# Picture an industrial kitchen with concrete, steel and open shelves

Industrial kitchens borrow from restaurant and workshop kitchens: concrete or stainless steel worktops, dark matte cabinets in charcoal, black or deep green, open shelving on black steel brackets or pipe, a metro tile splashback with dark grout, exposed ducting over the cooker and factory pendants over the island. Upload a photo of your kitchen to ImageQuarry, ask for the industrial version, and compare front colors and worktop materials version by version before any order is placed.

Compare concrete, steel and dark fronts on your own kitchen layout.

## How to plan an industrial kitchen with ImageQuarry

1. **Photograph the main run and island** Include the worktop, the wall above it and the space over the island where pendants go.
2. **Ask for fronts and worktop** Describe dark matte fronts with a concrete or stainless steel worktop.
3. **Open up the wall** On that version, ask for black steel open shelves and a metro tile splashback with dark grout.
4. **Light the island** Add factory pendants and compare with your original kitchen.

## Industrial kitchen requests to try

Requests to ask for. Each produces a new version you can compare with the last.

- **Dark matte fronts**: Charcoal or black.
- **Concrete worktop**: Raw and grey.
- **Stainless steel**: Restaurant style.
- **Pipe shelving**: Open storage.
- **Metro tile**: White with dark grout.
- **Factory pendants**: Metal domes.

## What an industrial kitchen needs

Professional kitchens shaped the industrial kitchen: durable surfaces, open storage and practical lighting.

- **Durable, raw surfaces**: Concrete, stainless steel and dark stone stand up to heavy use and look the part.
- **Dark fronts, light tile**: Charcoal or black cabinets with white metro tile is a common balance.
- **Open storage on metal**: Shelving on steel brackets or pipe shows pans and plates.
- **Task lighting**: Factory pendants and under shelf lights where you work.
- **Your kitchen in new versions**: Start from a photo you upload and describe the change; each change makes a new version beside the original.
- **Branch to try steel and concrete**: Branch from one version to try each worktop and keep both.

## What is a industrial kitchen?

An industrial kitchen is a durable, workshop inspired kitchen with dark matte cabinets, concrete or stainless steel worktops, open shelving on metal brackets, metro tile and factory lighting.

_It is not the same as a modern farmhouse kitchen, which pairs white cabinets with a farmhouse sink and warmer rustic wood._

## Industrial kitchen questions

### Can I see dark cabinets in my kitchen first?

Upload the photo, select it and ask for dark fronts, naming what to keep. The new version appears next to the original.

### Concrete or steel?

Concrete feels warmer and more crafted; steel feels more professional. Compare a version of each.

### Will a dark kitchen feel small?

In small kitchens, try dark lower cabinets with light upper walls or open shelves.

### Can I keep adjusting this industrial kitchen?

Yes. Each request builds on the kitchen version you selected, so you can change one industrial detail at a time.

### Can I compare industrial kitchen versions and download one?

Yes. Line up the industrial kitchen versions you made, choose the one you would build, and download it to share with whoever is quoting the work.

### Can a restaurant photo guide it?

Add it as a reference. It can guide the result; review each version to see how close it gets.
