How to implement this complex, but such an effective style in the kitchen in an apartment and in a private house? We tell and show by the example of real projects.

Textured finish, emphasis on materials, functional decor and a noble natural palette spectacular and bold industrial style is the best fit for the cooking area. In this article, we tell and show, using the example of Russian projects, how to design a loft-style kitchen in a country house, a spacious apartment or a small-sized one.

Creating a loft-style kitchen interior

Style Features

The design of the loft kitchen is based on the general principles of this direction. It is characterized by:

There is a big difference between a loft-style kitchen in Khrushchev and in a spacious country house. With a large area and high ceilings, you can get closer to the original with all its authentic elements: brickwork, huge windows, massive chandeliers, large furniture. In the conditions of a city apartment, it is unlikely to be possible to do this. In this case, it is better to focus on the most striking characteristics of the style that you like and focus on them. For example, brickwork looks great in combination even with an ordinary light-colored MDF or chipboard headset.

Loft in its pure form is not found in the interior so often, as a rule, it is mixed with other styles. Minimalism, scandi, boho and contemporary are especially successfully combined with it. Also an interesting contrast is created by classic details on a “brutal” background: for example, a crystal chandelier or candlesticks with gilding, dining chairs with velvety upholstery, a light glossy sheen of enamel on facades.

Rules of registration

To design a stylish kitchen in the spirit of industrial, follow the general principles they are relevant for both a private house and a small apartment.

Finishing

Choose a rough textured material for at least one wall: for example, lay it out with a brick, apply textured plaster with imitation cement or rust. You can do otherwise, leave the walls neutral, and move the attention to the concrete or decorated with contrasting beams ceiling. Practical materials are suitable for the floor: quartz vinyl, granite for stone or concrete, tiles, varnished parquet in the living room area.

Furniture

Furniture should be of high quality, monolithic, if the kitchen area allows massive. At the same time, it is important not to create a feeling of clutter. For the cooking area, use modular loft kitchens with minimalistic or, conversely, textured facades. It is better to choose a built-in technique so that it does not violate the overall appearance.

Think over the layout of the kitchen. It will depend on the area and shape of the room, as well as your needs. The headset can be any: angular, U-shaped, parallel or with an island. The main thing is to make the space as open and visually spacious as possible, not to block it with piers, blind partitions and high shelves. Especially if the cooking area is combined with the living room.

Decor

In the cooking area, due to high humidity and constant temperature changes, it is not recommended to use a lot of decor. Choose functional jewelry that is made of materials that match the characteristics. These can be decorative vases, beautiful dishes, textured panels or tiles on an apron.

Complementing the interior with accessories, play on contrasts. Combine rough and soft textures, elements of different styles, finishing materials, shapes and silhouettes, vintage and new technologies. The loft welcomes a share of eclecticism, especially if you do not design it in its pure form, but stylize it.

Lighting

Accent lamps will best emphasize the industrial character of the kitchen. Choose models with metal, glass, and braided parts. Suspensions on chains or steel chains, as well as imitations of street lights, look very stylish.

Examples of projects

Brick, wood and metal

This two-bedroom apartment with an area of 88 squares is ideal for embodying the most striking features of the industrial style.

The cooking area was combined with the living room, getting a bright and spacious common space dominated by materials typical of this style: wood, metal, brick, concrete. Large windows give a lot of natural light, so the color scheme was chosen rather dark. The only exception is the white kitchen set, which stands out from the general background not only in color, but also in a concise design. Smooth facades without handles and a quartz agglomerate countertop effectively contrast with the texture-rich finish of the entire room.

In addition to the palette, the furniture itself acts as a zoning tool. So, the dining table and sofa are located almost close to each other, but separated by a small partition. Also, the dining group is designated by an accent lamp in an industrial style.

Loft-style kitchen in the house

Despite the brutal and very minimalistic interior, this house is not inhabited by an inveterate bachelor, but by a family with four children.

The textured finish with plaster for concrete and an abundance of rich gray color immediately catches the eye. Instead of a standard door, the kitchen-living room is separated from the hall by a curtain in the tone of an unusual solution that attracts attention.

There was enough space on 33 square meters for everything you need: a cooking area, a large dining table for six people, a sofa group with a TV. The kitchen was placed linearly, along the entire wall. The classic two-tier headset was abandoned, instead they made a thin dark tabletop that covers the metal frame. It has organized storage on shelves, which are covered by the same fabric curtain as the opening. A solid apron with a light steel gloss protects the working area from dirt and steam. 

In the dining area, many cozy natural textures were used, they successfully contrast with the cold of concrete, metal and a dense gray shade. A wooden lacquered table, garden chairs with upholstered seats, accent lamps in the spirit of boho and eco-style are complemented by a large amount of light from panoramic windows. This is a great example of how minimalism and loft can be organically combined in the interior of a country house.

Loft in the studio

Many people think that loft style is incompatible with small-sized apartments. This studio has an area of 38 sq. m. m is a vivid example of the opposite.

There are several interesting solutions here that are worth taking note of:
