of space. Instead, it works perfectly in large kitchens.

The second resource to blur both styles in our kitchen is light, preferably natural. It is not always possible to have a glass wall like the one in the image, but you can invest a little more in good overhead lighting, with spotlights embedded in the false ceiling or one or two large ceiling lamps.

Practical layout

This is a valid rule not only for the kitchen, but for all rooms in a house: one correct distribution of elements It can help you take advantage of all the possibilities offered by a stay. Likewise, poor layout will result in a smaller, less practical, and more uncomfortable space.

In all the examples in this post we find good examples of what a practical layout should be: large work surfaces (tables, countertops, etc.), the orderly presence of all the essential appliances to enjoy cooking and, not least, many auxiliary spaces to store the material: cupboards, shelves, cabinets...

The design of this kitchen, the one in the image that heads the post, is signed by Kobenhavns Mobelsnedker, a small carpentry workshop in Copenhagen that has already been the subject of numerous articles in editorials dedicated to interior design and decoration.

In addition to its herringbone-pattern hardwood floors and hand-carved smoked oak cabinets decorated with antique brass appliqués, we see exposed shelves, cabinets with stained glass windows, splendid chests of drawers and other storage solutions as practical as they are beautiful.

And it is that, as important as the external aspect, it must be the internal aspect. Today there are very practical solutions for organize and distribute closets and drawers that help keep them tidy. It is worth stopping and thinking about the use we want to give each of them and the most suitable distribution for them; Only then will we avoid having to improvise later.

Wood and metal

If we talk about rustic-style kitchens with an industrial touch, there are many decoration experts who synthesize the formula in this simple way: wood and metal. Of course, following some basic rules, such as respecting sobriety and not falling into excesses.

In this last proposal that we have brought to Decoora, wood is omnipresent and is shown in different shades. In this case, the metallic touches are the perfect complement, applied in the right measure. A simple but wide black table occupies the center of the kitchen. On the walls, next to the bare dark gray walls, there are tiles that simulate different patterns of wood. A very creative idea. Everything, in short, works aesthetically perfectly.

Also noteworthy are the beautiful ceiling lamps, suspended by long cables, a lighting resource that contributes its grain of sand in industrial decoration.

In short, this is what rustic-style kitchens and an industrial environment look like. The mixture is possible and gives us wonderful results. Who would not like to have a kitchen like this?
