Why It Works
Industrial kitchens succeed because the commercial-grade aesthetic is inherently functional. Stainless steel countertops and open metal shelving mimic professional chef kitchens, while concrete floors and exposed ductwork add character. Pendant lights with Edison bulbs provide warm contrast to the hard surfaces.
How to Achieve This Look
- 1
Install open metal shelving on at least one wall
- 2
Choose concrete or dark stone countertops
- 3
Select dark-toned cabinetry with simple hardware
- 4
Add industrial pendant lights in metal finishes
- 5
Use metal bar stools at the island or counter
- 6
Display cookware and utensils as part of the decor
Use commercial restaurant-style open shelving — it is cheaper than custom cabinetry and defines the look.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a industrial kitchen redesign cost?
Costs vary widely based on scope. A cosmetic refresh with paint, textiles, and accessories can start at $500-$2,000. A full renovation with new furniture, lighting, and surfaces typically runs $5,000-$25,000+ depending on room size and material quality. Using Layoutly AI to visualize changes first helps you prioritize spending where it matters most.
Can I achieve a industrial kitchen look on a budget?
Absolutely. Focus on the highest-impact, lowest-cost changes first: paint, textiles (throws, cushions, rugs), and lighting can dramatically shift a room's feel. Thrift stores and online marketplaces are great sources for industrial furniture. Layoutly helps you test budget-friendly options before purchasing.
How do I use AI to redesign my kitchen in industrial style?
Upload a photo of your current kitchen to Layoutly and select the industrial style. The AI will generate a redesigned version showing exactly how your space would look with industrial elements.
