Modern-industrial style is a style that has been largely revitalized by the adaptive reuse of old industrial buildings in the last few years. With homeowners and architects turning to forgotten structures in order to save both resources and the planet, the last decade has seen a significant spurt in modern-industrial homes across the world.

But what about small industrial kitchens with an exposed brick wall section? They just seem that much more beautiful; authentic even! The exposed brick wall gives the industrial space a more distinctive appeal even while ushering in textural contrast.

Exposed Brick Wall Sections

Exposed brick walls were considered ‘ungainly and visually poor’ for a very long time and homeowners and architects alike wanted to cover them up quickly in every room of the house. But times and trends have changed and a revitalized modern industrial style has seen a celebration of exposed brick at its beautiful best. If there is a brick wall hiding under all those layers of plaster in the small kitchen, then now is the time to bring it out and let it shine.

Combining Brick with Other Finishes

A small industrial kitchen might not seem like a place to try out too many finishes. Yet, you would be surprised at how easily you can mix two or three different finishes in these tiny areas and everything looks just organic. Wooden cabinets and floors add another material to the small kitchen with polished modern finishes filling in the gaps. Nothing looks overdone in here despite these multitude of textures!

Creating that Spacious Ambiance

We always tend to harp on about how essential it is to have the right lighting in small rooms and for good reason. Lighting in the industrial kitchen generally is not an issue during daytime because you tend to have large windows to rely on. But for those who do not have this comfort and after sunset, you need an even layer of recessed lights to drive away any sense of dullness.
