Help! Colour Scheme for Industrial Style Kitchen

8 years agoI love complex colour schemes - try something like this with olive, sage and petrol as the dominant colours to offset the greys of the concrete. It will work with the yellows/grey/beige tones of the London stock brick and help to bridge the gap between the yellow and grey.
Have fun with it - I always add colour to my projects and everyone always ummms and ahhs but loves the finished result because it feels like their house not a show home ! But the trick is to find a colour that really does it for you and weave that in. Then you'll never tire of it.
All the best and good luck ! Zoe

Help with color scheme for kitchen.
Comments (2)With grey shaker cabinets and white metro tiles the world is your oyster! You could keep it all very neutral or add a splash of colour or pattern to the floor. Browse the photos on Houzz to find some kitchens you like and you'll soon see what styles you are drawn to. I'd recommend a light colour for the worktop as dark ones tend to show up every tiny crumb so you'll be constantly wiping it down. In terms of lighting, it's so important to make sure the lighting works well for you. Make sure you have plenty of light in front of you on the work surfaces. Go for quirky wall lights or a row of little pendants, or if you have wall cabinets then opt for under cabinet lighting. Then you can choose a statement pendant in the middle to give general light to the room and acts more as a feature than practical lighting. Get in touch if you'd like more advice on tiles, colours or lighting plans. Good luck!...See MoreIndustrial/New York loft style kitchen
Comments (42)GEC Anderson supplied the stainless steel sinks, worktops, cabinets, drawers and shelving and I don't know where the other furniture or items came from, unfortunately. Here is another view of the room in which the table and chairs may be slightly more visible. Hope that might help!...See Morecolour scheme help for kitchen/diner
Comments (12)I had my kitchen by Howdens and I noticed silly things like cupboards hinged the wrong way or odd sized wall cupboards ie. left had was 450 and right hand was 500. Luckily I'm a designer so picked up on it so I'd advise double checking all sizes and hinges etc. I would definitely start neutral and see how you feel once everything is in. Painting a wall takes no time at all and better to get it right than try do everything at once. I have a blackboard wall in my kitchen, everyone thought I was mad doing a wall in black but it looks very effective and doesn't effect the light at all....See Morekitchen style/colour scheme
Comments (20)It's tricky as you may rip it out in 5 years time, so buying furniture to match in may be something you later regret. The issue with putting 'greys' in is that they all have an undertone, and the yellow of your units will make any true grey look violet and thus create a discord. It would also make your units look even creamier. The only way around this is to use a grey that has some yellow in it so that it harmonises and doesn't discord. A stoney colour with a slight tinge of olive may be worth trying, you could go much darker on the back wall. The saturated turquoise is throwing things out and confusing the situation. If it were my kitchen and I wanted to spend a bit on it until I could change it, I would paint all of the walls a neutral that connected with the units, then remove the upper cupboards on the back wall and paint it a much darker colour, fix a couple of shelves across that back wall and tile with the right tiles....See More

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHi there, I would juxtapose the exposed brick with sleek and polished surfaces. You could for example leave the exposed brick just above the first shelf but install coloured glass splashback just underneath the first shelf. That would be practical for cleaning and you could introduce a splash of colour there. The colours that I find look good with brick is mustard yellow and teal, but you could experiment with others such as dark blue and orange. I have put together a moodboard for you and you could put together something similar with other colours if you want or we could provide a colour consultation for you if you wish to take into account the aspect of the room and the overall levels of natural and artificial lighting.

Hi, please see images above of a basement conversion we recently completed with polished concrete floors, exposed brick and similar colour scheme to what you are thinking of using.

8 years agoThanks so much for your comments and tips. All very helpful! Here's a couple of pics to show the finished result, and tiles from Marrakech design that we'll be putting on the splashback. Still need to make a big waney edged plank and steel table to finish it off.
