Industrial kitchens

Raw materials, exposed structure and clean lines. An industrial kitchen borrows from warehouses and city lofts, and a well-made German kitchen adds the storage, workspace and tough finishes to live with it every day.

Colours that make it work

Industrial kitchens are built on three finishes: stone, metal and wood. Schüller makes convincing concrete, steel and oak doors, and its matt lacquer comes in 29 colours to tie them together.

Stone and concreteFrom quarry to kitchen

Concrete, granite and marble give an industrial kitchen its raw, solid feel. They are tough, cope well with heat and stains, and suit busy family kitchens. Use them on doors, worktops or a splashback.

MetalThe backbone of industrial style

Metal used to mean stainless steel appliances, copper taps and factory-style lights. Now doors can carry the look too, with finishes that look like dark, aged sheet steel. Pair them with stone or wood so the room does not feel cold.

WoodBringing warmth to industrial spaces

Too much stone and metal can feel cold, so wood is what makes an industrial kitchen feel like home. Its grain and warm tones soften the harder finishes. Try oak on an island, open shelves or a chunky worktop.

Questions
Industrial kitchen FAQs

Short answers to what people ask us about industrial style kitchens.

What is an industrial style kitchen?
One inspired by old warehouses and city lofts: raw materials like concrete, metal and wood, exposed structure and clean lines. It is practical too, with plenty of workspace, smart storage and tough finishes, and an open layout that suits hosting.
How do I stop an industrial kitchen feeling cold?
Balance the hard finishes with wood. An oak island, open shelves or a wooden worktop next to concrete or steel doors makes the room feel warmer straight away. Warm lighting and a few plants help too.
Do I need real concrete and metal?
No. Schüller’s concrete and steel effect doors give the look without the weight, cost or upkeep, and they are easy to wipe clean. Save the real thing for a statement worktop or lights if you like.
Which kitchen ranges suit an industrial style?
Schüller Targa has a dark steel effect, Elba a concrete look, and Rocca and Avola bring in oak. Siena in Anthracite or Stone grey ties them together. Nobilia designer kitchens are a great value alternative. You can see door samples of every range in our Cardiff showroom.
How much does an industrial kitchen cost?
The style does not change the price much; the size of the room, the range and the appliances do. Complete kitchens with us start from £12k. Try our kitchen price estimator for a guide.
