An industrial kitchen could incorporate brushed metal hardware, possibly stainless steel worktops and units, exposed brick splashbacks, some pendant industrial lights and perhaps an industrial dining table made from reclaimed timber. You could also add metal or wooden bar stools, exposed lightbulbs and a piece of recycled furniture that’s been turned into a kitchen island. In an industrial bedroom there’s also opportunities for exposed brick and Crittall-style windows to achieve the warehouse style, and you could add scaffolding shelving and an Anglepoise lamp to add to the industrial style.
